The Twit tweets: ... My "exercise" is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf.

I know many in business and politics that work out endlessly, in some cases to a point of exhaustion. It is their number one passion in life, but nobody complains. My “exercise” is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf. Obama played more and much longer....

...rounds, no problem. When I play, Fake News CNN, and others, park themselves anywhere they can to get a picture, then scream “President Trump is playing golf.” Actually, I play VERY fast, get a lot of work done on the golf course, and also get a “tiny” bit of exercise. Not bad!

What absolute horseshit

Edit to add:

If he gets so much work done on the golf course, why could his own people not get in touch with him for three hours after he retweeted the "white power" video??

he's a cottage industry of fact checkers and his are 99.8% wrong. The other two per cent he gets right are about the names of his press secretaries.

Play your stupid game if you want, Mr. Republican Billionaire. But stop making US taxpayers foot the bill for your luxuries.

We have hungry and homeless people. They come first, not Republican billionaires who want to fart around on luxury fart offs on the links.

Sad.

Golf can be good exercise, if you’re walking 18. If you ride in a cart and think it’s exercise you are severely out of shape.

Words in a sentence for example “exercise” ...to me it says it’s not really exercise you just call it that.

Kinda like this ...Join today, receive a “free” yoga class...is it really free? What’s the deal?

“Tiny” bit of exercise...not even a little bit.

We use air quotes to portray sarcasm. Those are just air quotes. They are really “annoying”. See it doesn’t work!

"almost never" (contradiction in terms) ..."play fast" (it's golf not Chopsticks on a piano).."tiny bit of exercise" (he rides)...the moron calls it fake news when the media follows him around the golf course for hours...life's a bitch when the orange maggot can't gaslight...that's why g-d invented the 24/7 news cycle
