Donald Trump plays 16th round of golf since becoming President just over 11 weeks ago

Donald Trump may have frequently rebuked Barack Obama for playing too much golf but he is substantially outpacing his predecessor. The president has made his 16th visit to one of his eponymous golf courses since entering the White House just over 11 weeks ago.

The billionaire was spotted playing golf at his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach in Florida on Sunday for the second day in a row. Mr Trump was spotted driving a golf cart and putting on the green. According to White House pool reports, the president left for the course around 9.30am on Sunday and left at 2.30pm.

The president also travelled to the course for a round of golf on Saturday, with his motorcade driving past protesters brandishing signs outside the course, including one that read “Impeach Trump".

He seems to spend a lot of time in "the rough" I hear that he lies about his score also. What a physique!! No wonder women throw themselves at him, his wallet makes the biggest bulge in his pants, bigger than anything else!! Have another bag of chips, Don the Con. Who knew Depends makes XXL undies for lard asses like him.

and squander $3 million of taxpayer money while you are playing with your putter and planning ways to slash the budget for meals on wheels, and heat for elders.

Assuming 4 years at 52 weeks per year (=208), divided by 11 times 16.

I think the assumption of 4 years is questionable. Clearly Donald doesn't want to be President. And he can't be bothered to follow the law. So he'll either quit or get thrown out before the 4 years is up. He might make it to two years. My guess is March of 2019 and he'll leave. (Or 160 rounds of golf.)

8. Who is Running Our Country?

It should be obvious that Trump is not running the country. He is far too unqualified, dysfunctional and busy playing golf/tweeting. This is a man who has never had to break a sweat working a single day in his life. Now, we are to believe he is handling what is arguably the most comprehensive and challenging job on the planet? Bannon, Kushner, and Ivanka are not in charge either. Instead, they are all just players in an enormous dog and pony show designed to distract -- the ultimate con.

The frightening question for our democracy is who is really in charge and calling the shots? In a democracy, it should be transparent and at least theoretically, whom we voted for.
