So what galls me about Trump playing golf is not his hypocrisy about Obama. I'm over that. Its that he plays Trump golf courses exclusively - crash davis Apr 10, 10:03 17
- [deleted] 16
  - Ditto for the tax overhaul. - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 10:12 1
    - [deleted]
  - It also peeves me that he'd consider cutting small ticket items like Meals on Wheels while spending so much on himself. -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 10:11 7
    - That was not well reported. The cut was a $3B program that provices 3% of MoW's budget. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 11:11 1

    - That's red meat for the base. Same goes for NEA grants (if they are being discussed) -- nm - Strongbad Apr 10, 10:13 1

    - Trump Has Already Spent Almost Double Obama’s Annual Travel Budget - crash davis Apr 10, 10:12

      - I'm trying to curb straight up Trump posting, so I have to link it to something cool (this case sports,golf) so I have to link the issues :) -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 10:14
  - I agree, but I'd also add - Strongbad Apr 10, 10:10 5
    - The difference is the degree to which it is incidental to the exercise of the office. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 10:48
    - It's not just priorities and intentions. You're skipping the key word: "former". Of course there are many reasons why former presidents profit, - pmb Apr 10, 10:38

      - What he really meant was destroying environmentally beneficial wetlands to build his new condo tower. -- nm* - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 10:19

Golf count - Trump 16 rounds so far, Obama 333 rounds, Eisenhower 800 rounds, Wilson 1200 rounds - crash davis Apr 10, 09:38 10
- I would not have guessed that Wilson spent much time outdoors. I always saw him as a bookworm. -- nm - Max Apr 10, 09:56 1
  - I had no idea. I always thought Ike was the king of the POTUS golfers -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 10:04
- So, trump is on pace to play almost 300 rounds in his first term? -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 10, 09:40 4
  - I think Trump is thinking too small. He should try to catch Wilson in his first term, not just Obama -- nm - crash davis Apr 10, 09:42 1
    - Once he abandons DC and makes Mar-a-Lago the permanent POTUS residence, he will do it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:45
  - *laughs* -- nm - mud SI Apr 10, 09:41 1
    - *laughs* -- nm - mud Apr 10, 09:43
