8. Out pacing by nearly double at current pace....

Obama: 333 into 8 years is roughly 42 rounds per year.
42 into 52 is roughly 1.2 or every 8.4 days a round of golf.

Trump: 16 rounds in 79 days is 4.9 or one round every 5 days.

I don't have a problem with a president recreating with golf.

I do have a problem with him profiting with tax money while doing it. Since he recreates at courses he owns, eats/stays at properties he owns, then it stands to reason he's making money while recreating on the tax payer dime. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE!

His actions speak loud and clear: he has no issue with his businesses collecting fees/profiting from housing/feeding his security, which is paid for with tax monies. Yet he expects tax payers to be fine with eliminating/cutting the very funds that feed, house, administer health care and general safety care for poor/disabled elderly. AND says the voters told him this is what they want when they voted him in!

He obviously won't use a course near the white house thereby forcing that total cost on society. If there were no course close to the WH, it would make sense he visit his in Florida.

Regardless, the costs incurred for travel/security/meals and incidentals add up. He's on track to incur these costs 292 times in 4 years. All while he wants to cut housing assistance/food assistance/medical assistance for thousands of elderly, poor and disabled.

How can this not be against the law?
