As for Trump and his golfing, one has to remember first and foremost that Trump is a businessman and does much business on golf courses.
Not saying that is any excuse for spending taxpayers money, but that may be a habit of his from years past.
Plus yes, all Presidents use golf as a form of relaxation away from the hectic D.C. games, so most taxpayers know that is a given.
Do believe each President goes thru scrutiny by media when it comes to how often they golf. ha.
But the Left leaning media is out for blood with Trump.
And if Trump continues to donate his salary to charity, as he did his first quarter-pay, that may help off-set his golfing somewhat.
Of course, you won't be hearing about that on CNN or MSNBC any time soon.
True it won't go back to the taxpayers, but his donation will be put to good use by someone.
President donates first-quarter pay to National Park Service
I just hope Trump keeps his promise to donate it all over the next 4 years.
We will see.
And we might as well accept his golfing, as we did Obama, Bush, Clinton etc. etc.
Trump has always had a love for golf, that is nothing new. So think we can assume it won't stop due to him being President anytime soon.

President donates first-quarter pay to National Park Service
Quote:President Donald Trump has found a recipient for his presidential salary -- at least the portion he earned between January 20 and March 31, 2017.
At the White House press briefing on April 3, press secretary Sean Spicer that Trump would be donating his full first-quarter, pre-tax earnings of $78,333 to the National Park Service.
"The President has spoken with counsel and made the decision to donate his first-quarter salary, in total, to a government entity, and he has chosen this quarter to donate it to the National Park Service," Spicer said.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke was at the podium to accept a check for that amount.
I just hope Trump keeps his promise to donate it all over the next 4 years.
We will see.
