How many hours does Donald Trump play golf?

The White House rarely confirms that Trump is playing golf during these sojourns to his clubs, but, given the fact he tends to spend around five hours at them – roughly the time it takes to complete 18 holes – it’s not much of a stretch to assume he played golf the vast majority of times he visited his golf properties.

TOPLINE

President Trump defended himself and lashed out at former Vice President Joe Biden, the likely Democratic nominee, after the Biden campaign released an ad criticizing Trump for golfing over the weekend, as the country approaches 100,000 coronavirus deaths.

KEY FACTS

President Trump was seen golfing at his private club in Virginia on Saturday and Sunday, marking his first visits to one of his golf properties since March.

Big Number

97,722: That's the total number of confirmed coronavirus deaths in the United States, which means that the total number of lives claimed by Covid-19 in the U.S. is higher than the number of troops who died in the Vietnam conflict and higher than casualties from the Korean War, Gulf War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War and 9/11 combined.

Tangent

Before officially entering the political arena, Trump was often critical of then-President Obama for spending too much time golfing.

Critical Quote

"When you're president, you sort of say, like, I'm going to sort of give it up for a couple of years and I'm gonna really focus on the job," Trump said in an interview on Fox and Friends in 2014. "There are times to play and there are times that you can't play. It sends the wrong signal, but he plays a lot of golf."

Key Background

With election season quickly approaching, it's quite safe to assume that Trump and Biden will continue to spar with each other publically. Dating back to the 2016 primaries, Trump has been very successful using social media to take down rivals and fire up his base.
