Alright....fair enough.

The question then becomes why, other than politics, are you judging their golfing and vacation time so differently? Trump also said he'd be too busy to vacation or play golf in office, yet you justify it as 'doing business' but somehow Obama is judged differently.

As for proving me a prevaricator, asking you to show evidence for your statement is not a lie. I had not heard that before and asked for proof. You provided it.

I also backed up my statement about this President.

I have been on this site for many years and all I heard for the last 6 years years is the right wing on OPP b***h about how much golf Obama was playing.

Trump during his campaign at his N**i rallies would send his supporters into a frenzy when he told the American people I will not have time to play golf like Obama has, I will be to busy running this country. ( HIS BASE WENT WILD WITH APPLAUSE)

So let’s take a look and the facts are in based on Trumps first 2 years and 91 days of comparing Trump golf versus Obama golf. (UNLIKE OBAMA WHEN TRUMP SUPPORTERS B***HED FOR YEARS ITS NOTHING BUT CRICKETS NOW)

Based on Obama and Trump during the first two years and 91 days.

Trump has played 2.6 times more than Obama and Trump has cost the federal tax payer $97 million which Trump has profited from a lot of it. WE WILL GET INTO GOLF RESORT EXPENDITURES ON A NEW TOPIC I AM RESEARCHING IT NOW)

Keep in mind this is based on the first 2 years and 91 days.

Trump has spent 170 days playing golf versus 65 days for Obama. Trump is expected to play golf at least 302 times in his first term. That’s almost more than Obama in 8 years.

Trump played golf 98% of the time at his privately owned golf courses. Obama played and greatly preferred Andrews Air Force Base a limo ride from the White House 58% of the time. While Trump had to fire up The Helicopter and Air Force One load up his Security people and staff. Trump profited from room rentals and food for his staff and security force. Trumps golf courses alone charged over $300,000 just for golf carts.

Trumps favorite courses were a tie between Trump International and Trump National Bedminster. Obama’s was Andrews Air Force Base.

Trumps cost over the first 2 years and 91 days cost the American tax payers $97,000,000 President Obama was $23,000,000.

(BUT TRUMP SUPPORTERS ON OBAMA B***HING SCREAMING LIKE CHILDREN TRUMP NOTHING BUT CRICKETS)

Wa, wa, wa. Very few intelligent people I know (including me) ever begrudged President Obama a few rounds of golf; all Presidents need a great deal of recreational time to prevent the extreme demands of the job burning them out.

It was not me who called you a prevaricator, I simply showed the sources you requested.

I am not judging their golfing and vacation times differently. Trump is a very successful Real Estate businessman. Negotiating is something he probably did as a businessman every day. Obama was not a businessman, and I suspect he just played golf for the sake of playing golf. But I don't know that for sure - it's just my opinion. I do know that Trump actually did say he gets a lot of business done and develops great relationships with people all over the world on a golf course. I don't think that because he became President that negotiating on a golf course would stop. He specifically does NOT allow the press to be on any course while he is playing golf. A golf course has less "eyes" and "ears" than an office in a building...and it's easier to conduct business more privately there.

Quote from Trump from a Golf Digest article in 2015:
"...the beauty of golf is that you develop relationships, and you can make deals on a golf course. And I’ve often said that I don’t mind that Obama plays a lot of golf. He should play with people who can help the country, like if he played more with Boehner, and if he played more with maybe foreign leaders, it would be a wonderful thing. Many of the foreign leaders play golf and love golf.

And you get to know people, you get to know them better on a golf course than anywhere else. I’ve said it many times, so many of the deals I’ve made are because of golf. Not because I play well or somebody else played well. It’s because you develop a camaraderie with people on a golf course that you could never develop over lunch or dinner. And some of my deals were made because I developed a relationship on a golf course."
