I was making a point with MGOP. He is carrying on like the all Trump has done since he was president was play golf and he isn't even president yet. It's a good indicator of how desperate some are for something to bitch about.

I don't think he knows the definition of the word. It's impossible for Trump to be a hypocrite for saying Obama plays too much golf as president. He would have to be President and then play at least as much golf as Obama did.

I think the real objective is to call Trump a hypocrite, and hope no one will pick up on the deception. Standard left wing MO.

Doubtful, most leftists don't seem to give a crap about golf.

Does it have anything to do with a sig other who is none too pleased with how much this all costs?

No, because she plays golf too, so she's either with me, or I have permission...lol. I pretty much have total freedom to play any golf course I want.

You don't get how Trump is a hypocrite? He is being featured on the largest golf magazine in the country, perhaps the world as Golfer-in-Chief and then he said he won't play golf as President, and that Obama played too much golf. That spells hypocrite right?

The whole golf thing is stupid, but that said.
How many rounds of golf has Trump played since he's been President?

Attacking Obama for golfing was idiotic and so is attacking Trump for a Golf magazine deciding to do a story about him.

Well- we have bipartisan agreement! I knew Trump would be a uniter not a divider.

Didn't Trump criticize Obama for playing too much golf? I guess this doesn't count if you own the golf courses too huh?

No MSM has picked this up yet. I assume they will in a few hours. I really am concerned about obvious hypocrites like him.

I think for the claim of hypocrite to work you will have to 1) establish that Trump criticized Obama for playing too much golf, 2) establish Trump's golf-playing frequency and 3) establish that Trump plays as much golf as Obama while in office.

I mean, I can say that Michael Moore eats too many donuts while enjoying the occasional donut without being a hypocrite.

Trump isn't president yet, so its a bit too early to call him a hypocrite. We will have to wait to see how much golfing he does.

What are you complaining about, first Trump is not the president yet. Second you sure didn't bitch about all the time Obama played golf and while James Foley was beheaded.

Yeah, my point exactly. I guess one could call it "preemptive hysteria".
 
Correcting a typo:

Bush gave up golf while president and NONE of them vacationed in Hawaii every year

They never squawked when Bushy played golf and pretended to use a chainsaw. So, I imagine the chief executive playing golf will be good again now that a Goper is president.

Every president takes vacations and engage in some form of entertainment whether it be golf, working on the ranch, painting, etc. What pisses you off is this time it's a democrat doing it and you're triggered.

To be honest, I don't feel that presidents take vacations at all. When they are away from the White House they are surrounded by staff and never more than seconds away from communications.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...68a320a60ce_story.html?utm_term=.e95b535ea776

“Presidents don’t get vacations — they just get a change of scenery,” Nancy Reagan once said in defense of her husband’s frequent trips to his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.

In the nuclear age, presidents may have only minutes to make a decision that could affect the entire world. They don’t so much leave the White House as they take a miniature version of it with them wherever they go. Some 200 people accompany a president on vacation — including White House aides, Secret Service agents, military advisers, and experts in communications and transportation — to ensure that, while on vacation, the president can do nearly everything he could accomplish in Washington.

He continues to receive daily intelligence and national security briefings while on vacation. Presidents also continue to tape weekly radio broadcasts, hold news conferences, attend political fundraisers and occasionally, as Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan did, entertain British royalty.

Vacations don’t stop presidents from making major decisions. For example, Reagan was enjoying a quiet weekend at Camp David when he decided to fire striking air-traffic controllers in 1981.

Don't worry, he'll be gone in a few days. Stay in your safe space until then.

The president should get two weeks paid vacation every year no more

And four state visits overseas

As for campaign fund raisers at taxpayer expense that needs to stop also

Presidents need more time away than that. The stress level is brutal. Have you looked at the pics of presidents at the beginning and end of their terms? They age exponentially.

They should consider that before applying for the job.
