President Trump’s Busy July: Golf and More Golf
July was pretty rough for Donald Trump. His son and son-in-law get caught up in Russian campaign meddling, he hires a foul-mouthed lunatic as a Communications Director, who causes his Chief-of-Staff and Press Secretary to resign, and his new Chief-of-Staff fires the new Communications Director. And Congress couldn’t pass his ObamaCare repeal but tied his hands with a Russia sanctions bill.
“But the month wasn’t a total wash! Trump managed to squeeze in at least eight rounds of golf over the course of July and, with the exception of one Saturday he was stuck flying back from Europe, hit up one of his personal businesses on every single weekend day.”
“As of July 31, Trump’s visited his own properties on 57 of the 193 days he’s been president, a rate of once every 3.4 days. He’s played golf once every 5.7 days ….”
— “Trump had a terrible July, but at least he played a lot of golf,” Philip Bump, Washington Post
