Trump is now gaslighting on how much he plays golf:
President Trump defended his golfing in a Sunday morning tweet, calling the activity his “‘exercise.’” His tweet comes a day after Golf News Net reported that Trump’s Saturday visit to the Trump National Golf Club in northern Virginia was the 275th time he visited a golf club as president and the 273rd time he traveled to one of his golf clubs as president.
Trump played golf in Virginia after postponing his scheduled rally in New Hampshire, citing storms expected in the area from Tropical Storm Fay.
Last month, Trump reportedly could not be reached at his Virginia golf club by White House officials after he tweeted a video included a protester yelling “white power.” Officials told NBC News the video remained on his feed for more than three hours because of the delay.
I know many in business and politics that work out endlessly, in some cases to a point of exhaustion. It is their number one passion in life, but nobody complains. My “exercise” is playing, almost never during the week, a quick round of golf. Obama played more and much longer….

…rounds, no problem. When I play, Fake News CNN, and others, park themselves anywhere they can to get a picture, then scream “President Trump is playing golf.” Actually, I play VERY fast, get a lot of work done on the golf course, and also get a “tiny” bit of exercise. Not bad!

Do you mean to say that when a President is golfing during a public health catastrophe, it is irresponsible and would never do that or deem yourself a HYPOCRITE? https://t.co/EK9xwHd8mp

Trump has played golf 261 times, costing taxpayers $137,000,000. At this point in time Obama had played fewer than 100 times. FACTS MATTER!

you’ve spent 275 days of your presidency playing golf. you watch yourself on television all day long, and into the night. you play with your phone during meetings. you’ve completely given up on the pandemic while still rages. you half-ass your job and everything is falling apart

Here’s Trump as a candidate saying he would never play golf as President. He has now played more golf than any President in American history. pic.twitter.com/2kpWskncTy
