Trump Setting Records for Playing Golf

CNN has been trying to get video of Trump playing golf at his Florida resort, but an anonymous white truck has been continually moving back and forward to block its camera.  It seems that the truck was parked in a spot reserved for a sheriff’s department vehicle-- and a similar truck was seen parked at the local sheriff’s department parking lot. A spokesperson for the sheriff's department would only say that the camera-blocking truck maneuver “was not authorized.”

The Trump administration is very sensitive as to how Trump is portrayed when away from the White House as Trump savaged Barack Obama for golfing during his administration.  Trump has been spotted on the West Palm Beach golf course on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, despite having tweeted that he’d be back to work the day after Christmas.

Trump's Wednesday trip to the golf course (under cover of the white truck) marked the 86th day he spent at one of his golf properties since he became president. It also marks his 112th day at a Trump-owned property since taking office.

Trump is on track to spend as much as three times as many days on the golf course as President Obama did in his first year in office.  Trump is also projected to have played more golf in his first year in office than President George W. Bush did in his entire eight years in office.
