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.

    Somebody ultimately gets power.

    Temporarily, one can have a weak and ineffective situation that is prone to disaster. What comes to mind is the Roman triumvirate, and also the pre-Hitler situation in Germany with both a president and a chancellor. Those didn't end well.

    To function well, somebody needs to be able to make shit happen. You can't have parliamentary debate while ICBMs are incoming.
