Trump Reacts to Tiger Woods’ DUI Plea Deal, Says He’d Urged Golfer to Hire a Driver
“I thought it was very fair,” Trump, 80, said of the five-year license suspension
President Donald Trump's reaction to Tiger Woods' DUI plea deal revealed his personal connection to the golfer and his concerns about the golfer's ongoing back pain. When asked about the plea deal in the Oval Office, Trump expressed his knowledge of Woods and described him as "a great guy." He acknowledged Woods' ongoing pain issues, stating, "He suffers great pain.
It's a very tough situation because they didn't find alcohol on him; he didn't test positive at all for alcohol." Trump believed the plea deal was fair, given Woods' back problems. He added that Woods would have someone drive him, mentioning that he had advised this in the past due to the golfer's back issues. Woods agreed to a reduced charge of reckless and careless driving, and his driver's license was suspended for five years.
