Trump’s Golf Outings Soar Above First-12-Week Totals Of Obama, Bush, And Clinton
- 7 years ago
When it comes to golf outings, President Trump has already soared high above the achievements of his predecessors.
A president’s first 100 days are often seen as an indicator of whether or not the administration will ultimately be a successful one.
Though that period is still underway for President Trump, when it comes to golf outings, he has already soared high above the achievements of his predecessors, reports the New York Times.
According to the media outlet, Trump has, in his first 81 days, paid an estimated 17 visits to golf courses.
The Palm Beach Post suggests he has played 14 times.
At this juncture in their presidential careers, Barack Obama and George W. Bush had yet to set foot on the links, while Bill Clinton had done so 3 times, notes the Times.
Golf is considered by many to be an appropriate, stress-relieving activity for presidents, but there are certainly those who feel otherwise.
In fact, not long ago, Donald Trump himself was a champion of the no-golf-for-presidents movement.
He harshly criticized President Obama’s participation in the sport, tweeting jabs like, “PresObama is not busy talking to Congress about Syria...he is playing golf...go figure."
