I don’t remember CNN typing articles about Obama’s affinity for basketball (he played every day for 8 years).

Could you people please FACT CHECK?!?!

This is actually good just keep him in there 24/7 for the next few years

Ok and big deal. Why cant presidents have something else to do, besides running a Nation. they have personal time anymore. bullshit news SMH

Yeah, I understand he upgraded Obama's pricy golf simulator that he had installed and paid for it out of his own pocket.

Still cheaper then a swimming pool. hahahahaah

It's worth the 50K to keep him in the basement swinging a golf club while people who actually know what the hell they are doing can run the government. Unfortunately I don't know how many of them are still there.

Lets see, Bill Clinton sexually abused an interim in the Oval Office and Trump installed a golf gizmo.

Milking the budget dollars into his family business is what you should be concerned about.

I hear it’s better than the one Obama installed.

If it’s such a crisis, why aren’t the individual states building their own walls? It’s not like Texas doesn’t have the resources!

You're making yourself look bad again,

CNNLeastTrustedNetwork will not tell Twitter followers the Golf Simulator in WH was installed by former BarackObama , o my to be repaired by realDonaldTrump out of his personal account. Obama used Federal Dollars - of course

The President doesn’t take a salary and he paid for it himself and CNN is still bitching

Nothing wrong with living a bit while working basically 24/7 as our President.

The man hasn’t taken a dalary in two freaking years! Nobody cared about Obama squandering millions from tax payers !

Didn’t Obama put a simulator in too?

I will give Dementia Donnie credit, he paid for this out of pocket.

So what’s the issue?

That is not the point, CNN. He is a conman, a crook, a con, a scam artist, a grifter. That is the point. And there has never been a POTUS who is all that. Stay on point here, don't normalize fascism. Hitler loved dogs. So what?

He's not the first to install a golf simulator, just the first one who plays on it 10 hours a day as 'executive time'instead of leading the nation.

maybe it's the only fore-play he gets now

Maybe he should spend this money to build a couple of yards of the wall he desperately wants..

And you wonder why you are called FakeNews?!?! cnn is an embarrassment!

😂😂😂

He personally paid to upgrade Obama's (personal one). We've had pool tables, bowling alleys, jacuzzis, warm baths, swimming pools, many other things wanted/needed for specific Presidents. Ramps for wheelchairs, too. GO FIND REAL NEWS!!

While skinny Obama pretended to know how to play golf unsuccessfully, now on to basketball, cigarettes, bitches, and Ed Buck.

He is a billionaire who has his own money to do as he wishes with. I would rather him be able to play golf at the White House then travel to play all the time.

You are the ones saying that. It is his money.

Take it out if his salary

So he buys himself a piece of sporting equipment and ... he can buy what he wants and it’s no ones business but his.

Executive time

That and he paid for it with his own money and is an upgrade to what Obama already had...but...facts are hard...

I want one.

Hmmm, you mean the one President Obama put in originally, and President Trump upgraded, paying for it himself? That one?

Well deserved , sir. MAGA

I’ll just leave this here

Paid with his own money ..you forgot that part 🤷🏽‍♀️

But guess who initially installed the simulator? BO

Trump paid for it himself! Tax payers paid for Obama’s!

How many times did Obama golf Seemed like an awful lot to me ..

CNN hates President Trump so they won’t tell you that he pays for the upgrades FakeNews

Yeah but he’s the first to criticize predecessors ..

Turns out Obama installed that machine but why should facts matter to

Paid with his own money ...fake news bs network..and unlike Obama 's who charged the USA taxpayers.

That is waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy cheaper than one trip to Ma ra Lago.

PLEASE, WE'RE LUCKY HE HASN'T GOLD-PLATED EVERYTHING...

Trump also gave away two years of his salary to charity.

THIS is his NEW EXECUTIVE TIME!

Obama installed one at taxpayer expense. Trump paid for his. CNN implies differently. Hire a journalist or two. Oh, and perhaps an editor!

Obama installed the simulator. POTUS Spent his personal money to repair it. QAnon PSBArmy Facts matter

Pres. Obama originally installed it. Pres. Trump upgraded it. What's the big deal?

Fake news, he is updating the one President Obama installed.

Trump paid to improve the golf simulator with his own money, how much did Obama pay for the original installation. Should we all laugh now ....😂😂🤣🤣

He spent his own money....geez!

Democrats have me like Whatevs...

I found an article on trump that I’m ok with. I don’t know how fell about this

And yet he still abusing his power nice going.

Wow. You know Obama had that installed. Your rag of a network even had a segment praising him when it was installed.

This is the least offensive thing he’s ever done

This has already been debunked...upgrades to a simulator Obama installed and he used his own money.... Facts matter whether you like him or not.

Just once can you get a story right...just once?

Only the ignorant people who listen to Fake News...

Problem is the lie Trump put out about not having time to golf.

Rrrrrg

Now we know what he does during his executive time

Why does “pricey” have to be in the tweet if he paid for it himself? FakeNews

Obama put it in originally and Trump replaced it with his own money.

$50 K of his own money .... tell the truth....

Who paid for the simulator?!

He paid for it,himself. Kinda important detail.

Tiger, please help his swing!

Well, I guess he needs more executive time to give his tiny fingers a break from tweeting.

He has donated his ENTIRE SALARY since he's been in office.

Oh sthu, CNN!

Get over it.

Great idea if it saves a million$ every weekend flying his lard ass to Florida.

Cnn who paid for it? 2 years in offices and no pay The Last President that took no pay JFK. JUST THE FACTS

Your taxpayer dollars at work. Or really not at work.

Simulator was installed by Obama with taxpayer money. Trump upgraded it with his own......See the difference

Lol try again old berry had that put in

The difference is he will no doubt spend much much more time doing it than any other president.

I don’t see anything wrong with it he still sucks.

I wonder how much he charges the Secret Service to rent carts on his imaginary courses?

Good for him! Enjoy and keep working hard!

He paid for it himself and it was an updated, more accurate version of one OBAMA had already installed. Just stop please

It needed replacement. The last guy wrote it out.

Fake news, actually Odumba installed it.

Nero fiddled whole Rome burned. I guess Trump will putt ad nation falls.

I'm fine with it, perks of the job.

Boo hoo

Golf simulator in the WhiteHouse - I guess that means more ExecutiveTime 🇷🇺

Yes but he's the 1st person to spend more than half his time in the WH playing the game and calling it executive time

But Trump is the first one to do it who said he would never golf, he would be too busy.

And you wonder why you are called fake news!!!

He paid for it with his own money and he hasn't got to play it yet bc he is busy kickin' ass!

BTW CNN SUCKS

So realDonaldTrump isn’t the first - just the only - to rub this in folks’ faces while they’re trying to recover from his TrumpShutdown!!! dictatorinchief with a paidescort, FLOTUS

He should have followed Obama & Eisenhower lead, Jet to Augusta, stay in the Presidential Lodge on the Turn

FAKE NEWS: Obama installed the indoor golf sim; Trump is upgrading it. CNN TELL THE TRUTH

Guess what, it's his money, not the tax dollar and he can do whatever he likes with it... Go .realDonaldTrump I hope it improves your game and helps you relax to enable your POTUS work to flow smoothly...

50k your worried about 50k?

I’m gonna penalize you for this cheesy headline. 🙄

Maybe it will hell him lose some weight....

It’s not that he is enjoying some recreation a few hours a day. It’s that he acts like he is working oh so hard and meanwhile really just watching TV and apparently indoor golfing all day and calling it Executive time. We know how hard other presidents worked compared to Trump

Feeling sicker than normal. Have we all not suffered enough

Did you report it was his own money he spent!

CNN editors; “Run with it, as long as you word it to make Trump look bad.”

Soooo he paid for it. Why not report that? Just have to remain vile? Right cnn?

Let him play , less time for Trump to eff something/anything up.

Shouldn't your network be more concerned about an attempted coup to take down the President

FakeNews. He upgraded the simulator OBAMA Installed, and he did it with his own money! You guys can't get anything right....

Who paid for it?

Who paid for it CNN? Did you ask that question yet?

realDonaldTrump True but this mental midget has spent 35%++ of his time in office golfing somewhere other then in the WH! So yes we can call him the Lazy Bum that he really is!

looooool yo let the man play a few holes in the house will ya!?

Ok why dont you post a list of how much time/money every American president has spent on golfing? Maybe do some real reporting instead of pandering to gop for no effing reason!!

Trump spending $50,000 for a video game while 800,000 federal workers & countless subscontractors weren’t being paid; we’ve lost all sense of morality, leadership & concern for our fellow Americans.

Take out the bowling alley and basketball court.

He replaced Obama’s simulator and he paid the $50k out of his own money...

dont lie omg it was obama that did this PPL pls research this CNN IS LYING ONCE AGAIN...its time to sue we the ppl r sick of the lies

This is small potatoes. He does enough other horrendous things to get a pass on something like this. Truman installed two bowling lanes in '46.

He’s too obese to get to the golf course now

Did ilhan Omar marry her brother?

He’s given away his salary .....

How is this even news worth reporting?

Melania Trump (FLOTUS) 2/14/19, 4:05 PM Loved sharing an afternoon with such sweet valentines! Your bravery, strength, and love is amazing. Thank you to the TheChildrensInn and NIH for the lifesaving work you are doing! HappyValentinesDay

Annnnnnnnd.....Still HEART ATTACK fat!

He has put up with so much shit POTUS can install whatever he wants !!! From the American people - we wish POTUS the best!!!

Presidents are people? They do stuff? Tell me more!

If anyone were to get the facts... he's replacing the one OBAMA installed. And with his own money.

what a worthless facility....

Probably cheaper to do this than flying to places spending more time and money....

Who gives a shit? I seem to remember his predecessor pulling up the tennis court and having a basketball court put in. What I don't remember is anyone batting an eye to it.

The guy is a dinosaur, let him have fun before he is gone... he is paying for it!

As much as hate the guy watch the video, he actually paid for something for a change

Who paying for 45 millions to claim legal refuge? Radical Left is enemy- for life in prison. Pelosi change law instantly BLACKPINK ValentinesDay ValentinesDay2019 Valentines ThursdayThoughts Cancer shrink? No b/c enemy BREAKING news

You folks really have a hard time with the truth don't you. You're also petty

WOW CNN and in the mean time your buddy OBAMA gave away billions in cash to your other friends of IRAN 🤫🤔

Umm the other presidents got up and went to work in the morning.....this is the least of this man's problems..he's more than willing to piss away our tax $$...Melania spent $100K in one day at a hotel and didnt even stay the night

Weird that CNN Propaganda isn’t covering the fake racist attack on Jussie Smollett? 🤔

Obama put it in originally...

Where is Ruth? Whats going on with the 2 black faces in Virginia and sexual offender? Where is the 3.5 billion that California took to build a train -American wants it's money back. This is better topics to discuss

This was done with his own money to replace the system Obama putnin with tax payers money!

Look I’m know fan of this Jackass but if he paided for it with his own money why is this a story

Someone can try to hit Trump with a golf club. (he looks like a ball)

Nonsense. $50k is reasonable. Is this really a story?

He paid for it. CNN = 💩

Spends a 1/3rd of his time golfing, and that's not enough? He watches TV a 1/3rd of his time in the White House... how lazy is this son of a bitch?

He didn't install it...Obama did.

I don't care if Trump golfs. I didn't care if Obama did or Bush or any of them. PresidentBoneSpurs is a disaster when he's not golfing. Incidentally he's declaring a National Emergency & he's gonna spend the weekend golfing. What sort of Emergency can that be?

Trump is the worst, let’s be clear, but this ain’t a concern. The fact that he’s a stupid and terrible person is; awesome golf room isn’t.

Does it convey? Considering 2020 presidential bid...

Whata bout! OBAMA HILLARY! WALL!!!!!

Inglorious bastard 😂👌👍

How many meals would that buy for hungry children in this country? SICK

Bury the lede. BarackObama had the GolfSimulator installed. realDonaldTrump just made it better. Like he always does. Winning

From an avid CNN guy... are we really running pieces on his Golf Simulator...you guys are driving and supporting the rights narrative....I think we could find something a little more important to report on...

What makes me the maddest is that it's much less likely realdonaldtrump will be struck by lighting in a simulator.

Nothing wrong with that, all presidents spend money. I'm democrat.

Hey fake news. Your forgetting a small detail. Trump paid for it out of his pocket. With his money. Not taxpayer dollars! Like Obama did before him. But nice try fake news!

Thanks President Trump for caring for America!

No WE paid for it.

Sounds cool! i don't care what he does anymore. i gave up.

Here we go with the false equivalency again. The issue is not that Trump golfs: it’s that he does it WAY more than any other president—and this after promising he’d never have time to golf because he’d be “working too hard”.

Who gives af. Always twisting everything to make your own leader look bad

no he is not

$50K is cheap! I bet one golf outing would cost millions bc of security, private plane, reserving a whole golf course... It's a good thing for him to blow off some steam with something he enjoys while having the most stressful job in the world

He upgraded the golf simulator Obama installed. Nothing more. Stop lying.

But I’m sure he is the first to pay for it out of his own pocket...

Can the media get off this story....really? He has bigger issues!

Didn't Obama install that golf simulator? And didn't Trump upgrade it using his own money?

Ahhh but you LIE again. That was actually installed by Obama and Mr Trump made it the way he wanted it AT HIS EXPENSE

Hilarious 😂
