Almost fourteen months into his presidency, Donald Trump has reached a dubious milestone that none before him have achieved: Hes spent his 100th day at a golf club bearing his own name.
Considering hes only been in office for 408 days, that means hes spent almost 25 percent of his time at a Trump-branded golf club, including during the funerals of Parkland victims, while millions of Americans remained without water and power in Puerto Rico, and for an entire week after Christmas.
The landmark was reached on Saturday at Trumps club in Palm Beach County, Florida. CNN reports that this is one of the four Trump courses that the president has visited since he took his oath, in addition to Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida; Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia; and Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Trump was extremely critical of President Obamas golfing habits. Before he got into office, Trump infamously said that he wouldnt have time to play golf if he was president. But since his inauguration, he has spent a staggering amount of time at his golf properties and he is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. Around Christmas time, Trump spent nine out of 10 days playing golf. In January, he spent Martin Luther King, Jr. Day on the golf course.
