“That White House is a real dump,” the US president said when asked about his frequent visits to his golf clubs, in an interview with a golfing news site. @lachlan reported: “Trump explaining to several club members why he frequently visits [his golf clubs]: ‘That White House is a real dump.’” @Jessicahus­eman tweeted: “Imagine for a single second if Obama had called the White House a ‘real dump’.’ Former First Daughter @Chelseacli­nton supported White House staff: “Thank you to all the White House ushers, butlers, maids, chefs, florists, gardeners, plumbers, engineers & curators for all you do every day.” @Joyannreid added: “Remember when Republican­s got mad at Barack Obama for not wearing a tie in the Oval? The current occupant thinks the White House is a ‘dump’.”

#PRINCEPHIL­IP

The Duke of Edinburgh met Royal Marines in what was his final official engagement before retiring from royal duties. @Mike_fabricant tweeted: “At 96 and after over 22,000 engagement­s, I wish HRH Prince Philip well in his retirement. Political correctnes­s: thy name is not Philip.” @kcrewders added: “Er so, if I’m still working at 96 I’ll be mad!” @garrie_coleman said: “Not a fan of monarchy but as far as Prince Philip concerned, Duke of Edinburgh Award a brilliant, inclusive way of broadening kids’ horizons.” @ben_furnival wrote: “Last day for Prince Philip. Well done and thank you sir for a lifetime of service and support for our monarch. Done with modesty and a smile.” @Skipdonahu­e reflected: “One of my biggest disappoint­ments was achieving the bronze Duke of Edinburgh award only to have it presented to me by Brian May. Ridiculous”

#IAMBOLT

The documentar­y I Am Bolt on BBC One inspired thousands to pay their tributes to the world’s fastest man. @Leehughes2 tweeted: “The gap in athletics when this guy retires is going to be immense. He is athletics.” @ellygriffi­ths said: “Proof that you can laugh your way to greatness. Wonderful stuff.” @Sonjamclau­ghlan pointed out: “Watching this you realise how hard he grafts in training”
