Does Trump really golf more than Obama did? - Quora

I'd golf a lot as well, if I had to put up with the same old tired BS about fake collusion and fake obstruction from the Left and the Press everyday. Beats whipping out the 1911 and blowing a .45acp right between the running lights of an ignorant reporter asking the same stupid question for the 4,271st time in the same press conference.

It's hard to say without information from the White House Travel Office and the golf courses owned by Trump. Generally, sitting presidents play equal amounts of golf during their tenure, with a plus or minus of 5%, I believe. Interesting question.

I JUST WANT TO STAY IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND WORK MY ASS OFF"
Donald Trump, during the 2016 campaign


"According to government watchdog group Judicial Watch, the total cost of the Obamas' vacations and travel stands at $105,662,975.27. The organization calculated the number through a series of Freedom of Information Act requests."


"When he was campaigning, President Trump frequently bashed President Obama for playing golf and said that he would be too busy to play. Per a HuffPost article he said, “I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he told a rally audience in February 2016, referring to his course near the Miami airport. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.”

It took less than two weeks before he broke that promise...

From a combination of an analysis from the HuffPost, the GAO..., Politico and the Washington Post... the estimated cost of Trump’s visits so far come to a range of $105 to $108 million. When you extrapolate the $105 million estimate to eight years, assuming Trump is re-elected, the total cost is over $340 million.


So...
In 8 years, Pres. Obama's golf outings cost the American taxpayers $106 Million
In slightly less than 2 1/2 years, Pres. Trump's golf outings have cost the American taxpayers more than $105 Million. And his first Term isn't even over yet.

But to be totally candid, the President is never, really, "on vacation". He/she travels on Air Force One, which is a portable White House/War Room in the sky. It has all the resources and functionality the President would need in case of emergency. (Or, at least, it should. Pres. Bush2 was in FL on 9/11. As he was being transported on AF1 from there to WDC, several shortcomings and system "failures" were experienced. I would expect they've been addressed and corrected by now.)
