The 27 times Donald Trump tweeted about Barack Obama playing golf too much
Trump adores golf, but used to argue presidents shouldn’t spend much time playing it.
Donald Trump has tweeted about golf at least 460 times since creating his Twitter account in 2009.
He’s promoted the courses he owns, praised the game as a source of mental and physical development, critiqued other courses, and bragged about whom he’s playing with.
Between 2011 and 2016, he also tweeted at least 27 complaints, jokes, or scoldings about Barack Obama playing golf while president. Some of the following could be considered retweets, but Trump’s long had a unique Twitter style that blurs the line between tweets about him and those he writes himself.
President Obama should have gone to Louisiana days ago, instead of golfing. Too little, too late!
