Never have gotten the opposing party's fascination with how much golf the president plays...been going on (both sides) for as long as I have been following politics lol.

Personally I DO NOT CARE...on either side LOL. I have done quite a bit of work from the golf course in my past, and I do not golf more than 5 times per year....amazing what the smart phone has done for "leisure time".

What's the obsession with Obama and basketball? Who cares? Everyone has their own interests and hobbies, even presidents.

Just exposing the hypocrisy. The right was literally losing its head over Obama's golf time. Now, with Trump already having played more golf in his first year than Obama did in all his 8 years, it's crickets...

Donald Trump in 2012:
" Who else could take 16 vacations, play over 100 rounds of golf and hold over 300 fundraisers while serving as POTUS besides @BarackObama--"

Well it seems many had an issue with Obama playing golf and trump said he would not be spending his time playing golf and has actually spent more than double the time on the course as Obama did, so if people call him on it and the money it costs the tax payers it is their prerogative.

Tons of people suddenly don't care about golf or amounts of vacation, not even about whether or not the individual golfing is enriching his businesses by doing so.

Ah well...

Did not care about Obama's basketball (or golf) either...again, both sides have "lost their head" over the opposition presidents' leisure habits since I have followed politics, which has been over 30 years now.

There is hypocrisy on all sides of everything politics....it is all relative to who is in control of the executive position at the time of the criticism LOL...

During his first year in office, Trump played more golf than most people on the PGA Tour.
 
I think its perfectly fine to care if your president is taking an obscene amount of vacations or golf trips. Especially if hes costing the tax payers millions of dollars a month to do so. I also think its perfectly fine to comment on the absolutely ridiculous hypocrisy of the sitting President who spent 4 years griping on record about Obama playing golf and then proceeded to play more rounds of golf in his first few months than Obama did in a year and take weekend trips to resorts he owned while straining the secret service and local police. That should be a bipartisan position.

The anti-Trumpers don't really care about his golfing...any more than they cared about Bush hanging out at his ranch or Obama golfing and playing basketball.

It's just another thing about Trump that they can pump up from a molehill into a mountain.

You have to console yourself with the fact that things would be even worse if he hadn't spent so much time away from his desk. That and him not starting his "working" days till 11am.

Trumps own declarative statements. Simultaneously ... a liar and a hypocrite.

Was meant to get a chuckle.

In reality though, Trump spent 1 of every 3 days at one of his business properties during his first year in office.

The same as the obsession of obama golfing, people live in a first world country and feel they need to complain about something, anything they feel is wrong or they disagree with, in a third world country they complain the govt squandered resources to build a palace and sold the countries food for weapons, while in america we whine about how often the president golfs.

I can't decide if you are woefully ignorant politically, or just a troll. Do a Google search for Trump's negative/insulting comments on O'bama's golfing and then ask your question again.
 
As long as the economy improves, unemployment continues to decline, and the country prospers he can golf every freakin' day as far as I'm concerned.

The inability to not grasp the flaming hypocrisy of conservatives who obediently whined about President Obama playing golf is a condition that may require professional help. Its just like deficits, you and yours obediently foamed at the mouth about deficits for 8 years under President Obama and now magic presto don't care. And just like the flaming hypocrisy concerning deficits, the flaming hypocrisy of playing golf is not a "both sides do it" thing. Its only a conservative thing.

that's probably why everything is improving. Since the moron does nothing but golf, he doesn't have the time to screw anything up.

The left feels they have to whinge about DJT and golf because people did it to BO. Very childish.

Personally BO being out their golfing was a good thing. He couldn't screw something up.

Agreed. We are much safer with him pretending to be a good golfer instead of him pretending to be a "Super Genius" POTUS.

So, you are honestly trying to tell us that there is no hypocrisy in Trump blasting O'bama for playing too much golf, then doing more of it himself?

Shame on them "lefties" for calling a "lying hypocrite" a "lying hypocrite". They should know better. Then again, maybe Trump can stop lying and being a hypocrite and the whole country will be better off.

You don't understand golfers if you have to ask this question.

Golfers are like fishermen, hunters, and collectors.

It becomes more of a passion over time.

I used to play golf 6-7 days a week before my right eye went bad. Before work, after work, and all weekend.
