Well, now we know what Trump is doing with his “executive time,” besides watching Fox & Friends. He’s playing Pretend Golf in a room of the White House.
President Trump has installed a room-sized “golf simulator” game at the White House, which allows him to play virtual rounds at courses all over the world by hitting a ball into a large video screen, according to two people told about the system.
That system replaced an older, less sophisticated golf simulator that had been installed under President Obama, according to two people with knowledge of the previous system.
Trump’s system cost about $50,000, and was put in during the last few weeks in a room in his personal quarters, a White House official said.
He paid for it himself, too – what a big boy.
President Trump has built his schedules around long blocks of “executive time” — unstructured periods in the day where the president’s schedules show no official meetings. He often spends this time watching TV, tweeting, holding impromptu meetings and making phone calls, aides have said.
And eating ice cream and playing Pretend Golf.
Trump — then a businessman and conservative celebrity — repeatedly criticized Obama for spending too much of his presidency playing golf. “Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf?” Trump wrote on Twitter in October 2014.
As president, however, Trump has played golf more often than Obama did: Obama played about 38 rounds a year, vs. about 70 per year for Trump. That’s just the outdoor kind of golf: The Post could not obtain statistics on Obama’s virtual golf-playing.
Silly Post; they’re overlooking the scoring system. You have to multiply the times Obama played by 5 because his daddy was from Kenya, by 3 because he went to Columbia, by another 3 because he went to Harvard, by 10 because [you know]. Trump on the other hand gets to discount by half because he’s from Queens.
The more time Trump golfs, the less time he spends fucking up everything else. Now if his phone could be plugged into a pretend network, instead of the actual internet, his twitter rants could serve a similar purpose. He could be a tree falling in the White House that nobody hears.
Pfft OB you stuped idiet, Trump doesn’t get discounts from behavioural standards, he gets total exemptions. You really a moran sometimes!
Well, his behavior is certainly exemptional.
I am still amazed at the damage he can do even with as little time as he actually devotes to fucking everything up
BKiSA, it’s not all that surprising if you consider that it could take a master sculptor months, if not years to turn a block of marble into a sublime work of art. After all that work, any fool with a heavy hammer could reduce it to rubble in seconds. It’s far, far easier to break something than to make it. That’s why Trump is all about dismantling and breaking everything rather than actually working to do something worthwhile. In fact, the only thing he’s determined to improve is his personal wealth. He’s not even bothered about building a legacy for himself; he’s having to much fun destroying Obama’s.
At the same time, though, he may be building Obama up to look much better in contrast. Coming between Dubya and Donnie from Queens, Obama’s middle-of-the-road, status-quo preserving presidency looks like much more than it was…funny if Trump actually ends up building a legend around Obama, huh?
