8/8/20: On Saturday, Trump played his 287th round of golf since taking office. Next to tweeting constantly, the Big Orange Buffoon most lusts for hitting the links.

Trump loves to "get away" from the White House. |

President Trump has spent nearly 30% of his time in office at his own resorts.

Also, he loves to hang out with MAGA friends, at least those who can afford to pay fat fees to join his private clubs. As president, Donald has spent 382 days away from the White House at places he owns. That’s just a shade under 30% of his time since taking charge of the nation.
As a bonus – for the president, anyway – the Secret Service pays premium prices for agents guarding him, when they bed down at his clubs for the weekend.

WHILE TRUMP was zooming around the course in his presidential golf cart, another
54,590 Americans
were diagnosed with COVID-19 on Saturday. Another 1,064 went to the Big Nineteenth Hole in the Sky.

ALSO HAPPENING while the Duffer-in-Chief was out on the links, ignoring his job as president: Canada’s last Arctic ice shelf collapsed. Two icebergs broke off, including one chunk of floating ice the size of Manhattan.
According to Canadian scientists, the shelf was 4,000 years old, and at least 260 feet thick in places. Temperatures in the Arctic this summer are nine degrees higher than the 1980-2010 average.
