The press hates him so they should be happy not following him around.

Not a word about Obama playing golf.

Every time Trump plays a round, look for the media to trash him for it.

It’s a lot better than Bill Clinton ditching the media to meet up with some hooker.

Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch ditches presidential work for golf.

Trump the magnificent ditches the press for work.

Guess which one pisses off the press.
