He's played... Wait, let's look at his predecessors first.
Barack Obama who was relentlessly mocked for spending so much time on the links by a world renowned birther, spent 105 days in all four years chasing the little white ball, mostly at military courses.
In his first year in office, Trump played 87 times at an average expense of $1million per outing, including cart rental and Coast guard protection. The next year was nearly 100 times for a total of 308 at the end of his term. He played 19 times his first 100 days, beginning February 4th. He enjoyed his favorite pastime, behind crushing democracy, 308 times while collecting the salary he said he didn't want.
Joe Biden played his first game as president on his 89th day in office and racked up a total of nine times at the end of his first year. That's it. Nine times. I can just see the disgusted look on Tucker Carlson's face.
