God forbid a man have hobbies.
President Donald Trump’s love for golf is once again driving the left into a frenzy. Despite juggling global challenges, securing the border, and rebuilding America’s economy, Trump is under fire — not for policy failures, but for playing golf.
More Golf, More Outrage from the Left
According to the liberal group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), President Trump visited his own golf properties 62 times in the first six months of his second term — a 37% increase compared to his first term. These visits, they say, included public events, private meetings, and even informal stops, whether or not the President actually played a round.
Meanwhile, a left-wing website called DidTrumpGolfToday.com claims President Trump golfed 43 days out of 184 — about 23% of the time. For context, Trump works seven days a week, often holding meetings well into the evening — something few in Washington can match.
Media Meltdown Over Trump’s Tee Times
The mainstream media wasted no time piling on. They slammed the President for golfing just a week after his second inauguration, and even dredged up past criticism from the COVID era. But here’s what they don’t tell you: Trump uses golf as exercise, stress relief, and diplomacy.
When President Trump teed off with Finnish President Alexander Stubb in March, it wasn’t just leisure — it was foreign policy on the fairway.
What About the Cost?
Critics claim Trump’s golf trips cost taxpayers, citing a 2019 Government Accountability Office estimate of $1.4 million per outing. But they conveniently forget that every president racks up security costs — and Trump’s properties provide secure, controlled environments far better than unknown locations.
The Real Reason Trump’s Golf Drives the Left Crazy
It’s not the golf. It’s the success. Trump’s properties continue to thrive, even as global elites criticize him. According to CREW, 49 events hosted by foreign governments and political groups have taken place at Trump-owned venues during this term. Instead of backroom deals in Washington, President Trump does business where the American people can see it — and liberals hate that.
“Donald Trump’s many visits to his golf courses and other properties have made it clear that the way to get access to Trump is by patronizing his properties,” complained CREW’s Meghan Faulkner — a talking point parroted by anti-Trump media outlets like Newsweek.
Trump Expands His Golf Empire
While the media obsesses over golf carts and tee times, the Trump Organization is expanding. In August, a brand-new course will open in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, promising what the company calls “an exceptional golfing experience.” And in the Middle East, a luxury golf resort in Qatar is already in development.
Bottom Line: Trump Builds While Others Complain
President Trump isn’t just swinging clubs — he’s hosting world leaders, signing executive orders, and leading the nation with strength and determination. Golf is just one of the few ways he unwinds — and turns even recreation into opportunity.
As usual, the critics will shout. But President Trump will keep winning.
