A new analysis reveals that U.S. President Donald Trump has spent 66 out of the first 225 days of his second presidential term playing golf—nearly a third of the total time. In America, they are now counting not just laws, but also golf swings.
How Often Trump Plays Golf
According to the White House, Trump has spent 66 days on golf courses during the first 225 days of his term, including both private clubs and his own properties. Analysts note that this schedule makes golf a significant part of his daily routine.
It was previously reported that during the first 8 weeks of his second term, Trump played 11 times, despite promises to focus on running the country. Out of the first 191 days of his second term, he spent 75 days at his own paid properties, with 45 of those days dedicated to golf.
- During his first term, Trump played around 261 rounds of golf, averaging one round every 5-6 days.
- For comparison, his predecessors spent significantly less time on the golf course, although the game remained a traditional part of the presidential routine.
Analysts emphasize that this high level of activity on golf courses could influence the public’s perception of the president’s priorities. Some believe that regular golf trips are a distraction from governing, while others note that the game allows for maintaining business and diplomatic contacts in an informal setting.
