Trump could be on track to triple Obama's time on the golf course

President Donald Trump could be on track to spend as much as triple the time former President Barack Obama did on the golf course in his first year in office -- and to play more than former President George W. Bush did in eight years in office.

Trump spent Saturday at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, marking the 81st day that the President has visited one of his golf courses -- and his fourth straight day at a club. It is unclear, however, whether Trump golfs each day he visits or how many rounds he plays when he does. White House aides rarely confirm that the President is golfing, but Trump did so himself on Friday, announcing that he was playing with golfing stars Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson.

By comparison, Obama played 333 rounds of golf during his eight years in office and at this point in the first year of his term had played 26 rounds, according to Mark Knoller of CBS News, who keeps detailed statistics of presidencies.

Many Americans -- and more than a few presidents -- play golf. Trump's golf outings are notable only because he repeatedly mocked Obama for the time he spent on the golf course and said he wouldn't have time if he were elected president. "If I win I may never see my property -- I may never see these places again," Trump said at an August 2016 event. "But because I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks."

"I'm not going to have time to go golfing, believe me. Believe me. Believe me, folks." So, I guess that was a lie?

2. Obama averaged 41 rounds of Golf per year.....

For Donald Trump to berate Barack Obama for all the Golf he played is beyond astounding. People know how to do math.

3. I feel kind of obligated to repeat this ...

When 45 says "believe me", it's a command. He's not saying it's true, just that you are to believe.

It's like the old stereotype of a hypnotist -- "Look into my eyes - You are in my power !" -- not, "I'm going to make the case that it would be good for you to look into my eyes and fall under my power", because actually it might not be good for you at all -- just do it because I said to.

I've never heard of anyone who uses the phrase "believe me" more often, nor anyone who is less worthy of believing. It's a phrase he uses solely for manipulation, hoping to convince his listeners, despite any justification for them to be convinced. He only knows how to SELL an argument, not construct one.

5. methinks Trumpy could use a bit more time on the basketball court

like Obama did and less time sitting in a golf cart.

BTW anyone know if Obama used a golf cart when golfing or did he actually walk?
We all know old fat ass wouldn't walk a step unless he was headed to a McDonald's.
