Say what you want about Trump but you really can't say he hasn't put sufficient hours into the job. It's been widely reported that he has few hobbies, doesn't need much sleep and works day and night at his job. So he played golf one month into his Presidency...

Obama played 333 times.

Do the math. A little less than twice a week.

I never criticized Obama for playing golf. I figured when he was playing golf he wasn't screwing up my healthcare or redistributing income. If you're a neverTrumper I'd think you'd want him to spend more time on the golf course
Edit: Sorry didn't read through to the end and see OP has been corrected

You're either bad at math or bad at history. Obama was president 8 years for a total of 416 weeks.
 
ahh where did sad little bucky wander off to?

It was hilarious to watch him try to weasel out of this statement. Like spicer or propaganda barbie does, almost daily

Pssh, that's easy. 'As much as Obama' means Trump = Obama. Trump is golfing at twice the rate so they aren't equal!

To summarize the contrast between Obama's attitude toward golfing and Trump's:

For Obama, it was a break from a long bout of hard work. As was noted, he didn't play his first round of golf until 3 months in, because he understood that getting the administration in order took priority.

For Trump, it's an opportunity to avoid work he's clearly not interested in beyond the superficial show of it (he likes signing orders on camera and making public presentations, but not diving into the minutiae of policy).

This isn't to say Trump doesn't put in some time. However, it's clear he's a stereotypical executive who's annoyed at having to tackle serious, unglamorous work when he'd rather be using his money to play golf and hobnob with other businesspeople.
 
Trump's all about the trappings of the Presidency and not much about the position itself. He'd rather be on a perpetual campaign trail holding rallies.
 
So based on current rate hopefully he won't be here that long Trump in 8 years 576 rounds

Compared to Obamas 333. Not even close. And his staff is trying to hide it.

Here are some Trump's hypocritical bitch tweets
“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.” Mr. Trump tweeted on Oct. 13, 2014. “Worse than Carter.”

“We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies,” he said a day later. “Then we pay for his golf.”

Then for a third time that month, Mr. Trump tweeted about Mr. Obama’s golf habit on Oct. 23, 2014.

“President Obama has a major meeting on the N.Y.C. Ebola outbreak, with people flying in from all over the country, but decided to play golf!”
