Twitter Piles on Trump After He Golfs Second Day in Row Following ‘Back to Work’ Tweet
After President Donald Trump successfully saved Christmas from the evil Starbucks hobgoblins, he triumphantly tweeted that he would be getting back to work the very next day, toiling to make America great again “faster than anyone anticipated.”
So, imagine everyone’s surprise when he showed up at the golf course to hit the links with PGA Tour golfer Bryson DeChambau, former PGA player Dana Quigley and Sen. David Perdue.
OK. Day after Christmas, filled to the gills with tryptophan and he golfed, no big deal. There was a senator present, after all, so maybe they talked about, uh, something or another? That’s sort of like work.
Guess what? According to press reports, the president just showed up today at another one of his golf courses to, yeah, once again attempt to hit a very small ball into a very small hole. That’s two days in a row after so enthusiastically exclaiming it was time to get back to work.
According to an NBC report, this is the 86th day he has spent golfing in just under a year in office. Again, it’s very possible he’s on the phone, wheeling and dealing, as he carts around the golf course, but remember, this is the man who repeatedly lampooned Barack Obama for golfing and said he would not “have the time” to golf if elected, also saying he would “just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.”
So, yeah, being as how it is now two days in a row for Trump on the golf course, coupled with the fact that he is on track to triple Obama’s time on the links, media Twitter took notice. They took notice hard.
This is the second day in a row that Trump has arrived at his golf course following this tweet where he said after Xmas “its back to work.”
There are no other events today on his public schedule. https://t.co/07GOOsR5gH

From Trump pretending he’s not golfing during his visits to golf resorts to Paul Ryan pretending he wrote a middle class tax cut it’s a bottomless pit of bad faith and needs to be seen for what it is.

The President has arrived at Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. White House hasn’t said who he’s golfing with, or even if he’s golfing this morning (narrator voice: He’s golfing)

So they scream in apocalyptic horror at every action Trump makes while simultaneously pointing and indignantly shouting ‘LOOK! HE’S GOLFING AGAIN AND NOT WORKING!!’
