Chelsea Clinton criticized President Trump after a report that members of his White House team could not reach him over the weekend while he was golfing.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Clinton linked to a report from NBC News, which stated that the White House team repeatedly failed to get hold of the president while he was golfing on Sunday. The White House team was trying to address a “five-alarm fire” sparked by Trump’s retweet of a clip that included a voter shouting, “White power.”
“In the mid ‘90s when I needed to reach my dad, I’d walk to the pay phone outside my high school, drop in change, dial the @WhiteHouse operator and then be connected. Wherever he was. The President is always reachable if he or she cares to be,” Clinton tweeted.

Trump removed the tweet that featured the “white power” remark on Sunday. The White House said that the president did not hear the man’s remarks and had only retweeted the clip because it highlighted the “enthusiasm” of his supporters in Florida.
Clinton became the first daughter just before turning 13 when her father Bill Clinton was inaugurated.
