Letter: Trump spends time golfing, watching TV

By last Nov. 25, President Donald Trump visited his golf courses 70 times at a cost to taxpayers of $84 million, according to trumpgolfcount.com. During his campaign in August 2016, he promised: “I’m going to be working for you. I’m not going to have time to go play golf.”

Last November, on his Asia trip, Trump told reporters that he is too busy to watch much television. Yet it is widely reported that he usually spends four to eight hours daily watching television.

Trump has made 6,420 false or misleading claims over 649 days, according to The Washington Post.

In these and many other ways, Trump is the con-man-in-chief.

Trump’s supporters fail to clearly distinguish between ends and means. His policies may serve their ends, but as a means he is a fake president. His supporters should find an honorable person for implementing policies they favor. Mitt Romney is just one possibility.
