    Does anyone remember how much golf trump played during his first term? I seem to recall it being a lot, like maybe more than any other president.

      He had more unscheduled time per day than any other president along with:

      Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.

        I honestly thought it was more golf, but he might just not be that athletic.

      If I recall correctly, it was literally a full year of his “presidency.”

            And he spent more in 4 years on golf than I have made in my entire life time.

                That seems like an awful lot of government waste, maybe someone should look into that.

                  I think they even made a new department for that. I bet that waste will be resolved in no time!

              That’s a very good point. And it makes me genuinely sick to my stomach.

      261 rounds across a single term, but not more than any other president. Woodrow Wilson played somewhere around 1000-1200 games according to different sources I read. Still, it’s definitely worth noting that Trump’s golfing this term has already cost more than some of Musk’s cullings, to the tune of around $10.7 million.

      320days for his 4-year term, and people were accusing obama did more. and yes hes cheating at most of them anyways. there was interceding period where trump did nothing after his major tax cuts, not until the pandemic hit, where hes was confirming judges left and right.

      The bigger problem was the piece of shit profiting off of it.

      I’m always very confused by the appeal of golf. I still don’t get it.
