Trump at golf club fourth day in row after Christmas Day 'back to work' tweet

Once again, President Trump appears to be working from the golf course.

Trump rolled from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., to the nearby Trump International Golf Club on Friday. It’s the fourth straight day he has made the trip.

On Monday, Trump tweeted he would get “back to work” immediately after the holiday. “I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!” Trump tweeted on Christmas Day.  

Since his tweet, Trump has played with professional golfers and issuing an occasional tweet while his staff jousts with the news media over coverage. His official schedule had no public events all week, though Trump did make an unannounced stop at a West Palm Beach firehouse and had dinner with his Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross one night.

Trump frequently attacked predecessor Barack Obama for hitting the links. Just this week, a Washington Post reporter noticed that an error message on a Trump website made a reference to Obama and golf: “Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem … and not on the golf course.”

Friday would make 71 rounds of golf during Trump’s first year as president, on pace to pass the total for Obama’s entire four year term sometime in the middle of 2018, according to a Post reporter tracking the visits.
