normally, yeah but trump golfed an unprecedented amount of times wasting tax payer money
Golf can really be a method for getting deals done. It's a slow, non-physically exerting experience where you can just talk with the other people you're playing with.
Trump attempted to make this argument, but he did it so much to avoid the responsibilities of President while also using his privilege to play with whoever he wanted. He was playing with football and golf stars more often than not to boot.
A big wide field makes an easy landing zone. It all makes sense now...

He did it at his own golf resorts specifically so the money would go back to him too.
An unprecedented dereliction of duty!
I'll never tire of this. It always puts a spring in my step to imagine the little ping of outrage he must feel every time he catches himself wanting to tweet.

Impeach his ass.
Dude's been working his ass off for the last 3 months. He can take the day off.
Going by that website, President Trump had already had 19 outings by this point.
I'm sure he buddy Mike Lindell will have something to say as well.
That youtube kid Ryan already has a voting base. It's his election to lose imo.
You can't possibly think Trump went golfing 8 billion times during his presidency because the job was stressing him out, do you?
Does every President golf? When are we gonna get the first President who's playing Last of Us or Mario Kart. Seems like every President golfs and has a pet.
I guess, at least I, want to see how the right wing people will deal with this since you have 439009438034 instances of Trump going golfing without a word from these people.
Biden plays Mario Kart with granddaughter at Camp David
President Biden has joined the scores of people who turned to Mario Kart to stay entertained during the pandemic — at least for one game with his granddaughter. Naom…

Wonder if Biden got a PS5 too.
My guess is the Fox story won't be about Biden golfing, but the metastory they make up about liberals castigating Trump for golfing but not doing the same when Biden golfs, witch hunting, "so its okay when Biden does it", etc. (obviously the nuance of the AMOUNT of golfing will be brushed over).
Right wingers: Our previous president worked hard! How dare you go hard on him!
Also right wingers: Our current president is a lazy motherfucker!

I got used clubs and when I went, only went once every two months. I thought Id hate it, after years of Hot Shots I didnt need to add actual walking and swinging to the frustration.
But... its fun! Sometimes you hit the ball, it makes this perfect sound and you watch it roll right into the middle of where you aimed. Its super addictive.
On topic, let Uncle Joe get some swings in.
...because the 4 years of evidence we have of him doing absolutely nothing resembling work?
It's honestly probably something as simple as being the easiest and most secure option when it comes to getting out.
Golfing is a nice and fun sport, and very social as well. It's something simple that doesn't really require much skill or strength and it's a fun sport to just hang out with friends or conduct business while playing.
This shit will never get old honestly. So glad he's away from the Twitter now

He probably had plenty of stress, it's just that none of it came from actually doing work.
I think W still has the record for most golf outings in the job.
Golfing is basically required in corporate America because so many deals begin on the golf course. And the same holds true for American politics:
- Eisenhower: there were presidential golfers before him but he LOVED the sport and definitely started the modern tradition of golfing as President
- Kennedy, of course, golfed a lot in his youth as he was a Kennedy but didn't golf much as President due to his back issues
- LBJ didn't care about golfing but quickly realized that golfing meant you got multiple hours to wheel & deal with people. He basically started the Presidential tradition of using golf as a way of making deals and allegedly used golf to get the Civil Rights Act passed. LBJ also infamously refused to count anything but "the perfect shot", which seems like a convenient delay tactic if the Congressman you are playing with isn't budging from their position.
- Nixon picked up golf while being Eisenhower's VP but didn't care much for it. He played to make deals but vastly preferred bowling
- Ford loved golfing
- Carter, as a typical southern boy, didn't golf at all
- Reagan picked up golf as President and most likely use it as a way to make deals also. Wasn't very good though
- H.W. Bush LOVED golfing and it's a huge part of the Bush family
- Clinton picked up golfing and also used it to make deals. However, he also fell in love with the sport
- Dubya also played a lot like his father but wasn't as into it. He's more of a baseball guy (obviously)
- Obama loves golf & likely used it to make deals
- Trump sucks at golf and is only invested because he owns golf courses. And while I'm sure he enjoys having 4+ hours to talk someone's head off, I doubt any of them were to make deals
Trump prefers not to have pets. He definitely hates dogs. I don't think he likes animals much in general.
Learning to play golf is a biproduct of the real reason people in those circles congregate on golf courses.
He made it this long before golfing once? That's impressive actually. Wasn't Trump on the course like his first week? If not first day. Plus I literally just read an article that said Trump is golfing MORE now that he's out of office than he did when he was President. And I'm like how can he possibly golf more than he was?
How would that even work?
