"If I were president I'd never leave the Oval Office. There's so much work to be done, I'd never have time to play golf."
-DJT discussing Obama's "frequent" golf outings


The lazy hypocrite in Chief.

What is it about golf that POTUS have to play it all the time? Is it a safe place outdoors where there won't be any listening devices? Obama suddenly took up the game after his political path was paved for him. Does he still play or did he give it up now that he doesn't have many confidential meetings any more?

The House of Cards' Francis and Claire Underwood would look like Abe Lincoln and Eleanor Roosevelt compared to the Donald!

It's a game for the upper-middle class and rich, who are the kind of people a POTUS will interact with. With the exception of Eisenhower, who liked golf, but wasn't too good at it, most presidents just do it for a convenient setting for a chat and do it more or less for a lark. Being in R.E. and resorts and rich, is probably why tRump is invested in a few sets of clubs and carts! Arnold Palmer he ain't!

The less "work" any politician does the better.

For somebody that always plays he still gets more done than Obama did in the last eight years - while paying homage to the people that voted him into office: Trump honors veterans at Celebrate Freedom Rally | Fox News. In Obama's two terms when did he give our servicemen/women, our police and firefighters any true credit for their service? When did Obama even listen to the voters that voted for him?

Yet Trump's most thought provoking 'homage' to veterans in the past was likening his 'struggles' to avoid getting the clap with service in Vietnam.

Not true. I believe he gave a speech to veterans just the other day in which he spent most of it whining about how mean everyone is to him. That's what passes for "homage" to the vets in a cultist mind.

Corry Booker compared storming the beaches at Normandy to the hero's of planned parenthood.

Who knew killing babies was held in such high regard by leftwingers.
