The liberal media’s double standard when it comes to their treatment of former President Barack Obama and President Donald J. Trump has been on full display in recent weeks. For 8 years, the left gave Obama a pass on a myriad of issues, providing an excuse for any scandal or controversy facing his administration.
While other Republican politicians would allow the media to treat them like a punching bag, Trump won’t. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer is standing up for President Trump over criticism for his love of golf.
During Monday’s press briefing, a Yahoo White House correspondent attempted to grill Spicer over the lack of information regarding the president’s golf outings in recent weeks. The liberal reporter asked Spicer whether or not criticism of the president’s frequency of playing golf was justifiable given that President Trump chastised Obama for hitting the links on a regular basis while in the White House.
Instead of simply accepting the liberal premise of the question, Spicer fired back, arguing that the president uses golf as an opportunity to build relationships with world leaders. In other words, when he’s meeting with leaders, he’s working. Unlike Obama, who golfed with celebrities.
From Fox News Insider:
“How you use the game of golf is something that he’s talked about,” said Spicer. He added that just because Trump is at one of his golf courses doesn’t mean he’s actually playing a round.
Spicer said reporters have jumped to conclusions and falsely assumed in some instances that the president was golfing. The reporter followed up by asking why the details of “productive meetings” on the golf course are not being shared with the media. “The president is entitled to a bit of privacy at some point,” Spicer responded.
Check out the video of Spicer’s battle with the liberal reporter below:
While President Trump views golf as an opportunity to reach out to world leaders, President Obama saw the game as simply a social opportunity, rarely ever inviting members of the Republican Party to join him on the course. Instead, Obama frequently played with Vice President Joe Biden, NBA star Alonzo Mourning, and other White house aides.
This liberal reporter tried to stump Spicer with a gotcha question, but the White House Press Secretary had none of it. What a refreshing change from the usual wimpy Republican politicians!
Do you agree with Spicer’s assessment about the president’s golf game? Share your thoughts below!
President Trump deserves a golf game once in awhile. I don’t remember the MSM saying anything about all the golf obama played. Nor did they say anything about the golf game with Tiger Woods that cost the taxpayers over 2 million dollars.
Trump spends $3 million per golfing weekend and Spicer wants you to believe that he is with “heads of state”. LOL Trumpettes will believe anything.
He has gone golfing 10 times. Name the “heads of state” he did business with. Hint, they arrived in Mar-a-Largo with their publicists, and each round was nationally publicized. You didn’t hear about them, because they didn’t come for golf.
I hope Sean Spicer is strong enough to withstand all the crap that is thrown his way, and stay with the Trump Team. He is awesome!!! He doesn’t let the left get away with their usual BS. he is the best Press Secretary there has ever been. I respect him for sticking up for President Trump. Most people are ready to throw him under the bus, even those in the Republican Party, sadly to say. I can’t imagine what a tough job Sean Spicer has, having to face those commies on the left every day. He does a great job handling them, and I respect him for how he handles them.
President Trump is working not just having a good time on our dollar. #2. President Trump owns the course so it isn’t even costing us money for him to play. He does deserve a day to rest once in a while. I have never seen a President work as hard as he is.
The public is getting sick to death of the media, who are as useless as tits on a bull.
Since the president is actually at his OWN golf course, the taxpayers aren’t paying for it.
IN OTHER WORDS….PEE OFF!
Obama didn’t use an eraser, he used his Executive Action and creative writing skills (FICTION) to fill out the score card before the round even started.
“I’m feeling pretty good today, I think I’ll shoot 4 under…….” He could be a PRO!!!
Hey, Sweetheart, obama’s best friend on the golf course was a pencil with an eraser.
When Obama played golf when in DC, many of our military members were kicked out of golf courses that were built for them.
It’s well known that trump cheats at golf so he won’t be making any friends on the golf course.
Your true character comes out on the course and trump will lose us allies with his cheating.
You’re thinking of Bill Clinton. He was a known cheater on and off the golf course.
Trump is a “well-known cheater” on the golf course… Really? I notice you were careful not to provide even a single URL to substantiate your assertion. Then again, why substantiate an assertion like that, which is likely to be unprovable.
