Trump's aides (still) don't want to admit the President is golfing

"One possible reason: Trump was a frequent and vocal critic of President Barack Obama's golf habit, regularly slamming the former president for playing golf with many pressing issues before the country. Trump even suggested during a 2016 event in Virginia, in a knock on Obama, that if elected he was "not going to have time to go play golf."
"I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," Trump said at the time.
According to a picture posted by Clear Sports, a golf technology company, Trump hit the links at Trump International Golf Club on Sunday with Rory McIlroy, one of the top-ranked golfers in the world.
McIlroy later told No Laying Up, a golf blog, that he played a full 18 holes with the President, the CEO of Clear Sports and Paul O'Neill, the former New York Yankees right fielder. The professional golfer said Trump "shot around 80" through 18 holes, eight strokes above the course's par 72 layout.
The reported 18 holes of golf, however, directly contradicts how White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders described Trump's visit to the golf course during a briefing with reporters on Sunday. "I know he played a couple of holes this morning but I am not going to disclose any of the others that were there," Sanders said, adding that Trump also "played a couple" on Saturday, as well.
Confronted by McIlroy's comments about playing 18 holes with the President, Sanders said the President "intended to play a few holes and decided to play longer."

I think Cheeto Hitler liked running for president a whole lot more than actually being president.
pretty funny, though - I figure the more he plays golf, the less time he has to sexually assault women.

Gotta love the video in the link with the guy who has played with Trump. Basically says he kind of makes up his own rules...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say there was some miscommunication. the aide obviously saw that McIllroy said Trump shot 80 and just assumed it was a few holes.

Guess who went golfing again...
Trump, who scorned Obama's golf habits, outpacing him in rounds

If anyone admits he's golfing they'll get fired.
That family fucking lies and lies and lies about their lies. I watched David Frum this weekend and he nailed it, Donald Trump will never behave or act like a normal US president.
