...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.

The Quinny Ninny BELIEVES all those LIES?? He’s not very smart.
Aren’t they throwing their desperation punches awfully early?
“it costs taxpayers huge sums every time the president plays golf”
This one owns his own plane, owns his own golf courses, not to mention doesn’t take a salary. I believe the only thing we pay for is security and with so many traitors in the Democrap/RINO party constantly being vicious, I don’t mind paying.
The only person they describe as using Golf as a means to an end was Lyndon Johnson. He didn’t enjoy the game but saw it as a good way to get people he was trying to influence alone for a day.
I am sure, that what the Obungler did, was fine with him. Iran, Russia, and China are threatening to blow up the whole freaking world, and this POS is worried about golf? What a POS.

I swear, I read that article and I could hear a lisp.
What’s next... complaining that Trump eats two scoops of ice cream? Oh... wait...
Absolutely. Not one freaking peepl
And don’t forget about Sleepy Joe.
I remember the naked swimmer shutting down streets just to play golf.
I remember the same type of remarks about President Eisenhower’s golf. Republican presidents are always mischaracterized as morons. And their golfing is always criticized. Always!
How many MILLIONS did 0bama spend flying him and his family back and forth to Hawaii, overseas vacations, many times taking different planes? I don’t recall this guy getting all worked up over that.
I found it interesting that three of the top four golfing Presidents, were Democrats. Wilson, Clinton, Obama. I never complained, not once.
Hell I did not even know played that much golf compared to the halfrican muslim that was filling up the White House and his boy friends before PDJT
You beat me to it. Exclamation mark was a nice touch.
