Trump Installed ‘Golf Simulator’ at White House

“President Trump has installed a room-sized ‘golf simulator’ game at the White House, which allows him to play virtual rounds at courses all over the world by hitting a ball into a large video screen,” the Washington Post reports.

“That system replaced an older, less sophisticated golf simulator that had been installed under President Obama… Trump’s system cost about $50,000, and was put in during the last few weeks in a room in his personal quarters.”


This could explain all of that "Executive Time"

1. I knew it!

When he stayed in DC during the shutdown, I knew he'd be using a simulator.

He's such an ass.



ETA: With this winter weather, I wish I had one!

2. Hey! Do they have parade simulators?

Needy Amin would never leave the White House if he had a room giving him a big parade every day. Heck, I bet you could crowdfund it in a matter of hours.

3. I wonder if he can rig it so...

...that he has a nice, low score?

4. As if this jerk needed something else to piss away his time on

Watching TV and talking to his buddies doesn't waste enough time there, fella?

5. Kennedy had a swimming pool.

And, if they pulled the floor out of the press briefing room, I think all the reporters would get drenched.

I think it's great that Trump has a golf simulator. The more time he spends in there, the better. 24x7 would be fine by me.

6. If he occasionally did some actual work

like real presidenting - I don't mind giving the holder of that office a few perks. It's a hard, demanding job for most people, and presidents have always had ways of dealing with the stress: Eisenhower played golf, Kennedy swam, Obama shot hoops, and so on. But they were working most of the time.

Installed a few weeks ago? During the shutdown? So that's why he wasn't in a hurry to resolve it.
