    We did this the last time he was president. No one gave a shit. Which is a shame because he’s doing this on our dime.

      I certainly give a shit. I’m not king, though, so I can’t just spank him for it.

    It was the same bullshit the first time around and Americans smiled when they reelected him. Country full of idiots.

    When Obama played golf, he was the worst president ever. But when Trump plays it, he is the genius dealmaker.

    “I’m going to be working for you,” he told a campaign rally crowd in August 2016. “I’m not going to have time to play golf.”

    “I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again,” he said in February 2016, referring to the famous course he owns in Scotland. “I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he added, referring to the famous course he owns in Miami. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything – I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave?”

    I don’t know many people over 80 that don’t need a shit ton of daily assistance.

    They spend most of their time at home (or, all too often; forgetting where they even are)

        I mean yeah 100%, but when he’s gone all the money he wasted on golf will be limited… His legislation and appointments will fuck us for decades to come.

    So, just like he did during his first term? The guy is a grifter. All this time spend at his own hotels, etc, is to get the tax payer to fill his pockets. Cos its not just him, its all the staff as well. He’ll be raking it in, and it will be all tax payer money.

    Well, clearly they need to build a golf course on the White House grounds. Then he’d never need to leave.

      Or, maybe they could build something more vertical, out of wood, with a neck hole and a basket at the front
