How has President Donald Trump spent his Christmas vacation? Working, he says, but also on the golf course. On Tuesday, Trump closed out the year with a visit to his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach for the 12th time during his Florida vacation. According to CNN's tally, he has spent at least 252 days at a Trump golf club and 333 days at a Trump property as President. This year alone, he spent at least 86 days at a golf club, despite a late start due to the government shutdown. The golf excursions have included the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia; his Bedminister, New Jersey, golf club; Trump National Doral outside Miami; and Trump International Doonbeg in Ireland.
At least while he's cheating in golf he's not cheating in electoral politics.Trump spent 1 of every 5 days in 2019 at a golf club
Between golfing at his properties and his daily Executive time, I figure Trump works about 5 days a week with 4 hour work days.
20 hour work weeks. In virtually any industry, 20 hours is considered a part-time employee.

Pretty fit for septuagenarian wouldn't you say?

Nope, fat and out of shape.
He's obese and painted.
Plenty of setuagenarians are in good shape and of natural color.
The coloring is fake he's not orange in real life he's a real person who has taken on such a job when he didn't have to. We don't deserve him.

At his weight? No i wouldn't.
Nobody can beat Trump in 2020 not Liz nor Bernie nor Hillary nor Michelle. Too bad Barry O can't run again he might have a chance.
we don't deserve him.

A report from the Government Accountability Office says four such trips early on in Trump's presidency cost taxpayers $13.6 million, or some $3.4 million each.
The GAO report also found that $60,000 was paid to Mar-a-Lago in expenses for the four trips, most of that for rooms at the resort for Secret Service agents. The report noted, however, that most agents did not stay at Mar-a-Lago.
GAO Report PRESIDENTIAL TRAVEL - Jan. 2019
Trump Golf Count Cost Breakdown:
AF1 flights to Mar-a-Lago: $47,288,000
AF1 flights to Bedminster: $18,375,500
Costs to Bedminster, Palm Beach: $17,437,192
Cost to guard coast off Mar-a-Lago: $21,476,000
Luxury car rental in Turnberry, Scotland: $1,260,139
Cost of stay at Trump Turnberry, Scotland: $68,800
Total cost of staying in Doonbeg, Ireland: $3,600,000
Total Cost: $109,505,631
As Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler put it, such figures “are a great example of false precision. We do not know exactly how many days Trump has golfed, and we do not know how much has been paid by taxpayers for his golf outings.” That being said, Kessler noted that Germain’s estimates were “in the ballpark” of figures released by the Government Accountability Office. Still, he argues that “one cannot fairly attribute all of these costs to golf, given the round-the-clock security required for a president.”
The bottom line is that multiple analyses have calculated figures that are in rough agreement with either Germain’s or Dáte’s claims that the cost is presently in the $109 million area, but numbers as precise as those stated in tweets mislead a reader into thinking a level of accuracy not reflective of reality has been achieved. The numbers vary, additionally, based on how one approaches the problem: Do you include all the maintenance costs for Air Force One? Do you include security costs that would be present regardless of golf outings? There is no one right answer, and as such there is no single number that can be verified as the number.
Oh the horrors!
Since President Trump’s election, the economy has added more than 7 million jobs, over half a million in manufacturing alone while the stock market remains in record territory.

If he can walk a golf course 5 days a week he's in better shape than Pelosi I bet.
