Trump, who scorned Obama's golf habits, outpacing him in rounds

[spanone]

Palm Beach, Florida (CNN)President Donald Trump is well outpacing his predecessor on the green, making his 16th visit to one of his eponymous golf courses since taking office as he marks the end of another weekend at his Florida getaway.

Trump was spotted Sunday driving a golf cart and making a putt at his Trump International Golf Course -- the only sign of his activities at the facility since his handlers have declined to detail what he's doing inside the private establishment.

President Barack Obama, also an avid golfer, waited months before playing a round when he first entered office. His first documented golf outing came April 26, 2009, just shy of the 100-day mark in his presidency.

He later quickened his pace, racking up 333 rounds of golf over his two terms in office, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS News reporter and unofficial presidential historian.

1. But Obama played most of his golf at the Naval Base Course near DC

Costing us way less money than Dump.

2. I wonder how many Dickhead has played?

Even if it's only 9 rounds per visit, the puts him near the 150 mark. Lazy POS.

4. I don't care if he plays golf. It's the hypocrisy about Obama and sneaking

around to do it, saying he's is meetings, and he's photographed on the course that pisses me off.

5. They don't care. They really don't.

6. Yes, trump the Lying Fucking Hypocrite strikes again.. in

all his Stupidity..

[Warpy]

7. Expect it to keep increasing because it's something he knows he can do

I think it's finally dawning on him slowly that he doesn't know as much about running a country as he thought he did (although he will never admit it and never take advoce from anyone else) and he doesn't like how that makes him feel. Golf, he can do.

8. Out pacing by nearly double at current pace....

Obama: 333 into 8 years is roughly 42 rounds per year.
42 into 52 is roughly 1.2 or every 8.4 days a round of golf.

Trump: 16 rounds in 79 days is 4.9 or one round every 5 days.

I don't have a problem with a president recreating with golf.

I do have a problem with him profiting with tax money while doing it. Since he recreates at courses he owns, eats/stays at properties he owns, then it stands to reason he's making money while recreating on the tax payer dime. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!

His actions speak loud and clear: he has no issue with his businesses collecting fees/profiting from housing/feeding his security, which is paid for with tax monies. Yet he expects tax payers to be fine with eliminating/cutting the very funds that feed, house, administer health care and general safety care for poor/disabled elderly. AND says the voters told him this is what they want when they voted him in!

He obviously won't use a course near the white house thereby forcing that total cost on society. If there were no course close to the WH, it would make sense he visit his in Florida.

Regardless, the costs incurred for travel/security/meals and incidentals add up. He's on track to incur these costs 292 times in 4 years. All while he wants to cut housing assistance/food assistance/medical assistance for thousands of elderly, poor and disabled.

How can this not be against the law?
