President Donald Trump visited one of his own golf courses for the 16th time in his brief presidency – far outpacing his predecessor, who he repeatedly criticized for hitting the links.
The 45th president was spotted at his Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida, for the second day in a row on Sunday after he ordered airstrikes on a Syrian air base on Thursday night during the Chinese President’s visit to Mar-a-Lago.
Trump repeatedly criticized former President Barack Obama for golfing – but the 44th president didn’t play his first round until April 26, 2009 – nearly 100 days into his presidency.
On the campaign trail, Trump said: ‘You know what – and I love golf – but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry [in Scotland] again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again — I own Doral, in Miami. I don’t think I’d ever see many of the places that I have.
‘I don’t ever think that I’d see anything. I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave? I mean, who’s gonna leave?’
