255x the salary he isn't taking. It's not like he's using it to play money at his own courses or anything. Oh, wait...

If any are unaware of how Trump fans justify this, it's: "I don't care he deserves it, he's the best president we've ever had and has gotten more done than Obama."
They truly believe this so no amount of money spent on golf matters.

That's what I mean. While he's busy playing golf he's not starting world war 3.
He makes them rent golf carts when he is on one of his courses to protect him too.
...and feed some people who aren't there too I bet. Plus there's the increased membership fees he charges for the pay-for-play. All totally legal-ish!
*sniffs Yea but 18 angry democrats 👈colluded with Hillary's emails to hunt witches into obstruction👋
Presidents really need to stop going golfing. Maybe like a once a year trip, not every week or every other week. Shits ridiculous.
Like didn't this dude build a golf simulator in the White House? Use that.

Why do that, when you can feed them the cheap stuff at inflated prices?
And if you ask them what he's actually done, their eyes will glaze over. Eventually they might mumble, "made America great." And if you ask how exactly, they'll say something about Obama or Benghazi.
This another one of those Schroedinger's Conservative phenomena, isn't it? Where Republicans simultaneously can't stand a Democrat President that golfs occasionally, while having nothing but admiration for a Republican President that golfs all the time?
Please let whoever wins the primaries roast this fucking guy on live tv during the debates. Clinton boogeyman is gone, all he is going to have is garbage insults. Needs to he dragged and publicly humiliated for stuff like this.
I'll never understand the fascination with talking about presidential golfing. Why do people care about this? Every term it gets talked about and people collectively clutch pearls over it.
Remember When Carter's peanut farm was a big deal?
Because Trump golfs on his own courses to enrich himself.

They even have to rent the golf carts, which surprisingly got a prive hike
For vacation. Golf was like $30 mil. Article is unclear if Trump has other vacation costs?
OP

Because Secret Service and other government organizations are paying full rate for golf carts and hotel rooms at his own resorts, enriching Trump's pocket directly.
His scores are significantly worse because he can't cheat on the simulator.
And the simulator doesn't line his pockets with taxpayer money.

For the record, like with Obama or GWB, I don't have a problem when presidents take vacations, golf, play basketball, go to Camp David, or anything else. I actually think its healthy and more presidents should not be working all the time. But Trump campaigned so hard on the "Obama Playing Golf" meme that he can eat shit, and he's also playing golf specifically to enrich Trump Inc. coffers.
Most recently, the scheduled meeting between Irish PM Leo Varadka and Trump is in jeopardy because Trump insists the meeting take place at a Trump golf course, and the Irish PM wants to meet at a place of cultural significance to the Irish, this historic castle. Trump is throwing a hissy fit about it and threatening to cancel the visit. He just wants the revenue because he's using the presidency to enrich himself.
Also Trump is a notorious fucking cheater at golf, even when playing with children.

Yes all of them are bad for wasting so much money on it.
Also how is he supposed to do secret deals in the White House instead of his other big house where he can do whatever he wants.
