At least two media publications falsely reported over the weekend that President Donald Trump went golfing on Saturday.
The New York Daily News reported that Trump went golfing for the ninth time since taking office, before referencing old tweets of his that criticized former President Obama for playing golf.

The Daily News, however, used the meeting venue to tee off on Trump.
It must be Saturday–the president went golfing.
President Trump–who regularly lambasted his predecessor for spending too much time playing the sport–is golfing for the ninth time since taking office seven weeks ago.
The president is golfing at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, Va., lunching with a few members of his Cabinet–and taking the time to OK the firing of U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
So far, Trump is teed up to be one of the most prolific golfers to hold the Oval Office.
The Hill also reported on Trump's visit to his golf club. The report discussed the president meeting with members of his Cabinet, but the Hill used an old picture of Trump playing golf on its Twitter account, potentially leading viewers to assume that he was out golfing again rather than conducting business.

The American Mirror flagged the two reports, noting that Obama played 306 rounds of golf while in the White House, according to Golf Digest.
Losers in lockstep.
Latest breaking news: Trump need three wipes to get his ass clean!
The media consists of nothing but phallus inhalers who are happy to lie to promote their agenda. They’re all bad, except for the Washington Times. Even the WSJ - it’s a fake conservative paper. Phoney, fraud.
Maybe he did, maybe he didn’t, but difference is, when Trump plays with the head of Japan or China, he’s working, he’s dealing, he’s negotiating, unlike the imposter in chief who was just “playing” golf with himself and few cronies.
Everyone that lives on the East Coast right now know what the weather is like and what it was like on Saturday...
What these ‘very fake news’ people are doing is just writing something to keep their jobs, they don’t care if it lies, they don’t care how it sounds, they have to do something...
Just like that they are doing with the ‘Michael Brown’ story, that lying POS article got someone shot...do they care...Hell No!!! It was something they WANTED to do, not that it had any truth in it other than the name of the person, the rest were lies...
Very Fake News: Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies, Lies!!!
That's really what the MSM is annoyed about...
Trump goes to Trump Mar-a-Lago on the weekends.
Trump goes to the Trump International Hotel for dinner.
Trump goes to the Trump Tower in New York City for meetings.

When do the mediots of the MSM lie about Trump?
It was freezing here this weekend. Nobody was out golfing.
and another big difference is that if he were playing golf while some tragedy took place, he would immediately stop his game and attend to the issue- whereas obama would be upset that ‘someone had interrupted his game’ to give him the news- and he would keep playing
So what if he did?
This is TRUMP we’re talking about. He wasn’t messing with tiny little golf balls. The guy was BOWLING! Measure up...media!!!
Strange, I don’t recall the media being so interested in the President playing golf for, oh, the past 8 years....
The Daily News is run and staffed by angry leftists. Some of their opinion writers two-time at the Daily Beast.
Monkey see, monkey do.
The only time the President played a round was with the Japanese PM.
Do these people have any idea how much business gets conducted on golf courses every day in America?
Contrast that to BHO who played 333 rounds (badly), nearly a fully year of golf with the same few buddies. BHO was just goofing off.
They had their articles criticizing Trump for playing golf all written and ready to go. It seemed like a shame to wait until he actually played golf to run them.
Obama played 306 rounds of golf while in the White House, according to Golf Digest.
That's a round of golf three out of every four weeks his entire time in office. Incredible!
