Does Trump play more golf that Obama did while he was President? And whose golf habits cost the U.S. tax payer more?

The answer is yes. Trump has played 2.6 times more golf than Obama in his first 2 years and 91 days and has cost the tax payer an estimated $74 million more than Obama.

Do you have evidence that Obama made money corruptly while president? If so, that's a big deal, and ought to be investigated.

If you're just complaining that Obama has made a lot of money SINCE leaving office, then what is this--wealth envy? Obama took advantage of the free market--the same market that made Trump his millions--and you complain?

If some publisher offers Obama a multi-millionaire book deal, and he says yes, what's the complaint?

Wealth envy is an ugly thing.

Jim

I personally have no evidence that Obama increased his wealth through extralegal means...

However, I can provide piles of instances where he lectured us on the ills and evils of income inequality.

Don't tell me that rich people are evil and greedy but somehow when you amass wealth that you're different.

THAT is hypocrisy.

Mike

and yet...he's better for America than Obama ever was!

and Obama must not be too bright if he paid 15 million for an ocean-front property that he believes will soon be underwater.

Deflection.

Jim

So is this:

Well, he has done 10X the work in two years than O'bummer did in 8

kinda like when you brought Trump into this discussion?

Obama's net worth increased by about twenty million WHILE he was in office.

He has to at least try to get this thread booted..... It's his game.

When Keith posted a reference to the golfer-in-chief, I naturally assumed he meant our current commander-in-chief, who is not Obama. It is Trump. So the subject of presidential golfing was not brought up by me.

And say, what about the facts of presidential golfing that I posted? Can't refute those, even though I can hear the Googling from here.

Jim

deflection.

So from now on when someone refers to the "golfer-in-chief," there won't be any misunderstanding that it's someone other than Trump. Right?

Jim

Spot on post, Keith.

Jim

Another point on which we agree.

Jim

I’d say you are probably spot on, but it’s just what we do. We don’t feel the need to force everybody else to do it for us to do it.

It’s much the same with charity, most conservatives are generous because they choose to, most liberals are waiting to be charitable until somebody makes everybody be charitable. lol

Well that pretty much squashes Uncle Joe’s claim that “poor kids are just as smart as white kids.” lol

So we have concluded that Trump is the golfer in chief, and Al Gore thinks he's special and environmental rules should apply to others but not himself.

Jim

I'll buy that.

only, I'd add that unless they sell their ocean-front properties CHEAP!, give up their A/C, private jets (all air travel, even), and fossil fuel energy consumption; all liberals are just as hypocritical as AlGore.
