We’ve seen a couple of these posts flying around comparing what Joe Biden did on Memorial Day weekend vs. President Trump:

For starters, President Trump did go golfing on Saturday and Sunday, but was at Arlington and Fort McHenry on Memorial Day:

Biden looks like he went to a neighbor's funeral https://t.co/f7YQeg5cdl

For the blue-checks who missed it:

Earlier in the day, Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and Defense Secretary Mark Esper laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.https://t.co/OSXhyqQIS0

And for comparison purposes. . .

Memorial Day in 2015 was on May 25. This means, Joe Biden was playing golf with Barack Obama on Memorial Day weekend in 2015. Just like President Trump did this year:

But it’s different when President Trump does it?

Obama includes Vice President Biden in regular golf game. http://t.co/pV2aHUdDba
