President Trump installed a room-sized golf simulator at White House

Did TFG do any work or did TFG spend all of his time playing golf either virtually or at his courses?



Trump’s system cost about $50,000, and was put in during the last few weeks in a room in his personal quarters, a White House official said.

The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of the president’s private residence, said that Trump had paid for the new system and the installation personally.

President Trump has built his schedules around long blocks of executive time — unstructured periods in the day with no official meetings. He often spends this time watching TV, tweeting, holding impromptu meetings and making phone calls, aides have said.




I agree with Joe on this

To his beach house about 90 miles from DC. I think Joe is back home before Hannity stop complaining. I don’t blame him for going someplace where he can think without all their yammering. Joe has played exactly one round of golf as I recall as president. I bet he laughed when he saw the giant screen and called him an asshole

You can't get top results with laziness. Reagan slept through it while Ollie North, S&L, and Iran-Contra grew in the basement. This is no different.

And his behavior is more shocking because it serves no purpose greater than salving his own obscure hurts; he is no historic visionary but simply someone who wants the perks of the presidency. Biden observes, on surveying the golf toys that Trump assembled in the White House, including a wall-size video screen so he could play virtual courses, “What a f---ing ---hole.”

1) Engaging in healthy activity.
2) Setting a good example for American citizens by getting beneficial exercise.
3) Doing the best he can as President to keep his body and mind sharp and help reduce mental stress.

Fox News is so effing full of shit.

If there was an actual payment, he must have conned someone to pay that bill.
Promised something in return.

Trump saw the WH as winning the lottery, it was all free taxpayer money at his disposal.

In a socialist country, the government owns everything and says the people own it.

Trump siphoned the treasury dry and said it was his money.

Either last week or the week before Stephan Pastis did a Pearls sequence where Larry the Croc was named president. He thought he could just drive over to the Treasury Department and take home as much money as he wanted. When he found out he couldn't, he tried to quit his job. I think he was talking about Trump.

According to Rick Reilly, the author of "Commander in Cheat" Trumpy isn't a bad golfer at all, he just cheats because he can't NOT cheat.

I've got that book on Audible and Reilly said he is a pretty good ball striker and overall, is supposed to be about a 4 handicap, (but Trumpy claims a 2.8!) By comparison, Jack Nicklaus has a 5.2, and there is no bloody way Trumpy is a better golfer than Nicklaus.

But the fact remains, TFG is not a bad golfer, he's just an asshole of a human being and cheats at everything, including golf.
