Tangentially related - is there a tracker comparing his golf days to his first term?

[–] El_Azulito@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Good question! Hope this helps:

There isn’t a single live tracker that puts Trump’s first and second terms side by side, but we can compare available data:

First Term (2017–2021):

  • Golf rounds played: Approximately 261 rounds — about one every 5.6 days.
  • Visits to Trump properties: 428 days out of 1,461, which is nearly 29% of his presidency.
  • Source: TrumpGolfTrack.com

Second Term (as of February 17, 2025):

  • Golf rounds played: At least 5 rounds in the first 28 days — again, one every 5.6 days.
  • Percentage of days golfing: About 17.86% of his time in office so far.
  • Source: PinkNews article

Soooo: Trump’s pace of golfing in his second term is nearly identical to his first — he’s kept the same rhythm of golf every 5–6 days.

That’s wild shit right there. 💪

That's. Not as bad as I thought. It's once or twice a week, the local sports teams around me all play about once a week. If golf weren't so expensive it would sound normal.

It also costs a few million just to fly him to maralago. Each time. Plus charging secret service for the rooms they stay in at his properties. He's just funneling taxpayer dollars into his own pocket.
