Saturday marked the 158th time the 45th President of the United States has made a visit to the golf course since his inauguration.
Wearing his glasses as he left the White House, Trump hit the golf course just hours before one of his favorite things: A planned campaign rally in West Virginia.
Remember when Trump said this in August, 2016:
“If I win I may never see my property — I may never see these places again. But because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks.”
Yes, believe him.
Any president is entitled to a little relaxation, but c’mon. It’s time to point out the hypocrisy here.
Between 2011 and 2016, Trump tweeted at least 27 complaints, jokes, or scoldings about Barack Obama playing golf while president.
Like this one where he complained: “We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.”
We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.

Today, American taxpayers paid for Trump’s travel so he could fundraise after he played golf.
Then he suggested a president is too busy to golf:
Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 14, 2014
And he mocked Obama for golfing:
President Obama played golf yesterday???
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 18, 2013
Then he suggested Obama do this:
Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

If only Trump would listen to Trump.
He also ridiculed Obama’s golf and vacation time:
@BarackObama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha’s Vineyard. Nice work ethic.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2011
For the record, Trump has golfed and vacationed more than any other president his first two years on the job.
Fore!
There is 356 days in a year. 185 is about half a year. Sorry but nope I actually don’t believe Trump has golfed that many days. Obama would go golfing after shootings and natural disasters. He was also to busy planning his Campaign charity function to worry about Benghazi. He had to get his sleep so he could go to Vegas. Yes that’s why he didn’t get disturbed on that 3am phone call. And why 4 Americans died.
President Trump has golfed 193 times since becoming President, as of June 2, 2019.
The cost of Trump’s golf rounds to the American taxpayer varies by round and course, but it has totaled so far in the tens of millions of dollars.
That’s fact.
356.. Really?
Katterkat:
There are 365 days in a non-leap year.
Trump’s golf outings are not secret, he has golfed that many days whether or not you believe it. It’s public record, your opinion notwithstanding.
His constant golf outings after claiming he would be too busy working to visit his properties is another example of Trump’s hypocrisy. Especially considering how often he criticized Obama for doing less of the same thing.
“For the record, Trump has golfed and vacationed more than any other president his first two years on the job.”
Your man Trump is a world class liar. That and golf are about all he’s good at. Oh yeah, he’s good at kitty grabbing too.
“If I win I may never see my property — I may never see these places again. But because I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks.” DJT Aug 2016 Believe me
This stuff should be on tv so the idiots that voted for him know what bullshitter he is.
You could play the clip when he made that statement on every news show (including FOX) every single day, and he and his Trumpeteers would deny it and call it Fake News.
