Trump comes from a world where the golf course is a place where real business is conducted.
The president of Japan has made multiple trips to Mar A Lago. I'm sure they're not talking about sushi the whole time. I think Trump having his own personal golf course is actually a benefit.

I never questioned Obamas security or vacations while prez. In fact I said he should take as many as he wants and protect him with the full ability of our Secret Svc and military.
Not many libs will concur.

Pathetic, little aggie turd burgler poo stabbing butt pirate. Really pathetic. Try harder.
You are deranged. Did you actually attend A&M? Did you graduate? How did you hide your filthy lecherous and traitorous ways while a student there? You must have been a "bottom" for their male cheerleaders.

Obama was traveling oversees not playing golf which costs taxpayer about 5 times as much. Obama spent 218 days of his term oversees.

Impressive since we haven’t been A country for 334 years

We have seen this thread before, usually their numbers don’t take in to account Camp David trips
Trump prefers Mar A Lago to Camp David, so what

Trump's 248 golf outings so far are far more than Obama's 92 by this point in his term.
Got some actual evidence to back these numbers up? Or are you just pulling them out of your arse?

What? You want to go back to Jimmy Carter wearing sweaters, freezing his arse off in the Whitehouse, driving around in beige-colored Lincolns while interest rates are +20%?...

Before reading the thread, I’m guessing “but Obama.”

Is Trump not supposed to visit his home?

Trump owns the golf courses he plays at and lives at Mar a Lago. Obama owned none of the golf courses he played and used the presidency to play his own personal dream tour.
Counting rounds of golf Trump plays at his residences is bullshite and you know it.

Just think what the dollar total will be by the end of his third term!

If he does this well playing this amount of golf, it only makes sense that if he were to double his playing time.....then double the success elsewhere. I say go for it, bossman!!

Obama outnumbered Bush in golf trips like 300 to 20
When Republicans brought it, they were told "who gives a shite"
I'm going to apply that same line of thinking here

Remember when we picked up the tab for Obama's drughead daughter, Malia, to go on Spring Break?
Malia Obama’s Trip to Mexico: $115,500.87
Remember when Mooch and her ghetto arse mother took luxurious vacations on the taxpayer dime? With Queen Mom even dragging along her friends?
Remember when Queen Robinson had to be called down by presidential aides in China? Called down before she created an international incident for treating hotel staffs absolutely horribly?

Just a quick update, as you organize to file your income taxes, on the Obama family's lavish travel expenses that your money is underwriting. Financing might be a better word.
Barack and Michelle Obama have traveled more than any other first couple -- doing Spain, Africa, China, South America, among other distant spots. Often they're accompanied by friends and Michelle Obama's Mom, Marian Robinson, who's been living in the White House at taxpayer expense since her son-in-law's inauguration. And in some cases, Mrs. Robinson's friends tag along.
By one accounting, as of last July the Obamas had spent more than $44.4 million in taxpayer money on travel for 31 international trips lasting 119 days. For comparison, at the same point in his presidency Ronald Reagan had made 14 trips lasting 73 days.
You may recall Michele Obama's controversial trip with friends to Spain's luxury Costa del Sol in 2010 at a time when the U.S. unemployment rate was 9.5% on the way to 9.8%. And President Obama's $1 trillion economic stimulus package had yet to kick in. Of course, it's still yet to kick in.
According to numbers gathered by Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates government corruption, that trip cost Americans at least $468,000.
Turns out, by Obama administration standards that was a bargain tour.
Mrs. Obama's latest foreign junket this month was to Japan and Cambodia, allegedly to promote an Agency for International Development program to encourage education for girls.
On a one-day, side-trip to visit two shrines in Kyoto, including one honoring a god of rice, Michelle Obama's party incurred almost $79,000 in expenses just for rental cars, Judicial Watch reports. That's a lot of tuition for girls! Or boys.
When the Obamas visited Northern Ireland in 2013, Michelle Obama took her daughters on a two-day, side-trip to Dublin. That side-trip alone cost U.S. taxpayers a quarter-million dollars, including a $3,300-a-night hotel suite of the sort Mrs. Obama prefers. The Obamas' Ireland trip set us back just under $8 million.
Dublin rental cars alone for the first lady cost $114,000.
In 2014 when Mrs. Obama, her mother and daughters toured China, she stayed in Beijing's Westin Hotel in a suite costing you $8,400 per night. Previously, that price was deemed too expensive for Vice President Joe Biden to use.
However, JB does OK. On a European jaunt two years ago Biden and his unusually large entourage had a hotel bill in London of $460,000 for one night.
The next night in Paris, the vice presidential party -- and we do mean party -- ran up one-night hotel charges of $585,000.50. Now, that's a lot of mini-bar items and in-room movies.
Oh, and both those government hotel contracts were done on a no-bid basis, eliminating messy competition and cost-cutting. Can we afford these last 666 days?
