And the biggest hypocrite award goes to… Donald Trump, of course!
On Saturday, the president played some golf with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan at two of his courses in South Florida. This is ironic, since the businessman spent the last few years bashing Barack Obama for hitting the links while being POTUS. Classic, Drumpf!

In fact, this is the Commander-In-Chief’s SECOND visit to Florida — where his properties Mar-a-Lago, Trump National Golf Club, and Trump International Golf Club are located — since taking office back on January 20. The Orange politician even proudly took to Twitter to brag about his golf outing as he wrote:
Played golf today with Prime Minister Abe of Japan and @TheBig_Easy, Ernie Els, and had a great time. Japan is very well represented!

This would be a pretty harmless tweet if Trump didn’t spend SO MUCH time and energy on dragging Obama for the exact same thing. Be sure to ch-ch-check out ALL of the times the words “golf” and “Obama” came pouring out of Donald and onto the internet (below).
“@pellscuse11: @realDonaldTrump Who plays more golf, yourself or the President? My money is on POTUS.” You win!

“@TheBigJamesG: What kind of president doesn’t get playing golf after a cruel beheading isn’t the thing to do? Detached from reality he is”

We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.

However, the controversial celebrity wasn’t always against politicians playing golf as, back in 2012, the 70-year-old noted:
I look forward to playing golf with President @BarackObama someday.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 20, 2012
Obama should play golf with Republicans & opponents rather than his small group of friends. That way maybe the terrible gridlock would end.

*eye roll* We’re just so done with this man already. Ugh.
