So I ask myself a question, "how much money is racism worth for bigots?"

Apparently they prefer racism over $102 million. I wonder how much can they deem ok as long as they can keep being racist?

But the dems wasted 40 million on their evil agenda against the impeccable Donald which caused so much stress the needed to golf that much to maintain his mental health and continue being the greatest president ever.

What does this have to do with racism? Also, Trump's visits to golf courses are primarily for diplomatic purposes. They aren't vacations.

See, the price of racism.

If one day their precious orange woke up and gave temporary visas to dreamers and let some refugees in, SUDDENLY his golf expenses would be an issue.

inb4 "He's doing business deals"

All the while having no proof of this, while simultaneously not giving Obama the same benefit of the doubt during his presidency.

I mean each day he spends golfing is one less day he spends fucking things up.

Wanting cheap labour is now the same thing as being pro immigrant. Ok then.

Please correct me if I'm missing something, but this seems to support my comments. Trump had a diplomatic meeting planned, but Ireland wouldn't agree to our terms.

Correct me if I am wrong (I'm British) but isn't the cost of these trips the security needed to keep The President safe?

I don't get the reason to be mad at Trump about this. He enjoys golf so in his free time he goes golfing.

Do people think the President shouldn't get free time? That's absurd to me, everyone needs R'n'R. Important people especially.

You don't want the man who is making some of the most important decisions of the world to be tired, frustrated, overworked and restless.

Isn't Trump going Golfing the same thing as us playing Video Games?

No one really knows.

IIRC I think Reagan had to sell his business or it was another President.

The issue is that he's going to HIS resorts, so tax payer money is going into HIS pockets when he goes.

Then toss in the obvious hypocritical nature of it in him and the right in general losing their absolute shit over Obama golfing while Donnie has been doing it MORE after saying he'd barely even have time to golf and would rarely leave the White House.

Carter was the most recent. Had to sell off his peanut farm. You know, like normal people should be doing when they become president.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or purposely playing as if you haven't been paying attention but I'll answer. Trump and a lot of Obama haters criticized him for his vacations and golf trips, yet Trump has spent more money and time doing the same thing but his base makes excuses for him. We're just calling out the hypocrisy.

So how much is this compared to other presidents? Is it similar, or is he being way too indulgent to the point of exceeding the other presidents' leisure activities many times over?

I recall him rapidly exceeding Obama's pace within his first year. I don't know the amount currently.

@byron I forgot about that. Heineken covered that too.

When Trump was at 437 days in office, he had spent 140 days at Trump properties, and 105 days at golf properties. Back in August 2017, The Washington Post compared how many vacation days Trump had taken so far, compared to Obama. By our count, by the end of August, Trump will have spent all or part of 53 days in office at leisure, says The Post. Whats more, Trump will have played at least 33 rounds of golf.

The Post reported that at the same point in his presidency, Obama had taken 15 days of vacation (compared to Trumps 53). Additionally, Obama had played nearly half the rounds of golf Trump had (17). In total, Obama took 328 vacation days in eight years (this includes 39 visits to Camp David), according to Cleveland.

Again, this is on top of the blatant hypocrisy of Donnie and the right along with the fact that he is directly profiting from his vacations.

There really is no defending this. He's not making "business deals", he's just a lazy sack of shit. No one deserves golfer's elbow more.

Trump is going to Ireland TO GOLF at HIS RESORT.

And then a few days later, while he's there, he's going to meet the PM or whatever. But at the time, Ireland had no plans for Trump to meet anyone when he booked his vacation.

I'm confused.

Isn't the cost of the money his secret service?

IF the problem is he using his resorts as diplomatic meets and as a result funneling money back into himself, what's the relevance of the 102 million dollars?

He could be playing Golf in Japan and it'd still cost $102 million dollars for his security.

Then toss in the obvious hypocritical nature of it in him and the right in general losing their absolute shit over Obama golfing while Donnie has been doing it MORE after saying he'd barely even have time to golf and would rarely leave the White House.

Tribal people are hypocrites sadly :(

Trump spent 8 years railing Obama and pretending he was African so he should be impeached. Now calls harrasment when people show evidence that he commited crimes...

Crazy
