In 2012, he fired off a tweet criticizing then-President Barack Obama for &#8220;burning through&#8221; three White House chiefs of staff in three years. Oh, but hold on!

Trump says these things, either via his big mouth or via his Twitter account. Then he demonstrates a propensity for doing the same thing, only more of it.<\/p>\n<p>Obama&#8217;s golf outings? Trump said he wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;have time&#8221; to break away from his plans to &#8220;make America great again&#8221; to play golf. Well now.
