Trump spent 1 of 5 days at one of his golf clubs in 2019How has President Donald Trump spent his Christmas vacation? Working, he says, but also on the golf course.
(snip) According to CNN's tally, he has spent at least 251 days at a Trump golf club and 332 days at a Trump property as President.
This year alone, he's spent at least 85 days at a golf club, despite a late start due to the government shutdown. The golf excursions have included the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia; his Bedminister, New Jersey, golf club; Trump National Doral outside Miami; and Trump International Doonbeg in Ireland.
Trump joins a long list of presidents with a love of the game, though he is the only one who publicly -- and frequently -- criticized his predecessor, former President Barack Obama. Trump went after Obama's golf habits repeatedly on Twitter and on the campaign trail. "I mean he's played more golf than most people on the PGA Tour, this guy," Trump said during a 2016 campaign stop in New Hampshire.

And he had the stones to lambaste Obama for golfing a fraction of the times he has. What an ass.

On social media you'll usually see them say, "it's the same thing Obama did."
