The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

While Americans continue to struggle financially...

Trump is golfing again this weekend!

"Trump has golfed 125 days out of 560 total days in office during his second term, amounting to roughly 22.3% of his presidency so far.
Approximately one golf outing every 4.5 days."

Est. cost to taxpayers for golf since returning to office: -$175,000,000

As we have been told, Presidents should not be wasting time playing golf!...
"Obama plays more golf than any human being in America, and I'm not sure that's good for the President." ~Trump
"Barack Obama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic." ~Trump
"Obama doesn't have enough time to convince Congress to do it. This guy plays more golf than people on the PGA Tour." ~Trump
"When I am President, I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf." ~Trump
Of course, Trump golfs significantly more than Obama.
Obama: Played roughly once every 8.8 days. Trump plays roughly once every 4.5 days.
Also:
Obama Played the vast majority of his rounds at federally owned military bases near Washington, D.C. (such as Joint Base Andrews or Fort Belvoir),
which required minimal additional travel or specialized security configurations.
Trump Plays exclusively at his own commercial, private resorts (like Mar-a-Lago, Bedminster, and Doral), introducing much higher recurring costs for Air Force One travel,
Secret Service infrastructure, and securing perimeters.

George Carlin did a rather funny bit about golfing c#$%suckers...
