    Sadly he's doing it on the backs of hardworking American taxpayers.
    The New Yorker’s new magazine cover is a very accurate representation of Donald Trump’s Swampy “presidency”: Trump, doing what he does best, golfing in his ever growing Swamp and surrounded by his Swamp things.

    He’s spent 24% of his “presidency” golfing. Add his trips to his properties into the mix and that percentage increases to 32%.

    DAYS IN OFFICE
    479
    DAYS AT TRUMP PROPERTIES
    155
    DAYS AT GOLF PROPERTIES
    113

    President Donald Trump was seen golfing for the second time in Sterling, Virginia near Washington DC on Mother's Day Sunday.
    This marks Trump's 113th visit to one of his golf properties, Trump National Golf Club, since taking office - he's been in office for 478 days.
    And he complained that Obama golfed too much! What an effing hypocrite.

    Trump serves America and the world without taking a dime for his time from the American taxpayer.

    and that tells you how much he golfs?

    Every change of government one side mysteriously starts hating golf.

    I remember this exact same **** under Bush, then Obama, now Trump.

    The more times he visits his golf clubs, the more new members sign up hoping to see him there, the more money Trump gets. He doubled subscription costs on his first day as President at his Florida golf club from $100,000 to $200,000 per year - cashing in!. Would love to see how many times he has gone golfing at rival golf clubs - probably be able to count those times on one finger

    And of course the golf range is also one of the few private places he can actually level with foreign dignitaries without being spied on.

    Uh, I'm sorry, but who the hell do you think is paying for the secret service agents' accommodations, food and other related expenses at Trump's properties, while he's there? Not to mention the secret service agent's accommodations in Trump towers for his family's security while they are there? All that money goes DIRECTLY into his pockets. Remember, he has NOT removed his vested interest from these properties, as EVERY other president has done before him!
    You really need to read a bit more and educate yourself before you post.
    Of course he isn't taking the paltry salary of $250,000.00 a year; he makes several times that every day from taxpayers like you, and you are gullible enough to believe that this makes him some kind of good guy.
    Like I said, do a bit of reading.

    Boy, did you miss the point of this thread! Uh well, I guess that's par for the course with those who believe in alternative facts and that all information that doesn't come from the dotard in chief's tweet, is fake news.

    Trumpies will defend that Orange Fool even if he burned their houses down.

    Trumpies blindly accept that "1+1=3" because Fat Donnie tells them to.

    Of course they are going to blindly defend Trump's FLEECING of the Taxpayers.:smfh:

    Seems there conflicting reports here.
    One story, from a number of reliable sources- says Trump is a workaholic that gets by on 3-4 hours sleep and is on the job no matter what he is doing- Thinking, planning, sending instructions, even while golfing.
    Another (Rasmussen polling data) says Trump has amassed a "Shocking long list" of accomplishments, which doesn't exactly support the idea he's not on the job. Washington Examiner Newspaper and several others echo that statement.
    Both of the above are similar to a number of reports from various sources.

    Then we have the reports from the Trump haters, who refuse to give him credit for tying his shoes. Reminds me of the referees at pro wrestling, usually known as "Blind Harry" or similar.
    And your report, which relies on base insult and defamation to imply that the other reports don't exist.
    I seem to digress a little. Who is the effing hypocrite again?

    Hypocrite yes. By running for president he has lost a ton of money in his businesses due to bad publicity. He also spent money on the campaign. This hardly makes up the difference.

    I guess you can find a pollster somewhere to tell you what you want. The Washington Examiner and Rasmussen are not something I would put on my resume. Proclaiming Trump as some kind of superman that does strategic planning during sex sort of stretches one's credibility. There are more reports that says Trump spends 4-8 hours a day watching FOX and sending out tweets. Take your pick, superman or super clown.

    "Shocking list of accomplishments" tends to leave one breathless until you line them up, along with their unintended consequences and actual implementation. The presidency, as with most professional endeavors depend on quality, not quantity. I had a sign in my office that had ACTION crossed out and replaced with RESULTS. That's sort of how I got paid. That Trump can be a whirling dervish in the Oval Office means less than nothing to me. Results do.

    As with most of Trump's "gut" decisions, the Results are often far reaching and slow to develop, therefore hard to judge on a daily basis. Many gut "accomplishments" can have profound long term effects. This I find troubling.

    Lee, I think I've figured it out, but let me get this straight.
    Your primary nitpick is the hair...
    If Trump changed his hairstyle to be like yours, everything would be okay and you would re-elect him today.
    I see you have posted pictures of your cats that also wear Trump styles, and no doubt they are independent, ignore you, consider you irrelevant and don't give a damn what you think. I can see where you're coming from with your mocking. I'm suspect Trump feels the same way about you.
