After repeatedly criticizing Barack Obama for his golfing habits, the hypocrisy meter is flying off the charts as Donald Trump has visited his golf course half a dozen times in the span of a single month in office.
For some reason, though, Trump’s team won’t admit that he’s actually golfing when he drops by his Sunshine State courses.
According to a new report from CNN, “[Trump’s] aides are trying to obscure whether Trump is actually golfing during the visits.”
Goodness, I can’t imagine why.
Could it have anything to do with the fact that Trump spent an entire campaign season waging attacks – like this one – on his predecessor?
Video:
“I don’t have time for that. I love golf, I think it’s one of the greats, but I don’t have time,” Trump said on the campaign trail in 2015. “We don’t have time for this. We have to work.”
On Twitter, President Obama’s golfing habits were brought up by Trump on numerous occasions, as this image from Brian Klaas points out:
One tweet read: “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter.”
Despite these attacks, Trump has spent three weekends in a row at his Mar-A-Lago Estate in Florida, where he has visited his nearby golf courses a half dozen times. Obama, on the other hand, didn’t play his first round of golf until the end of April in his first term.
The difference, of course, is that former President Obama led a scandal-free administration that saved the economy from a second Great Depression, revived the American auto industry, disposed of Obama bin Laden, and provided health insurance to more than 20 million Americans – to name a few.
On the contrary, Trump’s White House has been a magnificent dumpster fire, plagued by scandal and incompetence literally from day one. Perhaps he should finish reading his job description before jetting off to Florida every weekend.
To paraphrase the president, can you believe that, with all the problems and difficulties facing the new administration, that Trump has spent every weekend of his first month as president playing golf?
