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

In August it was reported Trump took three times as much holiday as Obama during the same period of time into his presidency.
According to an NBC News tracker of the number of days Trump spends on his golf courses, October 22 marked the 75th day of Trumps 279 day presidency spent playing golf. That means that Trump has played golf on average every 3.7 days.

(11,686 posts)2. Last month ( the beginning of it ) I did a little math when I saw how many actual
days he golfed. Well, back then if you added it together he has been golfing for 2 and a half months. Now, that was the beginning. I am sure it has gone up to 3 months or maybe a little more. I take how many months he has been president and subtract the months he has been golfing and take that out of the count of him being president. What is that now? Six or seven months on the actual job. Oh, lets not forget the man watches a lot of TV and tweets a lot. Any math whiz's want to add up all of the tweets he has done since being a so called president and see how many days he has wasted there also?

That has to take time.
The latest was with Dobbs. It was bizarre and frightening.
