Donald Trump Has Spent 1/3 Of His Presidency On Vacation At One Of His Private Clubs
Golfer-in-Chief Donald Trump spends another weekend at one of his private clubs playing golf.
For the 14th weekend in a row, Donald Trump is relaxing at one of his private clubs – this time at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. And according to a Washington Post analysis, Sunday makes “36 of the 108 days he’s been in office, a perfect one-third of the time” at a Trump-owned private club.
According to the Washington Post, “Going into the weekend, he’s played an estimated 18 rounds of golf (though the precise figure is necessarily unclear because the White House is purposely vague about when Trump’s playing). On four days since he took office, he’s visited Trump properties that have golf courses without playing, including the Thursday and Friday visits at Bedminster. (Golf wasn’t really an option when he arrived late Thursday night, mind you.)”
In a tweet, Trump tried to make the case that visiting his New Jersey resort was somehow a favor he is doing the taxpayers. “Rather than causing a big disruption in N.Y.C., I will be working out of my home in Bedminster, N.J. this weekend. Also saves country money!” Trump tweeted.
Of course, Trump left out the third option which is to get back on Air Force One and spend the weekend at the White House.
