he wrote in one of many tweets criticizing Obama for taking a trip.
“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter,”

"I would rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done,"
Trump said to the Hill in June 2015, the month he launched his presidential campaign. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off."
Trump said last August that if he became president, he wouldn’t have time for golf. “I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf,” he said at an event in Virginia.
