LPGA pro Lexi Thompson spent part of Easter weekend golfing with President Donald Trump and right-wing pundit Rush Limbaugh.

The White House released photos of the threesome from the golf course at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

On Sunday, Thompson announced on Instagram that she would be taking a break from social media because of “hurtful things being said to me” and that any subsequent posts would be from her management team.

As of Tuesday afternoon, Thompson had not posted on Twitter or Instagram since announcing her hiatus. With her Twitter feed filled with posts promoting products and services, it seems likely she’ll have sponsor obligations to manage during her hiatus.

Thompson, Trump have regularly golfed together
This month was not the first time Thompson has golfed with Trump.

The White House announced in March that Trump and Thompson played a round together.

In 2016 — before Trump was president — Thompson told the Arizona Daily Star that she had a relationship with Trump through her family and had played with him on multiple occasions. She said then that Trump had offered her a membership to one of his courses as a place to practice.

"He knows our family very well," Thompson told the Daily Star, per Golf.com. "He treats us amazing. He goes out there every weekend when he is home."

She told Golf Digest in 2017 that golfing with Trump had changed since he became president because of the added attention, but that she did not discuss politics with him.

"I’m not into politics, so honestly I can’t even ask him anything," Thompson said.

Thompson is a 10-time winner on the LPGA tour with one major win at the 2014 ANA Inspiration.

Trump has played with other prominent golfers including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Dustin Johnson.

2. Hey, Lexi!

Did you really think that if you played golf with Trump, the world wouldn't notice? So now you have to take a break from social media because the heat is too much for you?

What were you thinking? Or are you a Trump supporting Republican?

You actually sound like you're a bit of a snowflake.

Too bad. I've admired your golf game. Your personal choices, not so much.

3. "I'm not into politics ..."

You deserve all the shit you get, Lexi, you fucking moron. We as a nation cannot survive if our citizens are not "into politics".

[PJMcK]

4. Everything with every politician is about politics

Lexi is a bit naive if she thinks otherwise.

I'm actually surprised she's so sensitive that she can't take the heat. She's really tough under the pressure of a golf tournament.

Just another pampered snowflake, I guess.

5. If I did something that was deserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom

I would not accept it from Trump

7. Anybody that does business w/ rump will suffer the consequences...rump is damaged goods, and...

is as un-presidential as one can get. As to the backlash, what else does the Thompson / trump idiots expect? By playing w/ rump, she in effect, supporting rump in his role as play acting being president.

rump is a fake president who won by cheating and via his Russian buddies helping him win and needs to be hauled out of office via impeachment or hit with criminal charges. Otherwise, why is Barr defending his massive cover up of the Mueller report and attachments? Obviously there is some serious crap within those redacted pages and attachments (and Mueller agrees too!).

9. "He treats us amazing."

I hope this dipshit is taking a break from social media so she can go learn how to speak proper English.

10. There's a humorous ditty about a drunk person who lays down

in a gutter with a pig. A passing person says that you can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses, "so the pig got up and slowly walked away." You can go to this link to read the original lyric.
