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.

Playing golf isn't the problem. He flies in Air Force 1 to Florida every weekend to play golf with taxpayer's money. I have been supporting Trump even though I did not vote for him. It is ridiculous for him to fly to Florida every weekend. Stay in DC and perform his presidential duties.

And Trump's criticism of Obama's golf..

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter
When Trump made this tweet, Obama wasn't in Hawaii, no where near it, Obama was playing golf at Port Belvior (about 25 miles south of D.C)

Glad he's taking some time off. And many replies are likely right - he's still getting stuff done at the same time. Nice!!

Did he get the job done on Friday or just throw his hands up in frustration?

Seriously??

Like screwing up tRUMPcare; then walking away from it.
Screwing up the 1st travel ban and now in court on revised travel ban.
Insulting allies, right and left.
Oh...someone else finish the list; it's exhausting. I may have to hit the links.

Anti Trumpers have plenty of things to complain about, but golfing really isn't one of them. Trump is working harder than Obama. Period.
Obama didn't go out on the campaign trail until 2 years after he took office and he certainly didn't play golf every weekend. In fact, conservative watchdog groups like Judicial Watch estimate that in 8 years, the cost of Obama's vacations totaled $85 to $90 million. Trump might exceed that figure in one year. Also, Michelle didn't stay in Chicago, even though they had 2 young children in school.

I wonder if Trump will continue to call Mar-a-Lago the "winter White House" when he spends weekends there in May?

If it doesn't affect your life then yes, you shouldn't care. That goes for anything in life JAMS.

I don't think Trump realized how difficult being president is.

As CEO of his own billion dollar empire, he didn't have to answer to anybody about anything.

But as POTUS, everything he does is under a microscope and everything he says will be fact-checked and questioned. I don't believe he was prepared for that.
