With the strength of the current economy you'd expect the deficit would at the very least be holding. Can someone explain why it is growing in the best economy in 50 years?

I liked the way Granny Clampet shot a “round of golf”. Wonder if she ever found a good way to cook it?

I thought Trump promised he wouldn't play golf while President.

That is nothing when compared to how much the many trips to his properties has cost the taxpayer. And with a little research, you'll find that visits to his properties by republican political groups and foreign officials has enriched him by many times more than the 400k he donates to charity.

On the subject of his golfing, it's comical how many seemed to forget that he often criticized Obama for his golfing and said that he would give it up if elected.“I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf,”

I like golf.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I am pretty sure he has been working. Check the economy lately? Check the stock market lately? Check the trade deals lately?, yes that's plural. Check the TDS level lately?, its off the wall. Nothin urinates off a dem more than a workin Republican President.

Just about every president has played golf. I imagine they always will. Got bigger things to worry about.

We are talking about taxpayer funded golf expenses here.
But, since you asked, yes, I do keep an Eye on the market. It has continued to be very good to me since I took a chance on doing my own investing just after Obama took office. I retired two years ago figuring I could easily make it on my pension alone. Each year since, the growth in that one account has grown by more than my highest annual salary. The market has done great while trump has been in office. That doesn't have anything to do with the cost of trumps, or his predecessor's, golfing habit.

I look to the president as a CEO and I as an investor in this great Country. If he is doing what makes the economy strong and good for the Country, workin on keepin the borders strong and in his spare time he has been able to keep our enemies at bay, well, heck, play an extra round or two, on me.

Grackle,

If and when he gives our enemies billions of dollars like your hero did, you will have a right to complain. A few million to golf and relax is a drop in the bucket compared to what your hero gave to the Iranians.

Jobs everywhere, stock market setting records, wages higher, fixing the trade imbalance, appointing conservative judges, trying to fix the immigration problem and build a wall to keep illegals out and you complain because he plays a few rounds of golf. You have no character other than to beech.

Imagine if the president was a beaver trapper. The cost of hip boots for the Secret Service alone would be staggering.

This is putting it in perfect perspective.

Again with the "Obama did....". It would not be so bad if those who use that as their fallback would mention the good that was done while Obama served too.
trump has done a great job keeping things moving along economically since being elected, no honest person can deny that.
The golfing, and the money it is costing taxpayers(subject of this thread), would not be nothing if it had been for the number of time trump himself complain about Obama doing it. I'm sure the good folks in trump's base were just as upset when people suggested that maybe Obama was playing too much golf when he was in office.

Grackle, every time a POTUS takes a dump it costs taxpayer dollars, more if he wipes twice. Your point?

Where do you suggest Mr Trump go visit? That fancy mansion the Nobamas bought on Martha's Vineyard?

BTW speaking of that, just how did they get the scratch to do that?
