It is very possible that DoD/CIA influenced the potus to make a very public spectacle (out playing golf) of himself while the operation was in progress. It is the opposite of what a normal POTUS would do, and it has the second advantage of getting him away from effective communications so that the operation can be completed without interference, unlike Carter and the Hostage Rescue attempt in '79
“It is the opposite any POTUS would do”.
So if everything else the Grand Zero does.
