I agree with the criticism towards Trump. He did make a big deal about it before and during the campaign.

One thing that sticks out though, is that Trump is a wealthy businessman. Where do wealthy businessmen meet to discuss deals? I can't find anything that says who all of his partners have been, but if he is working while playing, I have no problem with it. I did see that it cannot be confirmed that he was actually playing golf on all of those visits also, but can't say he wasn't either.

You must have missed my first statement. I wasn't deflecting anything. I do think it is hypocritical. But if he is getting things done concurrently, then I can overlook the hypocrisy.

So then you saw there really was no deflection. I addressed the topic, and stated what could make me overlook it. That didn't change my first statement at all.

Trump made it a big deal years ago. He said Obama should be fired for golfing so much as President (see above). Trump golfs more than Obama ever did, so....

Let me try to make my point a different way. I was a supervisor and had 2 employees that both smoked cigarettes. One took a bunch of breaks to smoke, the other waited until he needed to go outside in the course of work to smoke his cig, or sometimes half a cig. It bothered me how many breaks the first guy took as it slowed production. The second guy was fine in my eyes because he was still being productive.

That is the way I look at this, and only if it turns out that is what he is doing.

I still think going to the golf courses that often is highly hypocritical on its face.

And I really don't care at all about any President's golfing habits. It's a hard job.

No! You don't get to. This is a Trump criticism thread. It's based on tu quoque. You must express disdain, and if you try to explain reasonably, you get disdain.

Nope. Someone. Common maybe? Said it east a big deal because president Obama golfer 200 times. That would be over 8 years. At Trump's current pace it will take him about 3.5 years to hit the 200 mark.

Admit it. He has accomplished nothing. Zip. Zero. nope. Nada, as in "Nada damn thing". He's a complete waste of time who spends his day watching TV and posting pissed off twitter rants at people he doesn't like. Acts just like a 10 year old kid, which come to think of it is probably why hes so popular with conservatives, they find him easy to understand.

Really Jim? Check the last jobs report! Your lord and savior BO was a terrible manager of the economy but yet you still worship him and the party that helped strangle the recovery.

Want to know what Obama was god at? Shit that didn't matter like gay marriage and transgender bathrooms. Oh yes he would run right out on the limb for this BS. But when it came the shit he was hired for he failed. Just look at the state he left the party in.......no denying it!

Donald Trump takes 15th golf trip in 11 weeks since becoming President
(http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-xi-jinping-golf-trip-fifteenth-eleven-weeks-mar-a-l-ago-syria-air-strikes-a7674301.html)
Donald Trump is taking his 15th golf trip in the 11 weeks since becoming President, as he spends another weekend at one of his own luxury resorts.

It seems that Trump is spending more time on the links promoting his golf courses than doing work in the Oval Office.

It's a shame he can't get a mulligan for his presidency.
