JR Smith throws shade at Donald Trump for being at golf event
JR Smith had some criticism of President Donald Trump for being at the Presidents Cup golf event on Sunday.
The Americans won the event in New Jersey for the seventh straight time. The Americans winning the event wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was seeing the sitting president attend the event on the final day and present the trophy — becoming the first sitting president to do both.

Trump frequently criticized President Obama for golfing while on the job, which makes his actions even more hypocritical. He was golfing on Saturday at a time when American citizens in Puerto Rico are struggling to recover from the destruction caused by Hurricane Maria.
