Personally, his golfing doesn’t bother me at all. Any number of Presidents participated and Eisenhower was known for spending a lot of time on the links.

“Personally, his golfing doesn’t bother me at all.”

It would bother you if you played the game...it’s like watching a four year old in his big brothers shirt pretending to be an athelete...

Eisenhower didn’t work 9-5, M-F, and took weekends off. He also didn’t do a big spread in Parade magazine about how Dad’s should spend Father’s Day with their children and then go golfing.

Ike worked and used golf to relax.

Also the media went after both Bush’s if they golfed when something was happening but ZERO gets a pass. Double standard at play or most of us wouldn’t say that much.

ZERO will do anything to get out of the WH and didn’t golf until he became President so now it is a way to get out of the WH and away from the phone so to speak. Cannot have world affairs interferring with his weekend.

His playing golf doesn't bother me either, but his choice of courses does. He is playing courses at military bases on Sunday afternoons. I would be surprised if this did not result, for security reasons, in the course pretty much being shut down for anyone else that afternoon. Lots of our military men and women want to play golf on a nice Sunday in June too.

Other Presidents (Eisenhower, Ford, the Bushes and Clinton) have played their golf at private clubs, where the members have more options about when and where to play, so the disruption is not so severe.

This is just one example of many of our Narcissist in Chief enjoying the perks of his office without regard to the comfort or convenience of anyone other than himself.

I wish he would spend 24/7 at the golf course.
