Trump's reason for golf trips ignites internet - RT America

Rush Limbaugh has strong words about reports that Trump called the White House a ‘real dump
Donald Trump: 'The White House is a real dump' compared to Trump National Golf Club

According to Sports Illustrated, the President was telling guests at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, why he likes to spend so much time there.

Golf magazine explores that tableau, and more, in a long feature about Trump's complicated relationship with the sport.

Golf Magazine reported Trump lavishing praise on the members during a cocktail party before he invited them to "drop in" on his interviews with potential cabinet members.

In a radical narrative shift in Washington, a new report indicates that the White House is not good enough for Donald Trump, not the other way around. For those who keep count of such matters, it was Trump's visit No. 43 to a golf course and visit No. 58 to a Trump property since becoming President Trump. Out of the 193 days he has been president (as of August 1), that's about 29 percent of his total time.

Does President Donald Trump find the accommodations at the White House slightly less than four-star-worthy? After all, before Trump even won the election speculation abounded that his White House move would be a downgrade from the kind of life he was used to.

This is not the first time Trump's comments about government-owned accommodations have raised eyebrows.

It must be tough being one of the world's most powerful men... slaving away in that terrible White House.

"You know, you'd think that you're president, and you're going to be there for another nearly two years, you'd think you'd never leave", Trump said in February 2015. I know it is probably inconvenient for the residents, but he is going to work it out. "... We have a president that's constantly, whether it's Martha's Vineyard or someplace else, constantly on vacation".

Also Wednesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that two phone calls the president had said he received didn't actually happen. "I think it sends a very, very bad message".
