Is this how you MAGA, Mr. POTUS?

You know, Mr. President, your golf outing this weekend in Florida all by itself doesn’t bother me.

It’s the context and the juxtaposition with the glaring, tragic and lethal global pandemic that sends me into orbit.

You see, I remember that you spent a good part of your 2016 presidential campaign telling us you wouldn’t “have time” to play golf. You would be too busy “making America great again” to play any golf. Furthermore, you kept yapping about President Obama enjoying the occasional round of golf. Your criticism not only was unfair, it has proven to be highly hypocritical.

I mean, good grief. You have spent more time and taxpayer money in your current term than Obama spent more during his two full terms in office. What galls me to the max is how you get away with blowing this all off and how those Trumpsters out there continue to buy into your bullsh** about how hard you’re working to protect us.

It’s crap. And as you once said to reporters about the Charlottesville riot: I know and you know it, too. 

Then we have this pandemic. I am sure you know that the death toll is going to surpass 100,000 Americans. It could happen any day now. If you’re working so damn hard to end this tragedy, what in the hell are you doing out there batting a little ball around at a glitzy golf club that you own?

I have to say it, Mr. President: You are a fraud and you do not deserve to be re-elected. This golf outing only underscores what millions of have said all along, that you have no understanding or appreciation for majesty of the office you occupy.

We’re fighting for our lives, Mr. President, and we have a right to demand that the individual at the top of our government’s chief executive is fighting alongside us.

You are derelict in your duty.

Too busy on MAGA for golf, Mr. POTUS?

Donald Trump used to mock Barack Obama for his golf habits.

The Republican Party presidential candidate told us he would be “too busy” making America great again for golf. He wouldn’t play it; certainly not on the level that President Obama enjoyed some time on the links.

Hah! A new report says that the president has cost the U.S. Treasury more than $100 million to pay for his many golf excursions at Trump properties.

Promises made, promises kept? Or more like broken?

Well, I don’t begrudge the president playing golf. As I’ve noted already, a president is never off the clock.

If only this president hadn’t popped off so recklessly about his predecessor’s relaxation habits and then lied to us about how devoted he would be to serving the country.

What a fraud!

‘Back to work’ on the golf course

Oh, my. I cannot let this one go without saying something about it.

Donald J. Trump said via Twitter (of course) that he’d get “get back to work” immediately after Christmas seeking to make America great again.

But …

Cameras caught him playing golf the day after Christmas at his Mar-a-Lago resort in south Florida.

I won’t begrudge the man playing golf. He’s on vacation, although he keeps calling it a “working vacation.” C’mon, Mr. President. Knock it off with the qualifier, will ya?

I am one who doesn’t begrudge the president taking some time away from the stress, hustle and hoopla of the world’s most powerful office. I do begrudge the president, though, when he says one thing and does another.

Trump said he wouldn’t “have time for golf” after he became president. What does he do? He sets an unofficial presidential record for most rounds of golf played. He poked fun at President Obama for the amount of golf he played. Trump has played more golf in his first year than Obama played during his two full terms as president of the United States.

Aw, what the heck? I’ll give the president his due. Tee it up as often as you want, Mr. President, while you’re on vacation.

But for crying out loud, don’t tell us you’re doing something different. Everyone has a camera, sir.
