The Trump Administration continues to lie to the American people this morning claiming he's hard at work with a full schedule at Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach monitoring the situation of US Navy" missing and making calls all week about Tax Reform.
After learning that Trump was golfing rabid supporters overlooked the lie, insisted that Trump is the hardest working president, deserves a vacation and insist that Obama spent more time and money golfing than Trump which is a blatant lie.
They refuse to deal with the facts and the fact that Trump said he would be too busy to golf. Trump spends approximately $3.3 Million per weekend every time he visits Palm Beach and he is staying for six days this time, not two.
This is Trump's eighth visit to Mar-A-Lago and Palm Beach since taking office. His 99th day at a Trump Property, 74th day golfing. While on the grounds of Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach he rents golf carts to the Secret Service and the money gets funneled back into the pockets of the Trump Family. This is a blatant violation of the Emoluments Clause and three law suits have been filed.
Here are the facts.

Who plays more golf: Donald Trump or Barack Obama?

For years, President Donald Trump criticized his predecessor Barack Obama for playing golf while on the job.
"Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf," he tweeted Oct. 13, 2014.

But since taking office, Trump has been a regular visitor at his own golf clubs in Florida and Virginia — so far outpacing Obama in the amount of time he spends on the green.
As Trump's presidency goes forward, we'll keep tally of how many times he plays golf and how that compares with Obama at the same point in his presidency on what we're calling our Trump Golf Tracker.
The score so far?
So as of November 13 in the first year of each man's presidency, the score is Trump 35, Obama 24.
Obama's first game as president was April 26, 2009. He went on to play 333 times total over his eight years, according to CBS White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracked Obama's games.
It's not as easy to track Trump's game as you might think.
His staff has on several occasions declined to confirm he played golf while spending the day at his golf club. So in some cases, we have to rely on reporters' observations and those of private citizens who spotted Trump on the course and posted pictures on social media.
