Trump plays golf 3 times as much as Obama, costing $43 mil.

Journal by DeathMonkey

Donald Trump has spent 81 days on the golf course in his first year as President, racing past his predecessors.

Mr Trump, after a weekend at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, has spent more time on the green than George W Bush did during eight years in office.

The President has also been on the golf course almost three times as much as Barack Obama did during his first year.

The American public spent at least $43 million in order to support President Donald Trump‘s considerable golf habit in 2017.

    For the events that we had our hands in from that time period we have the Taliban, Syrian civil war, Isis, Ebola, N/S Korea gunfire exchange, Pacific Typhoon, Yemen, 5.8 unemployment rate

    Nothing much going on with the Taliban right now
    Syrian civil war is pretty much over (thanks to Trump stopping support of the rebels)
    Isis is 90% destroyed, Ebola is not a big issue currently (I guess the plague is currently having a resurgence)
    N/S Korea have not exchanged fire recently and there is currently a lull (until Trump tweets or Kim tests another bomb)
    No major natural disasters at this moment
    Yemen situation no different
    4.1 unemployment rate

    Additional problems Trump is facing are
    Israel being Israel

    Personally I liked it when Obama (or i guess any politician) goes golfing because it means they are not ruining my life/freedom. I kind of figured you would see 43 million as a small price to pay to have Trump out of office.
