Trump urges Americans to work harder despite spending 22% of term golfing

Kissinger lived till 99. Hatred seems to impart longevity somehow.
I feel like the despicable you are and the more people hate you, the longer you live. That certainly explains Kissinger and other real life villains

Est. cost to taxpayers for golf since returning to office: $51,800,000
Perhaps you would not mind paying his golf bill then.
Edit to add: this is roughly $340,789 per day of golfing. Or over 21 years worth of pretax income for someone making minimum wages... for 1 day of golf. Meaning at minimum wages it would take you 3,200+ years to pay for what trump has golfed so far this term. Provided you only put the entirety of your paycheck to that bill.
Not for nothing, but the headline of the article is talking about time spent golfing, and so is neon_nova's comment.
The thing the President did isn't the problem, or really even the frequency. The problem is the cost to the taxpayer.
'20,000 American's pay for President's golf habit' would be a better title.

Work harder for my riches, plebs!
"work harder for my riches, you MAGA bitches!"

Which includes room and board for his SS detail.
You know were are in a dystopian time when I have to figure out you mean SS as in Secret Service, not the Schutzstaffel.

Every MAGA is going to volunteer to work on Saturdays, and every holiday, right? Dear Leader requires it.
God only got one day of rest, you deserve more rest than God?

Eight days so far during 'work week' time. If he was going on his own dime, this wouldn't be worth talking about.
It just makes a better talking point to say 'he's golfed 37 days out of 152' despite it not being about how he's using his weekends (assuming we hold government to the same 5 on 2 off standard as most of us have) when it's really about how much it's costing.
A better headline would be 'President spends income tax of 20,000 Americans on personal entertainment'.
Agreed, but the person I'm responding to made a point about weeks vs. weekends.

Of course, Trump is the biggest business idiot in the country. He was largely elected because he is the big, dumb mascot of business idiots.

I realize this is not the onion but does anyone have a different source?
This looks fake

I keep seeing Ed's site posted everywhere and we need to promote the HELL out of him!!! It seems he is the only person actually making sense today. I send his articles to everyone I know and urge them to read it.

The other 78% he reneges on nuclear agreements in place since a decade and threatens war on the behalf of a country that starts with I, probably the Ivory Coast, or maybe Iceland, to blow up another country that starts with I, maybe Italy.
Maybe he sees all these Is and thinks "Yeah, I'm awesome."

I'd recommend Thomas Piketty's 'Capital in the 21st Century' if you're into the deep economics side of all this. Its a bit dense, but really hammers home the point that the period from ~1940 - 1980 in the US was the ONLY period where wealth inequality was declining and therefore it was easier for people to believe that we lived in a meritocracy of some kind where 'adding value' at work actually did lead to added wages. That period has ended, and now inequality and trickle-up economics are reaching all time highs, with no apparent limit in sight.

I love that CNN headline. “Is he right?” Instead of “lel”. Absolute ghouls running this world.

No, I don’t think so.
Biden golfed a total of nine times.
Obama spent 3% of his time golfing.
Trump, 22-25%, depending on the source.
This is crazy shit, a dictator stating people should work harder while spending 1/4th of his time on the course. The presidency isn’f supposed to get weekends off.

Biden & Obama weren't a golfer though... so looking at just golf is dumb for them.
https://nypost.com/2025/02/15/us-news/biden-took-off-577-days-in-4-years-tops-modern-era-presidents/
Biden’s out-of-office ratio far surpasses time off taken by Trump — who spent 26% of his first term away from Washington, D.C. — 381 of his 1,461 days in office, records show.
Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama vacationed for just 11% of their two-term presidencies — and workhorse Jimmy Carter took only 79 days of breaks, accounting for 5% of his single term in office.
Obama was low, Biden was stupid high. Trump is in the middle here.

Not a single one of you will see any money from it, so better get working
Even better, you guys will probably need to extend the pension age up to 75 or so
Prepare for fun times
