Trump Whines Over Negative Golf Coverage

President Donald Trump once again took swings at criticism he received about golfing over the weekend amid the coronavirus pandemic, calling the media “deranged” ...

“The Fake & Totally Corrupt News makes it sound like a mortal sin - I knew this would happen!” he tweeted Monday following news coverage of him hitting the links in Virginia as the nation’s COVID-19 death toll neared 100,000.

Trump went on to say that the media was “sick with hatred and dishonesty” and “truly deranged.”

After three years in office, he has already spent 270% more days on a golf course than Obama had at the same point in his first term, a HuffPost analysis found.

There are any number of Trump's tweets giving Obama the raspberry for going out for a round of golf. Now he's having to take what he dished out, and is suddenly just sooooo unfair!

What a whiner.

Did he not campaign on the promise that he wouldn't be out golfing all the time? Oh he certainly did.

That's quite a caboose he's got going there. I've heard golf described as "a good walk spoiled," but maybe His Lardship should do a little more walking during those outings. That hiney spends too much time in a golf cart.

The more he golfs the less he tweets. He should golf at least 10 hours a day!

11. 270% More Golf That BHO At Same Point?

I question that number. I'd buy it if it were 270% of BHO the entire 8 years.
Seems way too low!

That user interface is horrible. Keeps changing screen positions and moving entries from one field to another.
I don't think they really want people suggesting corrections.
