How Often Has President Trump Played Golf Since He Took Office? [Infographic]

Down through the years, many U.S. presidents enjoyed playing golf and Dwight D. Eisenhower even went as far as bringing it to the White House lawn. He is thought to have played at least 800 rounds, making him America's all-time golfer-in-chief. Fast-forward to the present day and President Trump has come under consistent scrutiny for the amount of time he has spent out on the golf course. It was nearly inevitable that he was in the middle of a round at the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia on Sunday when media networks called the 2020 election for Joe Biden. So just how many rounds of golf has Trump played since he took office and does he come anywhere close to the immortal Eisenhower?
According to data maintained by the website TrumpGolfCount.com, the 45th U.S. president has clocked up 285 daytime visits to golf clubs since his inauguration, with evidence of golf being played on at least 142 occasions up to November 08, 2020. Even though that comes nowhere near Eisenhower's tally (though having a course at the White House was more convenient then jetting down to Mar-a-Lago), it is higher than Obama's 105 rounds during the same time period. When a president decides to take a golfing trip, it is a pretty expensive undertaking with transport on Air Force One, Secret Service Protection and accommodation all quickly adding up.
While Eisenhower could step outside the office for a round, TrumpGolfCount.com estimates that Trump's golfing trips have cost American taxpayers $142 million so far. That total includes $59 million worth of trips to Mar-a-Lago on Air Force One, along with a long list of other items such as bills for Coast Guard security at the Florida property. The creators of the website have stated that they are tracking Trump's golf count in the wake of a promise he made back in August 2016 when he said "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf". -

I think you're basing it off Keystone pipeline/(temporary and ineffective)public lease ban and not actual government projections which show the opposite of this 'stagnation' shit you're saying.

2021-04-06 at 4:53 PM UTC(365 x 4) + 1 (leap year) = 1461 days in office
If Trump played golf on 298 days while in office, Trump played golf on 20.397% of his days in office.
Trump spent the other 79.6% of his days watching Faux News and tweeting hate.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

The Keystone cancellation is part of the same issue. Biden also tied environmental incentives to the stimulus package and increased the money supply without increasing oil production. Keeping production at the same rate is necessary to ensure oil transactions in USD stay at a steady pace. If oil production tethered to a currency increases while the money supply increases it will obviously put pressure on the value of the dollar. It's pretty obvious to anyone it would devalue the only hope is in futures which I imagine Biden is banking on green tech helping with -

The Keystone would of made it much safer to transfer Oil to Texas refineries which are the most advance and can process the oil for national distribution. There have been incidents where the fucking oil was transfered by rail system and causing a massive derailment exploding one container after another. with the pipeline, if it ruptures and catches fire they shut off the valves so the fire contains locally. much less dangerous. its not that no one could die, if they´re next to it but the explosion would not be one after another.
they have a newer pipline which they lay down plastic tarps to capture any leaks that may occure and have people drive along the pipeline looking for any leakage. they dont allow it to pool up like the old days. so there is little ground water contamination that would occure. the Enviormentalist have become radicalized over the years. they´re scary and violent people. Green Peace is a good example. willing to shoot at Japanese Fisherman.
The Pipeline is needed. Green power isnt perfected yet. The Solar Panels require Petral to make. the gears on the windmills require heavy sludge oils to run properly and not synthetic oils. they have proven that synthetic gear oils would heat up and wear down causing one Windmill after another burn out, catch fire and the blades go flying and pull down the entire mast.
Heavy natural oil will be needed for decades to come. Maybe 2050 or 2060 we can resolve this. but the rush for 2035 is a fucking Joke. the fact we poured shitloads of money into the Keystone pipeline and suddenly stop is a fucking disaster. I agree that running it through Native American land because the NIMBY fucks didnt want it in their backyard was Criminal. It should of ran right through peoples properties and offered them a buy out or a cash settlement on the spot. Using the same laws the Highway or Railroad uses. Eminent Domain.. See ya fucker.
tl:dr Politicians like Biden shut down the Pipeline to get elected. Its a fucking farce to think we´re going to be fully Green by 2035
Kill yourselves. The Electricity to run the Electric cars will come from mostly Diesel powered refineries. and heavy gear oils. So it looks Green on the outside but is heavily dependent on Natural Oil. -

Nigger I took all the required econ classes to get a degree in economics. You got kicked out of community College for hiding in the showers after a basketball game
The report you posted just has to do with energy and not broad macro outcomes and the effect on inflation/value of currency
Also you misunderstood "my truck in Canada" as a source and not physically where I was typing from -
2021-04-06 at 8:25 PM UTCGas is 4.15 a gallon for regular on ave here in Cali. Though its usually 1USD more in the big cities of Cal over smaller areas around the country its still up a 1USD nationawide. and climbing. Why? Shutting down the Keystone sent panic into local refineries to push harder.
this keystone was to add relief and they were building new Refineries in Texas and Oklahoma and Louisiana to help process into Gas and other fuels for nation wide use.
cant happen now. dum dum closed it down. Green is a Joke at this time. Im for it but it´s not going to happen as fast as they want it -
