Here is why people are obsessed with Trump's golfing:

"As a private citizen, Donald J. Trump was repeatedly critical of President Obama’s fondness for relaxing with a round of golf.“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.” Mr. Trump tweeted on Oct. 13, 2014. “Worse than Carter.”
“We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies,” he said a day later. “Then we pay for his golf.”
Then for a third time that month, Mr. Trump tweeted about Mr. Obama’s golf habit on Oct. 23, 2014.
“President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf!”

BTW, I don't do "micro-aggression". I do "macro-aggression". LOL

Default Can conservatives just come clean and admit that they were hypocrites when it came to Obama's vacationing?

No they can't.

We know Trump is a hypocrite and liar because he criticized Obama for his vacations and said he would never do it; and now he is golfing like every 4th or 5th damn day like an addict.

So, simple question to conservatives: given that you are obviously supportive of Trump's much greater vacationing frequency (at taxpayers' expense), do you have enough integrity to admit that you were wrong about Obama's vacationing?


Simple question. Yes or no.
Your entire post is made up.
Again conservatives didn't support trump. The anyone but hillary crowd did.

So simple question to the OP, do you have enough integrity to admit that you were wrong about conservatives complaining about obamas vacation?

Simple math. I have calculated it, and so far Trump has gone on vacation about 50 days to his resorts, which is approximately 26% of his term. And that's not even counting the 17 day vacation he is about to take. Obama took 26 days of vacation during his first YEAR in office. Trump is costing us an arm and a leg with all the paid breaks he's taking.

OP, c'mon... you should know better.

Obama had to do much more than Trump to get into the white house, and was still subjected to more disrespect for one reason, and one reason alone: because he is half black.

You can try to get them to back off the piddly stuff like vacations and whatever, but the root cause has always been racism.

Agreed.

Hell no, they will never admit it.

They will spin it around and make it about something else. It’s what they do
