Staff is cagey about how much time president spends golfing on pricey trips to his resort.
President Donald Trump likes to call his Mar-a-Lago golf resort the Winter White House but there may be more presidential putts than meetings occurring at the get-away destination. Its difficult to know for certain because the private club can keep the presidents activities hidden from the public and the media.
This weekend in particular the presidents fifth trip to Mar-a-Lago in eight weeks in the White House Trump may have been more embroiled with his nine-iron than the troubles of the nation. He cancelled a touted meeting Friday night with business leaders and doctors to discuss veterans health care, and his aides were circumspect about how he spent his time Saturday.
He spent over four hours on Saturday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, where he was supposed to be having meetings and phone calls, according to his staff, CBS reported.

But the president posed for a photo on Twitter, which included former Mitt Romney aide Peter Flaherty, in the clubhouse posted by pal Chris Ruddy, who runs the conservative news site Newsmax. Trump was wearing a golf glove. When asked about the photo, an aide conceded that the president may have hit a few balls.

We all know he is not doing ANY work at all. Not at Mar-a Lago OR in the White House. He is nothing more than a grifter. He sure pulled the biggest con ever on the GOPeeeees!

(2,434 posts)might ask where it is he goes to church since he spends every Sunday in Palm Beach and, after all, it is the Holy Season. Seems a reasonable query and I'm sure his Fundie supporters would like to know.
