I think your are confusing Trump with the Food Stamp President

On April 26, 2009 President Selfie even played a round on the day he declared H1N1 as a National Emergency.

Nope, but since you brought up the rounds of golf by Obama why don't you compare it with the rounds of Golf by Trump during this pandemic. See the comments in the spreadsheet.

That's not how this works. In America the President does NOT control the purse strings those come from..... Anyone? Bueller?

I am sure that we can all recall the last time Trump tried to use funds that he did have control over went (lawsuit) as to if the CiC had discretion to use them in a directed or only in a general manner.

You may have noticed that I said the Obama "administration" not Obama specifically, yet you went directly to Trump as though he is a person with dictatorial powers and he should have been meandering through every warehouse, storeroom and agency personally. No matter anyone's party affiliation an honest man would admit that 90% of this administration's time has been blockaded by Democrats and "never Trump" Republicans.

If you would be interested I recommend that you attempt reading all of the Federalist papers and any of the older civics textbooks from before everyone got so PC that they think a turd can be picked up by the clean end.

Like it or not Trump does actually own that course and does use that property as his home away from the White House and when you have something you enjoy doing on your property you tend to use it more.

I'm sure that whomever bought my old property isn't mining it for lead but using it as it's intended gun range out behind the house.

You must not have been watching the news when Trump stated sometime back that as President he had absolute power.

Edit: Add additional Info.

The conversation wasn’t about where he golf but what was happening in the country while he was golfing. A play out of someone play book to change the conversation instead of answering the question. I’m surprise you didn’t call that a nasty question.

Well he golfed during the impeachment too, of course that was also during the start of the coronavirus remember that one? Back when many people of the news and several senior Democrats said not to worry about coronavirus....

But as I said he was (for him) at home where it's basically his backyard and unless you think every other president worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week, then you shouldn't have an issue with that..

It's ok if you don't recall it since there has been so much going on.

As for the "nasty" question jab, I find it disingenuous that a reporter would ask a question and then take Trump's reply personally solely based on the fact that she was Asian. If the question was asked by an African nobody would be butthurt. This shows that when when people look for a reason to piss and moan then those people will take anything even innocuous things as a reason to piss and moan.

You must have forgotten what Mitch McConnell stated when President Obama was elected. Who blocked President Obama nomination to the Supreme Court when Judge Antonin Scalia passed away? Here let me remind you.
