The Presidents' role is extremely stressful and extremely important, to say the least. I think it has been shown time and time again that taking downtime to refocus and refresh is crucial in any role.

I understand that there is a "cost of downtime" associated with a Presidents' vacation time, but these "running of tallies" and "keeping track of vacation time" for any sitting US President seem a bit malicious, micro-manage-y and come across jealous.

It's as if the person tracking the President's downtime thinks the President deserves zero time off, ever.
In this case, it also is because of the hypocrisy. Trump was one of the people constantly and loudly complaining and monitoring how much golf Obama played. He also said he wouldn't do much golfing. He set himself up for this.

What lies ?

How many lies have the libs and liberal media told .

remember the world was supposed to end if Trump got elected .

Now we have the strongest economy in decades and signs of peace in the Korean Peninsula.

Wonder how many thousands of articles promised Trump would mean the end of the world . Why do you still trust them ?

Simple question.

Did Trump say this?

"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf. Believe me."

Yes, yes he did.

And has he, in fact, played nearly three times as much golf to date already than Obama did in the same time period?

Yes, yes he has.

Refute that if you can.

Or deflect, which is all you've done so far here.

Yes.

Deflection, deflection, deflection.

But...but...but...HILLARY! OBAMA!

Which still does nothing to refute the fact that Trump said he would not have time for golf, nor the fact that he has played three times as much golf as Obama to date, a president who Trump was very vocally critical of for playing golf.

Okay, your turn to deflect some more now...
