Playing a round of golf isn't vacationing. It's no different than Obama shooting a game of hoops or Bush riding his bike. Trump also does a lot of negotiating while playing golf. If he went out to dinner or lunch to talk with someone would it really be any different?
When Trump starts doing a bad job as president, I'll care what he does for exercise or socializing. Since I feel he's the best president we've had in the last century, his golfing doesn't bother me I guess.
So we should just ignore all of those tweets of Trump's where he is hyper-critical of President Obama for playing golf? Because now that Trump is doing it, it's no longer bad?

You already gave him that title after only two months in, wow. I mean you have no clue how these next four years are going to turn out, no clue. I would not go out on a limb and say that about anyone, no matter who that person is this early in the game. He could actually term out to be the worst, and them what. A whole lot can happen in the years to come. This is something people usually say at the end or near the end of a term, but not this early in term.
The issue just isn't that he is golfing a bunch. Everyone can have differing opinions on what is golfing too much or not. However, Republicans constantly complained about how much Obama golfed. Trump ranted about how much Obama golfed, yet he is currently golfing at twice the rate Obama did during his 8 years in office.
Why does no one on the right think this is entirely unacceptable, especially considering how much Obama got attacked for going on occasion?
To make matters worse, these are on Trump owned golf courses, so tax payers are paying him for these outings.
What is wrong with this? Most of the Obama criticism came when he took days and days off to fly to Hawaii, no one was griping about the actually amount of golf he was playing.

Even you know this is disingenuous, nita. Your own hero, Mr. Trump, was griping about it, in tweet after tweet after tweet for eight years. It's not difficult to find those tweets online if you are really interested, which I suspect you are not.
It's really sad when formerly rational Republicans buy into Trump's BS and defend it. It's all party above country to them.

"The Job" at the presidential level never ends. Doesn't matter where he is. People who don't know this are being pretty simple minded.
SO with that said, would agree that Trump was being "simple minded" when he tweeted so many times about how Obama was playing golf too often??
