Donald Trump hates for people to think he plays golf instead of working as our president.
The fact of the matter is Trump has now spent 77 days since taking office playing golf.
Which explains why there was a little waffling on Trump's schedule for today per the White House.
At 6:51AM, the White House staff told the press pool that this would be a "low-key" day.
But just minutes later, clearly Trump didn't like the message that sent, the WH staff corrected that statement saying "the press" would have a low-key day, but the Trumpster would have a "full schedule of meetings and phone calls."
Trump even tweeted it out for the world to see.
Will be having meetings and working the phones from the Winter White House in Florida (Mar-a-Lago). Stock Market hit new Record High yesterday - $5.5 trillion gain since E.

But at 9:26AM Trump arrived at Trump International Golf Club in Florida to play golf.

9:26AM—Pool reports that Trump has arrived at Trump International Golf Club in FL. https://t.co/48CTGeseNL
Should be noted: Just 80 minutes before Trump arrived at his golf club, the White House made the pool correct an earlier report that said Trump was having a “low-key day” to “the president will NOT have a low-key day and has a full schedule of meetings and phone calls”.— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 22, 2017

As I've said before, I wouldn't have a problem with a president playing golf occasionally.
But Trump spent much of the past 8 years criticizing President Obama for playing golf EVER.
And, on the campaign trail, Trump often told his followers there wouldn't be time for golf because he'd be so busy working on behalf of the American people.
Hypocrisy is so confusing, isn't it?
The Washington Post has composed this handy-dandy graphic showing when and where Trump visited his properties and golf courses.
