Mainecat Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Trump's aides don't want to admit the President is golfing Source: CNN President Donald Trump has made visiting his Florida golf courses a near every-weekend habit in the first month of his administration, and his aides are trying to obscure whether Trump is actually golfing during the visits. One possible reason: Trump was a frequent and vocal critic of President Barack Obama's golf habit, regularly slamming the former president for playing golf with many pressing issues before the country. Trump even suggested during a 2016 event in Virginia, in a knock on Obama, that if elected he was "not going to have time to go play golf." -snip- Confronted by McIlroy's comments about playing 18 holes with the President, Sanders said the President "intended to play a few holes and decided to play longer." -snip- "Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the US, President Obama spent the day playing golf," Trump tweeted in October 2014. "Worse than Carter." Read more: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/20/politics/donald-trump-golfing-presidency/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02sled Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I could be mistaken but didn't Obama tend to play golf etc. on a weekday while Trump is doing it on the weekend and isn't Trump also working before and after the golf game. It seems he may have accomplished more in 1 month than Obama did in one year. Just like in business the proactive innovative leader gets noticed. The one that maintains status quo and coasts just maintaining what was already in place doesn't get much attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted February 21, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have no problem being critical of Trump on this. If he is golfing a bunch its being hypocritical in his comments on Obama. Now the pictures I've seen of him with the different people he has played with all have him dressed in the same outfit so the question remains how much he already has played vs how many different people joined him in that time.
