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 Trumpā€˜s considerable golf habit in 2017.

        Hey, he was good at having bombs dropped on children.
        He was good at threatening to replace striking workers with military people.
        (Those damned courts always getting in the way.)

        3 of those ambidextrous guys were the result of teachers forcing lefties to write with their unnatural hand.

        Garfield was said to have been able to write Greek with his left hand and Latin with his right at the same time.
        That's a different kind of brain than I have.
        Didn't keep him from getting shot dead though.
