Golfer-In-Chief: Trump Has Now Spent 27% Of His Presidency On A Golf Course

While millions of Americans from Puerto Rico to California "burn" the Dotard "fiddles.

Source: PoliticusUSA, by Sean Colarossi


According to pool reports, for the second weekend in a row, Donald Trump departed the White House on Saturday morning to take another taxpayer-funded trip to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia.

The report also added that Trump’s new best friend, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, was also accompanying the president – after the GOP senator lied this week about Trump shooting 73 “in windy and wet conditions.”

As the NBC News tracker calculates, Trump’s latest visit to his club in Virginia marks the 72nd day of his presidency he is spending on a golf course and the 92nd time day he is visiting one of his own properties. In total, Trump has been in office for 267 days.

According to some quick, back-of-the-napkin math, that means that Trump has spent 27 percent of his presidency golfing and more than a third at one of his ritzy properties.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are now at risk of seeing their health care obliterated, Puerto Rico continues to recover from a devastating storm, the Iran nuclear agreement has been abandoned by the U.S., California wildfires are still raging – and, by the way, there have been no steps taken by the White House or Congress to prevent another Las Vegas-style mass shooting from happening again.

Given how absolutely terrible he is at being president, paying him to be on the golf course is perhaps a good investment.
