Trump Throws A Fit After Getting Busted For Playing Nearly 3 Times More Golf Than Obama

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Obama made 102 trips to the golf course, while Trump has made 276 trips to the golf course as president, with the vast majority of those trips being to Trump-owned properties, which means that Donald Trump makes money off of the taxpayers while he golfs. The numbers are staggering. Trump has played golf every 4.92 days as president, while Obama golfed an average of every 8.77 days over eight years.

Amid a pandemic, Trump has not slowed down his golfing habit. Trump also has a notoriously light work schedule that usually runs from 11 AM-4 PM, and some of that time has built-in “executive time” which Trump uses for tweeting or talking to his friends on the phone.

So to summarize, the man who has never worked a day in his life continues the pattern.

1. Obama did it better with less practice. He looked better too.

[guillaumeb]

3. In one sense, Trump is twice the President that Obama was.

So he golfs twice as much.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

9. And twice the waist size as well.

Tall and slim Obama is.

[guillaumeb]

13. And, following the law of inverse proportion,

Trump has 1/3 the IQ.

[2naSalit]

20. Or is that waste size?

[Salviati]

29. Well, he's definitely putting out twice the waste...

... Spewing shit from both ends, as it were.

[lastlib]

31. That would be 200x....

He has two portals for waste to pass thru, and they both work at full capacity. Upper and lower.

[Newest Reality]

2. Slacker. Loser. Dead weight. Milking it.

[guillaumeb]

5. A child of privilege and inherited wealth.

Like George W. Bush.

[House of Roberts]

18. The GOP hasn't run anyone who wasn't since Bob Dole.

I hope this finishes that run.

[kairos12]

4. Shitler's schedule: tweets, eats, TeeVee, and Golf.

[guillaumeb]

6. An 11am-4pm work day.

That says it all.

[erronis]

23. Don't forget the hours on the crapper flushing 10-15 times since his budgers won't go down.

I'm sure he has some flunky plunging the crap over and over.

Maybe dump should eat a bit more catsup (vegetable per Reagan) and a bit less gristle and other waste products from the slaughterhouse.

[RKP5637]

7. Trump the loser, can't handle the presidency, so he escapes/runs to his golf course. n/t

[guillaumeb]

8. And overcharges US taxpayers as well. eom

[RKP5637]

10. Yep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! n/t

[EleanorR]

11. And trump is lining his own pockets with taxpayer money each and every trip. nt

[guillaumeb]

15. In my view, that is the only reason he is golfing.

So he can take more money.

[pandr32]

17. Yup

I wish we could sue him.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. It's Debt Service!

Those places are not financial goldmines.
Nothing PINO has ever done became a goldmine.
Those joints were bought/built on borrowed money.
I believe he's using taxpayer money to accelerate debt payments, so debt load goes down.
Even if he's not overcharging, his stupid joints are overpriced and with a presidential entourage the revenue is HIGH!
In 4 years they could accelerate debt repayment, while staying current with interest, at this added amount of revenue, for 6 or 7 years.
Could then refinance at lower principal & rate, and in a couple years, those places might actually turn a profit.
Over this 4 years, without the free $, I'm guessing 30% of costs would have been covered by line of credit cash. If they could find an insurance company to provide one.
We (you, me, & and all the taxpayers) saving those businesses, because ownership can't.
Seems like a conflict of interest to me.

14. I love the latest excuse: "It's my exercise!"

1. Driving a golf cart with one's caddy clinging on for dear life is exercise for this guy. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/506934-trump-defends-golfing-its-my-exercise

2. Trump claimed he would be "working for us" and "wouldn't have time to play golf" as president

[guillaumeb]

16. I love that bottom right GIF.

Yes, surprising no one, Trump lied about not having time to golf.

[Grokenstein]

22. "Exercise"???

Listen, Sloppy, we remember when you needed a golf cart to keep up with actual leaders.

[Hassler]

24. Deadbeat-in-Chief

[struggle4progress]

25. Make Aholes Golf Again

[Firestorm49]

27. Trump quote;

“President Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of golfing. Too little, too late! “

[Nevilledog]

28. ...

[George II]

30. You'd think trump would be a little slimmer with all that exercise.

[guillaumeb]

38. Sadly enough, he might be.

A pound or 2.

[smirkymonkey]

47. God, he's disgusting.

No wonder he's so jealous of Obama. He's just a lazy, slovenly, ignorant pig.

[dflprincess]

32. I gather the 102 is in the same period.

I verbally slapping a Trumpet recently about golfing and 303 or 339 as the total times Obama golfed over all 8 years.

So in just 3-1/2 years Spanky us closing in on Obama's total. And Obama often used the course at Andrews Air Force Base so there were no extra security costs.

[JHB]

35. Yes, the 102 is Obama's count at the equivalent point in his presidency...

...from the inauguration on Jan. 20, 2009 thru mid-July 2012.

All his outings are listed at https://trumpgolfcount.com/displayobamaoutings

[avebury]

33. "I play fast"

It is easy to play fast when you cheat at the game.

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Weak Headline/Poor Article

276 times in 42 months is not 3x more golf than 102 times in 96 months.
PINO is playing every 4.63 days. Not sure how they got 4.92. 1778 days in 42 months 1278÷276 = 4.63
Obama played every >28 days. 8 years x 365 days ÷ 102 =28.63.
I have no idea how they got that number of 8.77. 276÷102x4.92 is not 8.77. So that's not it.
And if they used the same time in office as total number of days, they would have gotten 13.3.
So, the PINO number is too high, the Obama number is imaginary, and the headline is wrong.
PINO is playing more the FIVE TIMES the golf. Not almost three.

[JHB]

36. 102 is the count through equivalent time in office

Obama's total number of golf rounds over 8 years was 332 or 333, depending on which golf-tracker source one uses.

https://presidentialgolftracker.com/barackobama/

https://trumpgolfcount.com/displayobamaoutings

[ProfessorGAC]

37. If True...

...the article is still flawed
I read the article. It doesn't specify any periods of time for either president.
If they did as you suggest, that should have been made abundantly clear. In fact, it should have been a point of emphasis.
And, 276 ÷ 102 x 4.92 is still not 8.77.

[Srkdqltr]

39. Doesn't matter... no matter how you parse it, Obama was better.

[JHB]

40. ok, but I did verify it was true

https://trumpgolfcount.com/displayobamaoutings lists each outing. I took the total count and subtracted the number later than mid-July 2012. I was left with 102.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. I Trust You!

But the article is still screwed up.
2.7 times 4.9 is not 8.8.

[JHB]

45. Yes. The 8.8 comes from the total count over 8 years

Using the 102 count and the number of days from Obama's inauguration through this part of his first term (1272 days) puts his average at a round of golf every 12.5 days. Trump's rate is 2.5 times higher.

Jason Easley needs some basic lessons on how to report numbers without muddling them. And PoliticusUSA needs better editors, who should catch stuff like this.

[ProfessorGAC]

46. Same Page

[guillaumeb]

41. I cannot argue with your math, but Trump's golf covers 4 years,

versus 8 for Obama.

[Blue_true]

42. Pure laziness on Trump's part. He isn't remotely suited for the job of president of the USA. nt

[guillaumeb]

43. He does not have the intelligence, or the self-awareness of his lack.

PLus he is only doing this for the money and perceived power.

President Obama's Golf, which really was exercise, was over 8 years, of course, and Stupid Lying trump hasn't even finished 4 years.

50. Trump is counting on the stupidity of many of his voters,

and their racism.

Plus, we know that Trump cheats at golf, among other things.
