(642 posts)take note that this isn't just Trump going against his campaign promise to play less golf.
What Trump is doing is playing golf at HIS golf resorts and using those visits to steal money from US Taxpayers and put it directly in his pocket. The excessive prices he is charging his Secret Service detail for staying at HIS resorts and hotels is going directly into his pockets.
Track his golf visits but also track the amount of money he is stealing.

(13,003 posts)in 2015, using Obama's number of golf outings against him! Trump told his crowd that he wouldn't have time for any golf he would be so busy running the nation...........Then, in just his first term, Trump's golf outings were already equal to Obama's golf games during his entire eight years in office........
LPBBEAR
(642 posts)But the reason he is doing is that he is using it as another of his many methods to steal money from us, the taxpayers. That needs to be pointed out front and center right along with his lies about not golfing as President. He is a conman and a grifter looking for every opportunity to rob us.

(13,003 posts)taking AirForceOne to any of many golf courses in the U.S. and overseas, I was wondering what THAT cost the U.S. Taxpayers.
I saw a figure of the cost of AF1 for one of his trips as 180K, which is so ludicrous it is laughable.......When all is considered, I can only guess that the true cost of just ONE trip, is probably over ten million just for a trip here in the U.S.

(642 posts)someone else was tracking his golf trips during his last term. My memory is foggy on the numbers but as I remember he only visited 2 or 3 golf courses that weren't his during the 4 years he was in office the first term. I believe they were all golf courses in countries where he had none. All the others he visited were his. Most of the money spent on these trips either went into his pocket or was additional tax payer funds wasted on flights to get to his golf courses. We paid for it all.

(24,795 posts)Trump doesn't play golf. He does something on a golf course using golf clubs and golf balls but it isn't golf.
Trumps cheats. He despoils a marvelous sport with his boorish, disgusting and unsportsmanlike conduct. Asked if he cheats at golf, Trump replied, "I cheat on my wives. I cheat on my taxes. Of course, I cheat at golf." It's a funny story but it's probably one of the very few times Trump has had any personal insight or self-awareness.
Sorry to be a golf purist but Trump doesn't play golf. He cheats and honesty is the core of the game.
There's an adage that states that if you want to know the true character of someone, play a round of golf with them. The ups and downs of the game will give an intimate insight into the personality and values of the person. From all published reports, Trump is the worst of playing partners and everything we've seen of him underscores that he's despicable.
