He probably has but I personally do not care. He deserves some crap for giving Obama shite about golfing though

I'd have to look at the support/authority for this assertion. Is there perhaps a link to consult?


www.google.com is always a good place to start for these sorts of things. Here's the first link that came up.

There are many other sites you can choose at your leisure.

Trump and his Twitter account beat the mediots of the MSM and their 24/7 fake news and absurd views.

November 3rd is coming.

The reason it immediately strikes me as questionable is because Obama didn't own the resorts he and family would have patronized. Thus his own room or suite or whatever would have generated a nightly fee, just as you and I would have, per night cost. I just can't believe that Trump would be charging himself those per night fees at his own joint. I can't remember where, but I recall reading some time back that the Trump administration is charged actual cost only for their stays at Trump properties. As in say, the charge for a coke is exactly what it costs the property to begin with. And of course this is not to say that Trump's stays don't produce a hefty bill, but with striking the profit over cost, it's gotta be a much lower bill than Obama or whoever else would produce.

We could say the same about President Obama but we have never been given a chance to find out. He has been fawned over by the media from the start of his Presidential campaign until now.

Give it a rest baw. He is what he is. A brash New Yorker.

I ain't wasting my time pouring over estimations and extrapolations by sources like Forbes who it's no secret don't care too much for President Trump. GAO as well.....estimations. I ain't estimating anything, don't care if it ends up being favorable or unfavorable for the President.

Yeah but Obama wasn’t morbidly obese so he could play more often for longer and probably better. He could probably tilt back a beer with one hand while doing it as well.

If only he spent time doing the important things like going on wokecenter to release his March Madness bracket or having Beyonce over for dinner like Black Jesus

No one complained more about Obama playing golf than Trump. He tweeted tons of times about how Obama played tons of golf and how he wouldn’t have time if he was president. Of course, he has played a ton more than Obama at the same point of his presidency.


No matter who is president their political opponents attack how they spend leisure time. It’s so petty and tired. People complained MV was too white, the ranch was too redenck, and hunting was inhumane. Petty attacks.

Has he?

All I've seen is CNN equate "time at a resort he owns that also has a golf course" = "playing golf".

While there's certainly overlap between the two, we don't know to what extent.

Not sure we can chalk this up to an "Of course" level of claim.

The bigger problem is that Trump has spent 369 days so far at a Trump-branded property.

He's cost US taxpayers 137 million dollars so far golfing. [source]

Do Trump supporters really not see any problem with that?

The Secret Service is an expensive team to operate.

Maybe? What's the typical cost of the Secret Service over a ~4 year period of time while past Presidents travel around? If it's somewhere in that neighborhood this seems to be business as usual and typical progressive bitching.

It is a shame that he has to fight those corrupt, bought-and-paid-for bastards by himself.

There are millions of us who speak out in support of him every day, but our voices go largely unheard. Social media censors and smothers our voices, and the few honest forums are subpar. Parler makes me feel like I'm in a forest all by myself. Totally disconnected.

We have to keep speaking up, though. They can hide our contributions much of the time, but they can't control our effort or our resolve to NEVER GIVE UP.

Not really. Obama didnt do frickall for 8 years. Accomplished NOTHING. Obama spent 8 years ruining healthcare and apologizing to every country in the world. That's it.

I'm the boss where I work. You know what I LOVE? When my employees work hard then take time off to do whatever the hell they want. Paid vacation is great.

A great quote from the owner of the company I work for: "I don't give a damn where our sales guys are as long as they're hitting their number"

1. You don't know the weight limit for 'morbidly obese.'
2. Tiger Woods played with both and said Trump was better.

Trump can probably knock out a round in 3 hours since he's likely in the I ly group out there and probably only plays with people who are decent.

I'm jealous.

You don't really understand how golf works do you?

Hint: The higher number of strokes doesn't win.
