Amid the ongoing celebration of Democratic candidate Joe Biden's projected victory in the US presidential election, the Associated Press appeared to have caught a shot of sitting President Donald Trump playing golf in Sterling.
The shot did not surprise social media users, who appear to be accustomed to Trump playing golf in any situation, as they said that it was "refreshingly normal" for POTUS to enjoy golfing while he is projected to lose the presidential election.
Users shared videos showing Trump on the golf course.

It’s refreshingly normal for Donald Trump to be on a golf course while the result of a presidential election is announced.
