Trump is trying to beat his previous record of time spent golfing

[citygator]

Of course he makes deals and big decisions every day. He talks with people all the time. He's the most important leader in the world. You seem shockingly naive about how things really get done. It's all about relationships.

You are making all that up too. Give me examples of work he has done on the golf course. Specific deals.

I asked Grok: How much time has Trump spent golfing as of today?


As of August 16, 2025, reports on Donald Trump's golfing during his second term vary slightly. One source indicates he has golfed on 50 days out of 202 days since returning to office, equating to approximately 24.8% of his presidency. Another source reports 38 days golfed out of 173 days, or about 21.97% of his term. These figures are based on publicly available tracking and verified sources, such as didtrumpgolftoday.com and trumpgolftracker.net. The exact number of days fluctuates due to differing reporting methods, but a conservative estimate suggests he has spent between 38 and 50 days golfing, with each outing typically lasting several hours, often at Trump International Golf Club in Florida or other Trump properties.

YAWWWWWN......
WELL IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS PHYSICALLY FIT ENOUGH TO PUT IN FOUR OR FIVE ROUNDS OF GOLF A WEEK.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANYWHERE WITH THAT ANGLE BY THE WAY.

STICK TO HIGH FOOD PRICES THAT'S THE ONE THAT WILL BRING YOU THE BIGGEST RETURNS.

Yet you loons whine when he doesn't make a "deal" with Putin or doesn't make a "deal" with China. And complain to no end when he makes a "deal" with Canada or Mexico....go figure.

This is about him playing golf so much while the rest of us are trying to run businesses. I have no idea what I will be paying for things I get from India or China next month or after November. Do I bet on him taco-ing again so I can import reasonably priced goods or do I bet on outrageously high prices he announced? We import billions.

He isnt doing jack shit on a golf course, otherwise all of that time would have resolved these unknowns. All he has to do is determine how much he will tax businesses, illegally i might add. There is no "emergency". Trump is just playing with a toy. He has no goals in mind. None.

Are the goals to raise tax money or to move businesses.. it cant be both. They are at odds. If the goal is to move businesses, why lower the tariffs and push them out? If the goal is to get fair trade terms then why has he imposed high tariffs on nations with trade balances and no tariffs on us? The goals are just to goof around and make some news. He has no stated goals that are consistent from day to day.

The current business environment is WORSE than covid. At least during covid we knew what was going on and why. This is random whims of a mad man.

I'd be fine if he just stayed on the course.

Per Google AI:

Yes, Donald Trump has stated that golf has resulted in business deals, and there's evidence suggesting a blend of his private business interests with his role as a public figure, which has at times sparked ethical concerns.
For instance, during his July 2025 trip to Scotland, which centered around the opening of a new golf course at his Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen, Trump also held talks with EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen at his Turnberry resort, where they announced a framework for a trade deal on tariffs between the US and the EU.

It's important to note that golf has long been a venue for conducting business and networking for the wealthy and powerful. For Trump, golf has been a pathway to building his real estate empire and connecting with politicians and foreign leaders.

I can't imagine why you're disputing this obvious reality. Maybe you don't play much golf in your role as bean counter, but that has nothing to do with what business leaders do.

Good to have goals.

With all the photo's and video's of Trump playing golf, there's not one of him closing a deal on a golf course.

Do you think they would sign papers on the golf course? Don't be an idiot.

Wrong. OpenAI is an American company started and by Elon in 2015. Project Stargate is a massive AI infrastructure initiative led by OpenAI.

Project Stargate is a "company that's invested in this country that completely new to this country. That didn't already have investments before Trump took office?" Your criteria

Try again without the embellishments.

Try again without your hate.

Just stop with the embellishments. Trump isn't playing so much golf to get deals done. And you damn well know it.

Trump is working at a pace 50 times more than Joe Biden. At the point I could care less if he lives on the golf course. Trump can clearly multi-task better than anyone else. But seriously, this post is just pathetic. This is all you Liberals got.

Trump plays for a lot of reasons. Business and relationships are part of it.

That card is never expired considering Democrats hid Joe’s cognitive decline.

What has he accomplished other than giving orders and letting others make those deals for him?

He couldn't even get "no tax on tips" or SS made permanent.
The work requirements for Medicaid don't start until after the midterm elections next year.
And many more.

Oh but all that spending, so much that they had to increase the debt ceiling $5 trillion immediately.

Workaholic my ass.

Huh? So Trump can make deals, but can't make deals while playing golf? Damn, more like random whines from a mad man....which is you.

1. Giving $1 million in the 70's to start is own business, isn't "self made."
2. LOL.. Where's his "art of the deal" when it came to repealing Obamacare, defunding the dept. of edu., ending the war in Ukraine, massive spending reductions, making no tax on tips or SS permanent. 6 bankruptcies
3. So are a bunch of left leaning lunatics.
4. Successful campaigner by lying, isn't something to brag about.
6. Even Newsmax has him at the 3rd worst.
