Donald Trump is one to share his thoughts about, well, everything. The president is frequently giving hot takes on his views on things. And of course, he had some thoughts about Tiger Woods and his plea deal.

Woods lost his license for five years in a suspension. Trump thinks he should get a driver.
"What do you think about the plea deal down in Florida today? Tiger Woods, who famously called you as he was being arrested, has agreed to have a suspended driver's license for five years," a reporter asked the president.
Trump praised Woods as a golfer and as a person.
"I know Tiger very well; he's a great guy," Trump said. "He's unique in so many ways, especially as an athlete but also as a man."
Trump Speaks About Tiger Woods
However, he noted that Woods has been in a lot of pain lately.
"He suffers great pain," he continued. "It's a very tough situation because they didn't find alcohol on him; he didn't test positive at all for alcohol. Because of his horrible back, in my opinion a bad doctor, but he had a back operation that did not work out well. It's a tough deal when you're taking a pain killer because you're in pain...I thought it was very fair."
Trump has a solution for Woods now that he doesn't have a license. It is one that Trump suggested to him a long time ago. He suggested that Woods hire a driver so he himself is not behind the wheel of a vehicle.
"I think he's gonna have somebody drive him," he added. "I told him that a long time... Why don't you get somebody to drive you, so he's gonna have somebody drive him from now on."
Woods changed his plea from not guilty to no contest on September 2. He previously crashed his car on March 27. It was just the latest in a long history of car-related incidents. Woods' DUI charge was reduced to reckless and careless driving charges.
He also has to pay a $1,000 fine.
Trump is famously dating Vanessa Trump.
