https://www.inquisitr.com/4710393/donald-trump-sets-first-year-records-for-most-golfing-trips-lowest-approval-rating-fewest-bills-signed/+Through that first year, Trump has set marks for the lowest overall approval rating for a new president, the least legislation signed for a first year in the White House, and one more controversial title the most days spent golfing.
In the final weeks of 2017, Trump often bragged that he had signed the most legislation of any president in their first year in office. But as ABC News pointed out, the exact opposite is true. The report cited analysis by the nonpartisan GovTrack.us, which keeps track of legislation signed by presidents. It found that Trump has signed the fewest bills of any president dating back to President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
...Donald Trump spent one out of every four days of his presidency on the golf course, the site Trump Golf Count noted.
That has put Trump on top of the list for most golfing trips among modern presidents and drawn quite a bit of controversy. While it is not out of the norm for presidents to take golf trips, Trump spent years criticizing Barack Obama for his golf trips and said during his presidential campaign that he would not be going golfing at all, instead staying in the White House to work. After his first year, Trump has gone to the golf course more than three times as much as Obama did.
These have helped lead to another low mark for Trump in his first year. Through the end of his first year, Trump has reached the lowest approval rating of any new president, Newsweek noted. Trump did not enjoy the honeymoon phase that most presidents find after first taking office, failing to top 50 percent in many polls at any point during his first year. It has continued to sink through Trumps controversial and unpopular decisions.

(31,909 posts)Ever mentioned Donnie's gazillion golfing trips to a Conservative? And pointed out that Donnie, who use to rail on about Obama's golfing, has taken many many more golfing weekends than Obama ever did? What kind of reply do they give you? I'm just curious.

(10,135 posts)Like: those numbers are faked, he's working when he's golfing, Obama never worked when golfing/vacationing, Trump is an expert businessman his vacations aren't like your or Obama's vacations, the media is faking the numbers and never reports accurately on poor abused Trump. And other such nonsense.
Mostly it's a waste of time to give Trump voters the truth, they never believe you.

Donald Trump has tweeted about golf at least 460 times since creating his Twitter account in 2009.
Hes promoted the courses he owns, praised the game as a source of mental and physical development, critiqued other courses, and bragged about whom hes playing with.
Between 2011 and 2016, he also tweeted at least 27 complaints, jokes, or scoldings about Barack Obama playing golf while president. Some of the following could be considered retweets, but Trumps long had a unique Twitter style that blurs the line between tweets about him and those he writes himself.

(9,426 posts)He has made more money for himself through his properties than any other president. Oh, make that two: he has hired more family members than any other president. If he were a democratic president, he would have been crucified long ago. According to the gop, the rules are different for the dems.

(9,111 posts)He'll gouge for every nickel and dime he can, complete scam artist. He's too stupid and clumsy to work a 3 card monty scam, though. That's the level he'd be operating at (and failing at), if his klan/bund daddy hadn't bought him a button.
He cashed a 13 cent check from NY Mag, one time. Him and Adnan Khashoggi (Iran Contra gate guy) were the only 2 rich guys that stooped that low:

We can fix everything he breaks.
The only question is, "How soon?"

(9,111 posts)The story of his life. His multibillion dollar incompetence and bankruptcies made him too big to fail, and got him billion dollar tax write-offs.
Lose and fail always, due to your idiotic impulses and whims. Doesn't matter, you're always going to win. You're meant to rule, li'l donnie.
