Trump has gone golfing much more than Obama did. Liar!
Not even close to true that Obama played more golf than Trump.

As of late May, Trump had spent all or part of 248 days at a golf course, per @markknoller data; Obama had played 98 rounds at the same point of his presidency. https://t.co/UqtdTb03JT pic.twitter.com/QZAUvaQ5oT
For what it’s worth, Trump has played far, far more golf than Obama had at the same point in his first term.

The main reason anyone cares is that Trump repeatedly attacked Obama for playing so much golf.

Trump tried to deflect criticism by doing more Obama-bashing: “Barack was always playing golf.”

Remember when Trump used to criticize President Obama for golfing?

So far his golf trips have cost taxpayers more than $134,000,000 — 335 years of presidential salary.
It's not just that Trump went golfing today, it's that at the height of a pandemic, he's at his other job: making promotional appearances at his struggling business empire. https://t.co/ANxplTv2qH

A pathological narcissist acts only in what he believes to be his own interests, so he’s incapable of perceiving any conflict at all. https://t.co/g45x7Q0xZs
