Entry# 6 Let's Go Golphing With Donnie







                  Hey guys, it's Adrian again. This topic can be considered political so if that's not your cup of tea, then I apologize in advance.
                 Today, I want to take a moment to talk about Donald Trumps golfing habits, especially during his presidency, and why they're bad for this country.

What brought my interest in this topic was this neat little website called GolfWithDonald.com. In this website contains a list of his current golfing trips and their impact on the federal budget as well as the estimated amount he will take and their costs.
                Context is really important when talking about Trump golfing compared to his predecessor Barack Obama. When President Obama was in office, Trump took to twitter to list his grievances against Obama. He criticized Obama for his golfing trips and how much he was costing the taxpayers. However, when Trump was elected, he also took to the golf course.

              At first, people thought it was a simple vacation to help ease the tension of becoming the new President of the United States. Then it became a big deal when he was taking every weekend off to visit his course at Mar-A-Lago. Furthermore, it was sad to see a breaking news headline on Fox News that Trump had stayed at the White House instead of going for another round of golf. What really pissed people off though was Sean Spicer acting as if golfing every weekend at his private resort was presidential and a necessary act the President must do.

           To me, this is just an example of how our current President is hypocritical and why he should be forced to change his travelling habits so that the American people don't suffer. Florida is losing a lot of business around Mar-A-Lago due to his golfing and the state's budget is running thin due to having to close down the airport and maintaining a larger security force around the area.

         Thanks for listening to my rant and please leave a comment on how you feel about Trump's rampant golfing trips.
