Trump's aides don't want to admit the President is golfing

West Palm Beach (CNN)President Donald Trump has made visiting his Florida golf courses a near every-weekend habit in the first month of his administration, and his aides are trying to obscure whether Trump is actually golfing during the visits.

One possible reason: Trump was a frequent and vocal critic of President Barack Obama's golf habit, regularly slamming the former president for playing golf with many pressing issues before the country. Trump even suggested during a 2016 event in Virginia, in a knock on Obama, that if elected he was "not going to have time to go play golf."

If the President is playing golf, he’s playing golf. No big deal...don’t hide it.
The president will have to suffer the slings of “hypocrite”.

Trump will accomplish more deals and diplomacy for our country on the golf course than Obama ever did inside the Oval Office.

I’m going to say it. There is nothing wrong with this President playing golf. As with Abe, he is engaging in fairway diplomacy.

Yesterday he had cabin fever, today he has been golfing for the last month. It’s so hard to keep up.

Seems like we need a "golfing game" fund raiser.

$1 for every birdie; $5 for every eagle.

Go Mr President !!

They had to drag Obama off the Golf Course when Defense Secretary Pineta decided to OK the operation to get Osama.

I love the picture of Obama sitting in the Situation Room wearing the borrowed Suit Jacket over his Golf Shirt.

Still can’t figure out why they didn’t capture Osama instead of killing him, but that’s a topic for another Thread.

It is going to backfire on them. I hope.

Many see the 24/7 attacks and don’t like it.

Oh, poor widdle CNN. Trump won’t let them be their buddy and follow him on the golf course to see what he’s doing.

IIRC, Obama didn’t let them follow him either.
