President Donald Trump endorses Tiger Woods, son's ex-wife Vanessa's relationship

President Donald Trump gave a positive reaction to Tiger Woods dating his son’s ex-wife. While speaking to reporters on Monday, Trump was asked about the golf superstar and Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa, being in a relationship.

“Well, I love Tiger and I love Vanessa,” Trump said before sharing his thoughts on Don Jr. and Vanessa’s relationship, per TMZ Sports. “They had a great relationship. I happen to think their relationship with my son … I happen to think their relationship was hurt very badly by the witch hunt that went on. Russia, Russia, Russia and all the crap that they put Don through, who knew nothing about it.”

Trump added, “But Vanessa and Don had a very good relationship. They have incredible children, five incredible children, all good athletes, all great students. They broke up quite a while ago, which to me was very sad.”

Donald Trump then went back to his thoughts on Tiger Woods, saying that he talked to him about dating Vanessa. Trump told reporters, “I’m very happy for both, let them both be happy. They’re both great.”

Tiger Woods confirms relationship with Vanessa

Earlier in March, Woods confirmed his relationship with Vanessa on social media. He said, “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts.”

Tiger Woods’ relationship is a bright spot in what has been a challenging year. Earlier this month, the 15-time major champion announced he had undergone surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg and will be out of action for the foreseeable future.

“As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be ruptured,” Woods posted on social media at the time. “This morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon repair for a ruptured tendon.

“‘The surgery went smoothly, and we expect a full recovery,’ added Dr. Stucken. Woods then said, “I am back home now and plan to focus on my recovery and rehab, thank you for all the support.”
