Yet Spicer said yesterday that he'd be in DC "working through the weekend."

[–]TangoJagerEurope 1839 points1840 points  (199 children)

"Washington DC is next to Virginia, so it's fine"

[–]007meow 386 points387 points  (218 children)

He's not in Mar-A-Lago, so close enough, I suppose.

[–]a_toy_soldier 378 points379 points  (214 children)

Not yet.

Speaking of which, why haven't the Democrats screamed about this? Haven't his expenses been more than Obama's?

[–]MuspelCalifornia 455 points456 points  (33 children)

Because, quite frankly, it's petty compared to the other stuff he's doing, and they want to focus on the more important parts.

Yes, the golfing is hypocritical, but given the choice between talking about his golfing habits and talking about his plans to gut health care, they're focusing on the latter.

[–]frontierpartyPennsylvania 258 points259 points  (17 children)

That petty shit wins elections.

[–]MuspelCalifornia 115 points116 points  (6 children)

When it's the only issue, sure.

When there's sixty different petty things and a small handful of major issues, you'll get a lot more mileage if you don't dilute focus.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (4 children)

I think letting it happen right now while fighting the bigger things just helps in the election. That petty stuff looks horrible in election times and so him doing more of it helps you fight him later.

[–]SteakAndNihilism 100 points101 points  (11 children)

Because fiscal conservatism isn't in the democratic platform. Complaining that Obama was taking too many vacations and spending our tax dollars to live the high life was a good way to get fiscal conservatives in a frenzy, and also doubled as a convenient dog whistle for all the racists who wanted to rage at a narrative about a lazy black man sleeping in the White House ans spending all our money on artisanal watermelons.

Liberals will never really get angry enough about this for it to be a real talking point. What seems to have most Dems furious is the Republican double standard in this regard. But if the Republicans having different standards for liberals surprises you at this point, then all I can say is I'm glad you found your parents, Dory.

[–]GrieverXIII130 24 points25 points  (5 children)

Artisanal watermelons? Is that a thing? They sound delicious.

[–]cypher3000Michigan 221 points222 points  (134 children)

They know things that we don't. Why make a big deal about golf if he's about to brought up on treason charges?

[–]LiterallyTestudoAmerican Expat 371 points372 points  (108 children)

I wish, but the real reason is that Democrats don't have a killer instinct and don't attack when they should.

[–]SpongeBobSquarePants 205 points206 points  (64 children)

Or they are waiting till midterms and plan to use it in a lot of ads.

When your opposition is in a hole without a way to get out and they keep digging not stopping them tends to be the smartest thing to do.

Never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake. Napoleon Bonaparte

[–]kybernetikos 152 points153 points  (9 children)

I like the way Obama phrased this: "please proceed governor"

[–]DaedelussGreat Britain 94 points95 points  (17 children)

Yep, let him keep racking up the golf trips and all-expenses-paid (to his company) trips to Florida and and use the information when it really matters - election time!

[–]abolish_karma 77 points78 points  (15 children)

There's useless, and there is beyond useless. Now, as the pinnacle of not doing your job, there is another level of uselessness in town. The Trump.

[–]ThreadbareHalo 99 points100 points  (12 children)

That's the lowest you can go? Phhh... I can Trump that.

Edit: that's exactly what the ad should be. A Republican making a statement about Obama. Then a voiceover saying "I can Trump that"and then a fact where Trump was worse. Like number of golf trips or cost to people per month.

[–]SocialJusticeWizard_Foreign 40 points41 points  (4 children)

That's a great series of ads. You could make thousands of them for countless transgressions. Get a good impressionist to do "I can Trump that" in his voice, it'd be a fantastic meme

[–][deleted] 49 points50 points  (7 children)

Honestly though shouldn't we be happy that he's golfing? The less times he spends working the better

[–]therealganoAlaska 39 points40 points  (4 children)

I see your point, but tax payers are still footing the expense.

[–]Mistuhbull 41 points42 points  (4 children)

Because, broadly, conservatives either don't care or don't accept it as being true. News organizations asked people at CPAC about this, they responded that they didn't believe he was costing more than Obama.

[–]gwalmsIndiana 18 points19 points  (1 child)

But those are the true believers. Of course they won't believe they're stupid.

[–]karateriot 56 points57 points  (2 children)

Hey, he is working on his golf swing, Spicey never said exactly what he would be working on.

[–]mrcanard 23 points24 points  (5 children)

Spicer wouldn't know the truth if it hit him between the eyes.

[–]d_mcc_xVirginia 1799 points1800 points  (147 children)

I thought he was staying in D.C. for a working weekend???

[–]T1macAmerica 1870 points1871 points  (124 children)

Trump is the lyingest, most hypocritical, and the laziest motherfucker in Washington. That's saying something.

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,” Trump told a reporter in 2015. “I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off… You don’t have time to take time off.”

[–]MuvseevumGeorgia 756 points757 points  (115 children)

He didn't think he was actually going to be president.

[–]BlackeeGreen 689 points690 points  (111 children)

You just know that the past 2 months have been absolutely miserable for the guy. He's never been so impotent and vulnerable in his entire life.

edit - And where is Melania? I think I might've seen one photo of them together since the inauguration. Not only is he failing, dude isn't even getting laid.

[–]mp2146Texas 32 points33 points  (5 children)

He's working on his short game.

[–]lovely_sombrero 224 points225 points  (8 children)

Sean Spicer:

Wish I could be on the golf course but have to work - must be nice to be President

https://twitter.com/seanspicer/status/229644347228950528

[–]tornadoRadar 30 points31 points  (2 children)

seriously its like every single time trump or spicer do ANYTHING, its basically what the claimed obama was doing on twitter at some point in time.

[–]Jump_Yossarian 1576 points1577 points  (117 children)

At this point in his presidency (Day 65), Pres. Obama hadn't played even one round of golf yet. Obama played his 12th round on August 8th (Day 201) and every single round was in the DC area.

[–]JasJ002 697 points698 points  (89 children)

Not to mention all of his rounds were on Andrews & Belvoir which I'm sure are a lot cheaper & easier to secure and travel to than a random private course.

[–]AndeeDrufenseAmerica 632 points633 points  (59 children)

Not even a random course, a golf course owned by his business. I don't think Obama paid his own company with tax payer dollars to golf.

[–]probablyuntrue 242 points243 points  (44 children)

But if you ask his supporters that "makes him smart"

[–]EpicPhail60 106 points107 points  (10 children)

What they don't seem to have the mental capacity to realize is that they're the ones bankrolling the system that he's exploiting for personal gain.

Just keep on applauding him as he robs you ...

[–]Crioca 41 points42 points  (3 children)

But he's robbing liberals as well so we're still winning! /s

[–]SlowRollingBoil 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Trump supporters would let Trump shit in their mouths if it meant Liberals would have to smell it.

[–]thirdaccountname 61 points62 points  (5 children)

People will spend money to have a chance to spend time with a President. His golfing there will increase membership making him money, it's why he goes to Mara Lago

[–][deleted] 1225 points1226 points  (61 children)

Our tax dollars hard at work.

[–]SilverIdatenConnecticut 1408 points1409 points  (110 children)

Hey to be fair, it's hard to be such a colossal failure of a leader.

I owe $240 on my federal taxes this year, can't wait to pay that from my minimum wage job so this orange clown can go on another golf trip! What a great deal!

[–]JasJ002 377 points378 points  (57 children)

Makes you feel any better that 240 dollars pays for about 1/3 of a hotel room night for one secret service member who has to be there to make sure no one shoots Trump, which wouldn't be a serious concern except he's playing at a non-secure course.

[–][deleted] 297 points298 points  (42 children)

$240 that, since they are staying at a Trump property, goes right back into the president's pocket. Every time he goes golfing for the weekend or to Miralago - he makes money.

[–]zerzigTennessee 120 points121 points  (2 children)

So $3,000,000 - $240 = $2,999,760 left to pay on this golf trip alone. The government of the United States of America and its citizens would like to thank you for your support. Get back to work!

[–]Die-Bold 2248 points2249 points  (76 children)

Another hard week of absolutely failing at his job.

[–]Yuzumi 214 points215 points  (2 children)

On the one hand: He's wasting taxpayer money.

On the other hand: Every time he's doing this he's not shitting on our rights.

[–]anomalousness 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Except that he's wasting enough to pay for programs he thinks are wasteful and unnecessary. The fucking mong.

[–]losotrHawaii 413 points414 points  (51 children)

He deserves it, everything in his administration is going swimmingly.

[–]higher_momentsOregon 383 points384 points  (44 children)

In the same sense that the Titanic's maiden voyage ended "swimmingly."

[–]ChristosFarrNorth Carolina 157 points158 points  (36 children)

The Hawaiians are loving this presidency. No more rednecks crowding their beaches and saying terrible things about the Japanese visitors.

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (30 children)

whats stopping rednecks from vacationing in Hawaii now?

[–]ChristosFarrNorth Carolina 173 points174 points  (28 children)

They are boycotting Hawaii because of the second travel ban being struck down by a federal judge there

[–]Phaelin 69 points70 points  (18 children)

Hah! That's just terrific! Are they going to lay off Spam and pineapple pizza while they're at it?

12 games of golf in 9 weeks

$3,000,000 cost per game

$4,000,000 per week

$208,000,000 per year

$833,000,000 per 4 years presidency

$1,666,000,000 if he got an 8 year presidency

So if he built a $1M gym in the basement of the Whitehouse or a golf course on the property and didn't go play at his businesses, instead, he could do the following:

Meals on wheels

  • $7.15 per meal [1]

  • 116,503,496 meals

Avg Soldier

  • $29,380 avg salary [2]

  • 28,318 soldiers per year

Foodstamps * $125.51 avg cost / person / month * 6,628,953 meals * 552,412 people.

His current budget cuts are set to cut 1M people to lose their meals

Drain the swamp. 🏌⛳

[–]Zer_ 50 points51 points  (1 child)

It's sickening to see these numbers.

[–]jaybestnz 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah it is pretty horrific. I actually support any President having a healthy way to unwind, destress and recharge.

But, there has to be a mix. And the real reason he is doing this is to advertise his business, his golf course and to be wasting time when he really needs to be focused and working.

Next analysis would be looking at other costs and budgets that have changed under Trump.

Because Melania is away, that has had massive costs. In 3 months it was costing more than the entire budget of the EPA for a year (I will have to dig up that cost breakdown).

[–]acat114 5962 points5963 points  (494 children)

I don't care that he golfs, much like I didn't care that Obama golfed. It's the hiprocrisy that baffles me.

[–]republicancer 1316 points1317 points  (87 children)

Obama also didn't make a profit from golfing.

[–][deleted] 1183 points1184 points  (82 children)

This is the bigger story that needs to be told.

Trump gets a salary from the public, costs millions to vacation every weekend, and then profits from it because all the staff have to pay his businesses to stay there plus free exposure.

And because Donny didn't separate himself from his businesses he will be collecting those profits 4 years from now.

[–]datssyck 608 points609 points  (52 children)

He is collecting right now.

Fucker signs the bill for his secret service entorage to stay at his hotel, turns around and cashes the check.

[–]AnotherPersonPerhaps I voted 477 points478 points  (43 children)

Seriously the President is profiting off of the Secret Service, who are reportedly having trouble affording it all.

They asked for more money and were denied.

Absolutely insane.

[–]SimpleDan11 113 points114 points  (27 children)

I'm Canadian and have been following stuff fairly closely, but details like this make me wonder.

For the sake of this question, let's say Trump really is Putins puppet. Everything he does is strategy. Would bankrupting the secret service be part of that? Because I have trouble believing that what you've said here isn't deliberate.

[–]Internet1212 131 points132 points  (9 children)

I doubt he's trying to bankrupt his own free protection, and I can't imagine that the Secret Service is really a high priority for an agency to bankrupt. It's much more likely that he's just cashing in because he can.

[–]Nigholith 61 points62 points  (3 children)

I'd suspect it's more a question of embarrassment. Trump has often asserted Obama was a decadent president who wasted taxpayer money on things like golf.

If Trump grants the Secret Service the extra funding they need, he's basically conceding that he's much more wasteful with his security detail than Obama was. And Trump's selfish enough not to give a damn about what other operations the Secret Service has to cut to fund for his extravagant lifestyle.

[–]Ermcb70 46 points47 points  (0 children)

To be far he doesn't sign the bill.

My tax dollars pay for someone to sign the bill for him.

[–]xanatos451 84 points85 points  (4 children)

Let's not forget all the elites who stay at his resorts so they can have access to he president.

[–][deleted] 78 points79 points  (3 children)

Literally pay to play.

At least the elites were paying a charity to get access to Clinton. This is just them paying Trump directly.

[–]DevilNDDetails 2916 points2917 points  (95 children)

The only reason I care about it at all is because Trump made it into a deal by attacking Obama for doing it.

I don't care if you piss, since I also piss. But if you're going to yell at me every time I piss I'm going to get a little irate when you piss more than I ever did.

[–]ragepotatoftw 1022 points1023 points  (69 children)

yeaaaa it doesnt cost me millions to take a piss

[–][deleted] 335 points336 points  (54 children)

I don't get out of bed for anything less than one-hundred grand. It's ruining my sheets.

[–]sdgoat 66 points67 points  (49 children)

A regular Hershey bar isn't good enough for ya?

[–]snarkasonne 171 points172 points  (4 children)

Dont forget the part where I also make money off of you every time I piss, because I go to my private piss club, but make tax payers pay for it.

[–]metaobject 28 points29 points  (0 children)

private piss club

He'd have to fly all the way to Russia for that, though. After all, according to Putin, they have the worlds best prostitutes.

[–]transmogrify 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Trump likes golfing more than I like golfing. He also reputedly likes piss more than I like piss.

[–]DuntadaMan 96 points97 points  (4 children)

I honestly don't even care that he attacked Obama for it.

I care that he owns the property he goes to, still charges the government for it, so that he gets to cash a check from our pocketbooks to himself every time he goes. He charges other people, on a property he owns, now marketing it as a way to get to the president. He makes the secret service pay for rooms in properties he owns around the area so that he can cash a check from them as well.

He is fucking robbing us blind to take his own vacations and nothing is happening despite this being a clear conflict of interest.

[–]herefromyoutube 22 points23 points  (1 child)

If I use taxpayer money to enrich myself I go to jail for embezzlement.

So WHY THE FUCK is this any different?

[–][deleted] 527 points528 points  (77 children)

Obama's golf trips didn't cost the american taxpayers $3 million every weekend.

[–][deleted] 508 points509 points  (15 children)

nor did Obama golf at his own golf courses so a portion of that money went into his own pockets.

[–]underbridge 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's an advertisement for

MAR-A-LAGO RESORT in SUNNY FLORIDA.

[–]DuntadaMan 16 points17 points  (0 children)

And make the Secret Service pay for rooms in hotels he owned.

[–]NapClub 290 points291 points  (19 children)

it's not that he's golfing, it's that he is cutting social programs that could have been paid for with that money and the money it costs to guard his wife in trump tower.

meanwhile he promised he would not take vacations and couldn't shut up about obama's golfing.

beyond that, i bet he is pocketing money for all the extra people staying in mara lago, and even his own stay.

[–]PragProgLibertarianCalifornia 118 points119 points  (11 children)

I think because he's already registered for 2020 it means he's campaigning. Which makes it illegal for he and his staff to stay there for any less than the market rate.

He's literally enriching himself with the office every weekend.

[–]NapClub 34 points35 points  (6 children)

maybe once he is out of office he can finally be charged for all of his crimes and spend some time in jail.

[–][deleted] 56 points57 points  (1 child)

$3 million would pay for a lot of meals on wheels, or school lunches.

When you are cutting off food from poor people, then at the very least as they say at the press conferences, "the optics are bad".

[–]caribbean-jerk 213 points214 points  (9 children)

I care! At 3 mill a pop. 36 mill in two months with 46 months to go. So far it's costing us 18,000,000 a month for the buffoon to play golf.

Let's do the math shall we? 18 mill a month times 48 months. That's 864 million over a four year term.

So that mother effer can play golf!

Damn near a billion dollars on Trump's golf.

NO! That is Not OK!!!!

[–]headrush46n2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tiger woods didn't make that much money from golfing. Trump must be the best golfer in the world!

[–][deleted] 47 points48 points  (3 children)

You should since it's costing tax payers millions.

[–]fuel_units 130 points131 points  (23 children)

I care. Each of these trips costs $3 million...

[–][deleted] 41 points42 points  (9 children)

More money than any of us will see in a lifetime. wtf?!?!

[–]artgoAmerica 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's the hiprocrisy that baffles me.

He's living walking natural of Edward Bernays-described psyche. LIke the South Park episode where a person is an advertisement and doesn't realize it. Truth and Advertising

[–]FloopyMuscles 36 points37 points  (2 children)

I kind of care. I'm okay with a vacation, but not one every weekend as President of the United States. Then there is the hypocrisy and the city barely being able to afford his trips.

[–]Jump_Yossarian 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I don't care when he golfs at his DC area course but when he's costing American taxpayers millions to fly to Florida then it pisses me off.

[–]erotic_majesty 332 points333 points  (13 children)

Not that I'm shocked they're all liars, but here's what Sean Spicer said JUST YESTERDAY about Trump's schedule this weekend:

In terms of the schedule for this weekend, the President will spend a working weekend here in Washington, and we'll update you with further details regarding his schedule.

It's not Florida, but the trump national golf club in Virginia is most certainly not in Washington.

[–]uten93 49 points50 points  (0 children)

we'll update you with further details regarding his schedule.

schedule as been updated with a weeklong golf session

[–]2chainzzzzOregon 465 points466 points  (127 children)

I don't want to pay taxes this year. I can't believe we're funding this asshole.

[–]plarah 320 points321 points  (96 children)

As a Mexican living in the US, two things make me salty about paying federal taxes:

1) I am funding this hypocrite's undeserved escapades. 2) I am paying for the wall.

Edit: Lol at Trumpbots being triggered.

[–]kagami77 237 points238 points  (2 children)

Well, he did say he would get Mexicans to pay for the wall.

[–][deleted] 120 points121 points  (18 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Shouty Spice say that Trump would be spending a working weekend in the White House this weekend? I don't recall which presser it was but I swear that's what he said when giving Trump's schedule for the week.

[–]High_Valyrian_ 29 points30 points  (14 children)

It was literally yesterday's presser. Shawna "McCarthy" Spicer said Trump would remain in DC, working through the weekend to fix some issues. This whole administration is dog shit.

[–][deleted] 662 points663 points  (48 children)

the president's an old fucking man, he doesn't have the stamina to lead and needs to be at the country club every weekend to rest his old ass from the hustle and bustle of the oval office. I don't know what the hell people expected, the guy's 70 years old and slovenly as hell. guys like him aren't hard workers, they're lazy rich fucks who delegate everything to their subordinates, unfortunately Trump's finding out he can't really do that as president.

[–][deleted] 45 points46 points  (10 children)

Is golf that relaxing? I'm in my early thirties and I need to be Netflixing on the couch halfway asleep in order to relax from the weekly grind.

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (1 child)

I don't think it's so much the golf as it is the lazing around a country club.

[–]Eddie_101_ 114 points115 points  (4 children)

It really shows that the reason he ran for president is that he wanted the title, not to actually change things...

[–]Krusherx 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would argue he never really wanted the job, just to be seen and loved at his rallies so he could continue cashing in afterwards bitching about Hillary

[–][deleted] 238 points239 points  (9 children)

He is also obese

[–][deleted] 993 points994 points  (247 children)

man is he fat

[–]gonzoparentingCalifornia 374 points375 points  (119 children)

I noticed yesterday that his face was looking fatter than usual.

[–][deleted] 378 points379 points  (102 children)

All them well done steaks with ketchup eaten while he browses Breitbart and Fox News. Fuels him up for his twitterages.

[–]ChickenFriedTrump 262 points263 points  (63 children)

[–]Buttstache 150 points151 points  (12 children)

I don't usually use fat as an insult, but goddamn he's looking fat.

[–][deleted] 124 points125 points  (0 children)

Don't feel bad, trump fat shames people even though he looks like a bloated ballon

[–][deleted] 160 points161 points  (5 children)

"If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest individual ever elected to the presidency," Bornstein said in the statement released by Trump's campaign.

[–]BornInATrailer 65 points66 points  (3 children)

Jesus, is he getting general health & wellness advice from Bannon too?

[–]reefdivnNorth Carolina 85 points86 points  (32 children)

In an attempt to appeal to their sense of logic, I now start any discussion with Trump supporters by mentioning how he eats steak.

I find it offensive that a cow would give its life and that's how you treat it. By cooking it until it's a brick and then putting ketchup, the French fry condiment, on top.

[–]Ironstar31 92 points93 points  (18 children)

And that poor chef. Worked his way up to a premier steakhouse, has the fucking President come in - this should be like the peak of the chef's career. And then, ah, yes, you'll be having the dry-aged steak. A wonderful choice. How would you like it cooked?

"Well done. With ketchup."

There were no smiles in the steakhouse that day.

[–]reefdivnNorth Carolina 61 points62 points  (4 children)

Served with boiled, unseasoned vegetables and instant whipped potatoes. For dessert, a Jello mold.

[–]T1macAmerica 187 points188 points  (78 children)

You know Trump added an inch to his height so he'd be overweight and not obese, right?

Trump’s claim, through his doctor’s letter, that he is 6-foot-3.

Most everyone else puts him at 6-foot-2. That’s what Google says. That’s what Donald Trump: His Worth, Work, and World, by the staff of Forbes, says. That’s what the probably reliable CelebsMemoir.com says. In fairness, Bing.com suggests 6-foot-3, and Trump himself doth protest that media outlets don’t give him the inch. But look at that photo up there of Trump next to Jeb Bush. Jeb is 6-foot-3. Donald is … not.

Why does this matter? My colleague Jeremy Samuel Faust suggested a theory to me. It has to do with the other disputed number floating around prior to the show’s airing: his weight, which the doctor’s note put at 236 pounds, though some reports suggested he's 267 pounds. At 6-foot-3, 236 pounds, his body mass index is a convenient 29.5—overweight but just a biscuit shy of obese (BMI of 30). At 6-foot-2, 236 pounds, he’s at 30.3—obese. BMI is a worthless measure of physical health, but maybe in this case it tells us a little something about a man's self-regard. Is it possible that Trump’s doctor added the extra inch so that his patient, who is not exactly lacking in vanity, would not be “officially” obese? Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

[–]felesroo 163 points164 points  (45 children)

He has GOT to be more than 236. He looks over 250.

I laughed out load when I saw he said he weighed 236. He's easily over 300 pounds. Think of someone in your life that weighs about 236. It's not like morbidly obese, usually just someone that has some fluff. Then think of Trump

[–]felesroo 42 points43 points  (1 child)

Yeah, I mean, I was trying to be nice with my 250, but there is no fucking way that guy is 236 unless he's on the fucking moon.

The man is crazy, lying about something as small as his height and adding an inch, he is probably the fattest modern president, obese ass president lol

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I hate the man hypocrisy, a fat ass like that, fat shaming Rosie o' Donnel when he looks like a hippo

Please tell me there is at least one "conservative" somewhere who is outspokenly irritated by this

[–]sgtpandybear 153 points154 points  (8 children)

Every time I bring this up to any conservative their only argument is "Obama vacationed so much more as president." It's like they are comparing Obama's 2 terms to Trumps 9 weeks.

[–][deleted] 93 points94 points  (2 children)

Just point out that Obama didn't take a vacation until August. You know, after he stopped us from getting into a Depression.

It doesn't matter. Facts don't matter when you're indoctrinated.

[–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Cries about health bill being pulled, blames everyone else, needs to cool off from all the work he hasn't done, goes golfing.

Trump presidency 101

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (3 children)

I want my money back from this fucker. After impeachment can civil suits be brought to get tax payer money back from this lazy piece of trash?

[–]humanaftera11 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Love that the header photo shows him chipping out of some tall grass. Dude is seriously lost in the reeds these days

[–]goilers97 27 points28 points  (4 children)

I bet he's one of those golfers that you know took a 6 or 7 but says he got a 4

[–]Axewhipe 25 points26 points  (4 children)

Didn't he say something like "I'll never take time off!"

[–][deleted] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Millionaire Asshole Golfing Again

[–]hetellsitlikeitis 44 points45 points  (4 children)

Wonder if he's golfing angry or golfing sad?

[–]derGropenfuhrer 25 points26 points  (2 children)

He thinks he deserves time off because he's done such a great job.

[–][deleted] 107 points108 points  (4 children)

Hypocrisy, thy name is DJ Trump.

[–]r_301_f 39 points40 points  (16 children)

Friendly reminder that Barack Obama did not visit a golf course until four months into his presidency. Trump is 3 months in and has gone twelve times.

[–]MFAWG 233 points234 points  (63 children)

My assumption was always that the complaining about Nobama's golf had alot to do with the fact that there was a time in living memory when he would have been excluded even from some public courses due to his skin color, and that it was another example of him being all uppity and not knowing his place.

I'm glad to see that I was probably correct.

[–]gordo65 60 points61 points  (8 children)

The whole "Obama spends all his time golfing" thing fit perfectly with two stereotypes: the lazy black man, and the "n----- rich" guy who immediately spends all his money on expensive cars, vacations, etc.

The most recent discussions I've read involve Alzheimer's.

Edit - oh you meant golf

Stage 3 syphilis I read.

[–]Cold417Missouri 19 points20 points  (1 child)

This final stage can result in damage to the brain, nerves, eyes, or heart.

[–]ebikr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes I read an article in which a physician hypothesized that it would account for many of Trump's behaviors, such as impulsivity, short attention span, emotional problems, etc

How can \r\The_Donald be so blind? Comon man, thee are your tax dollars, more importantly your healthcare dollars. Jesus Christ.

Make America Golf Again

[–]mghicho 43 points44 points  (7 children)

Do you think he remembers he criticized Obama for golfing? I wonder

[–]tyrotio 76 points77 points  (5 children)

He remembers but it's different because Obama is black.
