      Hmm. 🤔

      Pick your favorite, theres enough accurate nicknames for him. 😄

    1. @James Madison Trump did not play golf, once again, the media has successfully lied to you. If he does so it is his own golf course, you are not paying a dime.

    2. @Septembers Whisper
      CommieGroperFuhrer Trump charges our Secret Service to use his golf carts whenever he plays golf
      Keep smoking the crack or meth whichever Fox polit Bureau tells you to smoke

    1. @President of the Virgin Islands It’s all very true. We are by far the most powerful country in the world, untouchable almost; attacking us comes with great sacrifice. Venezuela is in the middle of a presidential crisis. The total amount of money in the world is anywhere from 5 to 80 trillion depending on the definition used, the worlds debt exceeds that by over a hundred trillion. The cause is fiat money, or numbers on a screen. It’s money that has value only in the thought of its value; easily manipulated in the shadows. Lastly the US budget(aka the amount of money we say we have/can pay to people) is over 700 trillion, our debt is a mere 21.8 trillion. So your comment is in every way, InCoRrEcT.

    2. @RedondoBeach2 It’s all very true. We are by far the most powerful country in the world, untouchable almost; attacking us comes with great sacrifice.

I exclaimed facts, I refuted with why, you denied it, I proved it. Thus, you either disprove me, or your “simply standing” comment can’t withstand this hot topic, see what I did there?

    3. @Vacnol You make it sound like 21 trillion is peanuts. We can barely even service the interest payment on that debt with tax dollars. Additionally, what does being “the most powerful country in the world” have to do with our financial situation. You’re conflating issues. As for Venezuela, their crisis is most definitely an economic crisis. Politics is a symptom of that crisis.

    1. His entire life is a cheat and a con. Why should golf be any different. (Also many golf pros with whom he has played, have said he cheats).

    1. American taxpayers pick up $118.3 million tab for Trump’s golf habit
      Funny how Repug-Bull-KLANs complained about Obama’s 88 days in 8 years vs Trumps 120 days a year
      Repug-Bull-KLANs continually prove you are racist

    2. @Joe Po I DO!! THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS I’M 71 LIVING IN WYOMING I SERVED 2 TOURS WITH THE 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION I HAVE 2 HONORABLE DISCHARGES I HAVE A MEDAL OF HONOR AND A PURPLE HEART WHAT CAN YOU CLAIM YOU HAVE AN APRON FROM BURGER KING OR A BLUE SMOCK FROM WALLYWORLD I’VE STARTED SEVERAL BUSINESS AND SOLD THEM I HAVE DONE EVERY JOB I NEEDED TO LEARN TO SUCCEED IN MY PLANS I NOW BUILD GAMING COMPUTERS FOR FUN I’M A RETIRED MASTER SARGENT OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY I FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOMS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE (SO I THOUGHT AND BELIEVED) INCLUDING TRUMPIAN CULT SUPPORTERS AND CROOKED LYING POLITICIANS

  1. Every trip to his golf course is going right into his pocket. Of course he’ll do it as much as possible. He’s scamming the American tax-payers right in-front of them. At least Democrats are smart enough to see through his pro-Russian snake oil speeches. #Remove!! #voteBlue2020!!

    1. He literally placed sanctions on Russia and had a two year investigation that resulted in nothing. But you have to ignore those things at all costs, right? Bet you wont even reply to this.

    2. American taxpayers pick up $118.3 million tab for Trump’s golf habit
      Funny how Repug-Bull-KLANs complained about Obama’s 88 days in 8 years vs Trumps 120 days a year
      Repug-Bull-KLANs continually prove you are racist

    3. @Vacnol Actually Congress did that dummy. Spin , spin the GOP . Place your bets which orifices the Russian money falls out . You are incredibly stupid .

    4. @keith parkhill Congress has to sign it, but the bill came from the presidents office. We’ve done more than just sanctions, including going after those behind the email hacks “legally”, and making our stance very clear if they would ever say, get aggressive. All actions of this administration.

  2. When he’s out of office, Congress should send him a bill for ALL of the golf outings!! That includes Secret Service, the golf carts, their rooms and food. Plus interest.

    1. Bud Fudlacker
      Obama would actually pay in less than one month the bill. Trump? He promised he would release his tax return 3 years ago when he gets elected and people are still waiting.

  3. when I saw the video of him driving onto the green in the cart I knew he was beyond help…
    you can bet good money that he cheats at golf… like everything else he does…
    fack I hate this guy !!!… >:(

  4. Oh, I hate him. I can’t stand him. He makes my skin crawl. How could anyone still support him? Lol Nothing makes sense anymore.

    1. @JDV that’s exactly what it’s like. Trump is living in this alternate reality and we’re just along on his delusional ride. Republicans will regret doing the right thing and removing him from office.

  5. So these are the ‘oranges’ of that statement: “i love to work…”
    Maybe work a KFC Bucket..!
    🙄 SMFH…
