Trump plays 19 rounds of golf in 74 days, contradicting his past criticism of Obama

Donald Trump fills the headlines for many reasons, and one of the reasons is his involvement in the negotiations between the PGA Tour and the PIF regarding the merger. 

CNN reporters produced a lot of reactions, after sharing a video in which Donald Trump stressed during his campaign that he would never play golf because he would be too busy. 

Although his moves regarding tariffs are drawing reactions, the US president arrived at the golf course in West Palm Beach on Friday morning. The Republican leader planned to hold a meeting with important figures of LIV Golf and host the tournament at his property in Doral. 

Nevertheless, the public’s frustrations are growing day by day regarding Trump’s actions, especially after his involvement in golf.

According to data from TrumpGolfTrack.com, and as reported by Raw Story, the US president spent 19 days playing golf out of 74 days of his mandate (25%). 

Donald Trump was frustrated by Barack Obama’s actions

Well-known CNN journalists came up with interesting data. Namely, during his candidacy for the presidential elections in 2016, Donald Trump was often critical of Obama for playing golf.

“Obama, it was reported today, played 250 rounds of golf,” he said during his December 2015 speech.

“Everything’s executive order,” Trump said year after. 

“Because he doesn’t have enough time because he’s playing so much golf.”

Donald Trump also made similar statements during the 2016 rally, saying that Obama must leave golf courses and focus on other things.

“Obama better get off the golf course and get down there,” Trump said.

In addition, CNN shared another video from 2016, in which the Republican leader says that if he becomes US president, he has no intention of visiting Turnberry or Doral.

“If I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again.”- he said.

However, the public is outraged by his actions, considering that the current US president is more focused on his duties on golf courses, rather than on solving serious political and economic problems in the country.
