Yesterday, Trump attracted media attention after he was spotted playing golf on his course in Virginia. Initial reports from the morning suggested he might be leaving the White House for a special coronavirus meeting.
Yet, later on in the day, reporters snapped pictures of him at his golf club in Sterling.
It came as Dr Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, on Friday said there was still “significant virus circulating” in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia, activities such as golf are encouraged.
In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has faced similar scrutiny over the coronavirus outbreak.
Mr Johnson is curerntly under pressure to sack his senior government adviser, Dominic Cummings.
Mr Cummings flouted lockdown rules and travelled hundreds of miles to his parent's house despite displaying symptoms of COVID-19, reports suggested on Friday evening.
Despite their differences and a different approach to the virus, Trump and Mr Johnson have shared a steady relationship.
Their disagreements never materialised to anything greater than a minor political scuffle.
For example, during prospective trade negotiations in the wake of Brexit, and the controversy over the potential privatisation of the NHS.

Mr Johnson then places his hand around the back of Trump so as to support him and prevent his falling.
The two have gone about handling the coronavirus outbreaks in their respective nations wholly different.
The US president initially suggested malaria treatment could cure the coronavirus.
Then, later on, during a press conference earlier this month, Trump floated the idea that sunlight might be able to be harnessed to kill the virus.
In the same press conference, with Dr Deborah Birx, the White House’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator, to his side, Trump suggested the ingestion of bleach and common cleaning supplies may prove decisive in killing the virus.
To this, Dr Birx’s recoiled as cameras honed in on the physician.
Trump said: “I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute.
“One minute! And is there a way we can do something, by an injection inside or almost a cleaning?
“Because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that.
“So, that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me.”
