<\/p>\n
Incredible video shot less than 24 hours after the raid on the U.S. Capitol shows Donald Trump<\/strong> joking around with golf legends Gary Player<\/strong> <\/strong>and Annika Sorenstam<\/strong> … while the rest of the country was still in shock.<\/p>\n Remember, Player and Sorenstam had each been booked to receive the Presidential Medal of Honor — the highest civilian award in the country — from Trump at a White House ceremony set for January 7.<\/p>\n The issue … the insurrection at the capitol<\/strong> occurred on Jan. 6 — where 5 people died and many more were injured. Several buildings in the Capitol complex were evacuated and locked down.<\/p>\n Yet, Trump forged ahead with the medal ceremony — but decided to make it a private affair instead of a big public display.<\/p>\n Footage of the ceremony was captured by reporter Graham Bensinger<\/strong> — and shows Trump joking around with the golfers as if everything was normal.<\/p>\n “Gary earned the title ‘Mr. Fitness,’ Trump said … “He just told me, he said, ‘Sir, lose a couple of pounds.’ I said, ‘Okay, Gary\u2019’ … he said it in front of Annika. That was very rude, don’t you think?!! How rude can you be?”<\/p>\n The jokes were met with huge laughs from people in the room — and both Player and Sorenstam proceeded to praise Trump when they stepped in front if the mic.<\/p>\n “I want to say thank you for all that you’ve done and the service to our country,” Sorenstam said … “particularly, during the coronavirus crisis. I know it’s been very tough and challenging, but many congratulations on the rollout of the vaccine and warp speed.”<\/p>\n Player added that Trump’s White House has “changed the world for the better.”<\/p>\n In the weeks that followed, Trump was impeached<\/strong> — with officials accusing him of inciting the insurrection.<\/p>\n Bensinger sat down with Sorenstam one month later for his show “In Depth with Graham Bensinger<\/strong>” — and she admitted she’s heard the negative criticism about her decision to accept the award<\/strong> while others like Bill Belichick<\/strong> declined.<\/p>\n “I’ve received quite a bit of positive feedback from friends and family. But, then there’ve been some not so positive,” Sorenstam said … “And, I’ve heard those, and I’ve listened to those.”<\/p>\n Bensinger asked specifically what the negative criticism has been.<\/p>\n “I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t been on social media since then. The other things that I’ve heard, the negativities: not necessarily my achievements, but the timing.”<\/p>\n As for Trump, after he was impeached … the case went to the Senate, where he was ultimately acquitted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The entire “In Depth<\/strong>” episode airs this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
