President Donald Trump has declared that PGA Tour star Sam Burns will probably be in a position to take pleasure in his dinner plans in Washington, DC, thanks to his crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital.

Burns secured fourth place in the BMW Championship on Sunday, pocketing $910,000 after trailing behind Maverick McNealy, Robert MacIntyre, and match champion Scottie Scheffler. Burns also secured his spot in the Tour Championship, but is reportedly in Washington before making his method to Atlanta for the match.

Trump maintains a friendship with the Burns household and has beforehand hit the hyperlinks with Sam. Trump was questioned about the Washington scenario during his assembly with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday.

He cited Burns as proof of the numerous progress that has been achieved. This follows Joe Rogan’s renewed help for a Donald Trump assassination conspiracy principle.

“I had another friend of mine, he has a son who’s a great golfer – he’s on Tour and he came in fourth yesterday in the big tournament where Scottie Scheffler made the great shot,” Trump said at the White House, referencing Sam Burns. “And he said his son is going to dinner in Washington, DC, tonight.

“I said, ‘Would you may have allowed that to occur a 12 months in the past?’ He said, ‘No method.’ He said, ‘What you’ve got performed is unimaginable.’ And I believe the people notice it.”

Burns has previously demonstrated his backing for Trump. He participated in a golf round with the U.S. President prior to his re-election. Burns also joined a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort and encountered Elon Musk.

During an appearance on GOLF’s Subpar show, Burns commented: “People ask, ‘What’s he like?’ He’s precisely how you’d suppose he can be. He’s precisely what you see on TV, brutally trustworthy. He’s very open; you may just about ask him something.

“And he loves golf. He has some really funny stories, so it’s pretty cool to listen to. I asked him some stuff. I wasn’t sure if he would answer or not, but he did. On any hole, there’s close to 20 carts. If you’re paying attention and looking, you’ll see snipers, secret service everywhere. It’s funny, [because] I don’t know if this is the safest place or the most dangerous place in the world to be. I think it’s kind of both at the same time.”
