...As a conservative, I hope other conservatives join me in complaining about Trump’s golf costs.
And I make the same complaint as an avid golfer.
The problem isn’t that Trump likes golf, or that he finds at least some time to play it. Rogan is right that presidents need relief from the stresses of the job, and golf is a salutary diversion. And the problem isn’t that presidential golf costs more than golf by anybody else, because of course security and other considerations make it so by necessity.

The president is not a potentate. The presidency does not carry with it the right to self-absorbed excess. If any other public official — the speaker of the House, for example, or the chief justice of the United States — were billing taxpayers to pay for him to fly across the country, frequently, on a whim, to play golf at some exotic locale, there would be official investigations into potentially criminal misuse of government funds.

I guess Mr. Quin DOOFUS (conservative???) discounts the fact that the President works longer hours than most people half his age AND gets twice as much done for the benefit of the country than ~535 legislators

He must be a totally Never-Trumper or
Had a term paper (opinion article) deadline and put it off until the last minute and couldn't think of an intelligent topic.
What a DOOFUS
But I repeat myself
FUQH! It OK for obama though, right?
I wonder if this Hillyer moron ever complained about Obama Osama Yo Mama’s endless golf outings?
And what’s this crap about “flying across the country, excessively?”
The president flies to south Florida from time to time because he has a home there. What’s the big deal?
At least his kids aren’t taking tax-payer funded junkets all over the world like Obama’s daughters (and mother-in-law).
Ridiculous and pathetic. Another Trump hater — they can’t find anything substantive against him, so now they try to pick on this.
Sourpuss Quin had the nerve to send a copy of this screed to me in email.
I was so disgusted, I unsubscribed (didn’t know I was subscribed) and I plan to write a reply to him.
Who is the retard that wrote this article?
I was just thinking to myself how much I resent Trump’s golf expenses, when - BAM! - this article appeared on FR.
Son of a gun!
Did this ASSHAT complain about Obammie’s excessive golf costs?????
Quin Hillyer @QuinHillyer Veteran conservative columnist and activist.
And faggot.

Has anyone kept count of the number of rounds of golf played by th last 10 Presidents? Methinks Trump does not plyt as much as the Magic Negro did.
Where was this author when the hussein family was taking exotic vacations?
What is you weren’t All American and only All Conference?
Try Kaneohe, Hawaii...
Obama's golf game in Hawaii forces Army captains to relocate wedding
There was a count eventually done on Obama. For 8 years, 306 golf days.
If you look at Trump....figure up 52 Saturdays in a year, and toss out 12 for bad or extreme weather, he’ll probably do 320 to 340 days of golf for the eight years.
All of this better than having a President who is a bronco-rider on weekends, and potentially injuring himself five or six times a year.
I’m told he often gets two scoops of ice cream at White House dinners while his guests get just one. The excess cost during a four-year term must be just outrageous. We, the taxpayers, are funding this and it should be stopped.
Seriously, does the media think ANYONE is dumb enough to buy these arguments?
A Lib.
"were billing taxpayers to pay for him to fly across the country, frequently,"
He’s been a Never Trunper since 2015.
I resent Pelosi’s flying cocktail lounge.
