to pamper with deluxe golden gourmet golf pleasures the so-called billionaire* who is leading the republican crusade to cut taxes for the rich, and piss on everyone else.

relax and indulge in a favorite pastime or hobby. But for this particular President, it is especially galling considering how he denigrated President Obama’s off time spent golfing, playing basketball or even just relaxing with a good book and a cold beer. He bragged how he’d be working his ass off and would not have time for golf. The truth is he has spent a quarter of his time in office on the links. He golfs regularly and dares anyone to call him on it. THAT is the issue. The hypocrisy of slamming President Obama while spending more time golfing than ANY previous President is too obvious to ignore.

He has some explaining to do. I won’t hold my breath waiting on his answer.

not fooled

Is there a graphic anywhere other than 'toons where someone has depicted this? I.e., a realistic rendering. Of course, converting the WH itself into a clubhouse would be a greater challenge--the WH doesn't match the great "entitled assholes only" atmosphere inside a country club.

Hope the morans who thought dump would be looking out for them and working on their behalf are proud. Of course, inside the dumpster cult it doesn't matter what the asshole actually does--they worship him anyway. Our very own American home grown modern day fascist leader.

Trump could be out hitting the campaign trail for his party's gubernatorial candidate in Virginia right about now. Obama is doing exactly that these days, and drawing enthusiastic crowds. Except that for some strange reason Trump is being kept at a distant arms length when it comes to state and local elections, "MAGA" notwithstanding. So what's a radioactive president to do in a state like Virginia, or New Jersey? Might as well play a few rounds of golf.
