President Barack Obama was an avid basketball player, and he turned that court into one suitable for basketball.
Trump had been a regular spectator at the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament held in his native New York, but he has not attended since taking office.
Twitter had some thoughts:
Wow! Congratulations on a new tennis court. By the way, what about all the programs for the good of the people and nation as a whole? Don't you think that money would be better spent on the people instead of you? Greedy assholes.

We’d like it if your husband did his job and played less golf. Will he using the tennis courts? It could be good for his health as he’s looking a little doughy lately.

Can you be any more unrelatable? Wearing heals while pretending to shovel dirt? I thought you were fashion-forward and this is the image you present? Why not make it a friendly, casual event. So phony with people forced to gather around wearing suits on a tennis court 🙄
