...which would normally elicit a hardy "who gives a shit" from me, but the bloated orange meat dirigible made such a big deal out of it during his campaign, and even promised voters that he "wouldn't have time" to hit the links if elected.
The numbers so far Trump - 6 rounds in a month Obama - 306 rounds in eight years
What a hypocritical, lying sack of excrement.

(82,849 posts)Last weekend, the Trump team completely blocked the media from tagging along with Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Abe during their round of golf. There was heavier security for the golf than there was later in the day when the news came down that North Korea had launched a test missile, and everyone got together in the Mar-A-Lago dining room to hash out an official reaction.
I'm guessing that President Trump cheats his ass off, and nobody calls him on it because you don't offend the owner of the club. Sort of like how nobody - not even Lance Armstrong - was supposed to get out in front of George W. Bush on his bicycle rides.
