Why did the media keep tabs on Trump's golfing, but not on Biden's vacationing?

    Seems like a blatant double standard doesn't it? Over the past couple of months, barely a week has gone by where we haven't seen photos of Biden sunning on a beach somewhere. Where is the criticism from the same media who never let Trump's time spent golfing exit the news cycle?

    So you've seen photos of Biden sunning on the beach every week but not on the media?

    Dude, Biden goes to his house every weekend, often 3 day weekends with no visitor logs.

    As for the double standard, as soon as Trump left office CNN ended it's China virus death count and WaPo stopped tracking lies. Imagine how many lies of Biden would be on that site right now.

    Mainly because Trump himself explicitly stated that he WOULD NOT have time to golf. Biden made no such promise while he campaigned.

    Now, I don't think EITHER should have spent that much time away from the job, but that's the crap candidates we get from
    both parties. But when Trump made explicit promises during the campaign, it becomes far more news-worthy to report the BS.

    Both sides have double standards as hypocrisy is human nature. We tend to be blind to our own hypocrisy yet we can spot the hypocrisy of individuals and groups we at odds with from a mile away. This is the source of our double standards. Human nature is systemic.

    You can get work done at another residence.

    How does one get work done golfing?

    Exactly! Trump said he wouldn't golf...and he did...more times than any president in history after criticizing Obama.

    Because trump specifically said that he was going to golf less than Obama.

    Chester A. Arthur was noted as the president who worked the least hours in the day. Joe Biden is threatening that record. Arthur had Brights Disease which robbed him of his endurance and would kill him soon after his presidency. Biden is old and senile.

    Name one thing Biden has taken responsibility for. Afghanistan was a resounding success, the economy is booming and there is no border crisis. In fact, his mop head press secretary blames everyone on the planet except for Biden.

    Yes he is.

    And it shows just how screwed up Trump was that a senile man could beat him. The Anti-Trump vote was the deciding factor.

    Quite true, but you can’t explain that to the Trumpsters and more than you can explain that Biden is too out of it to go beyond January 20, 2025 to a Democrat. The country is going down the shaft with this pair of octogenarians.

    Because TRAITOR tRump was out golfing, at his resorts, on the government dime, charging the Secret Service exorbitant prices to house his security detail, MORE than he was in the White House; or so it seemed. And he did it AFTER constantly criticizing President Obama for HIS golfing, which comparatively, to any former president but especially to TRAITOR tRump, was hardly at all.

    And yet, according to MAGrate's that senile old man is a master at manipulating ALL government agencies and EVERY media outlet to make TRAITOR tRump look bad, and engineering hundreds of counts of indictment, and other legal woe's like law suites from everyone that has EVER had dealings with TRAITOR tRump. :roll:

    The fact is President Biden has kept an arm's distance from ANYTHING to do with TRAITOR tRump, while bringing the country back to some semblance of normalcy; here and abroad, in spite of ALSO steering a recovering from a world wide pandemic.

    Biden isn’t doing a thing. His puppet masters are running the country. The most ambitious thing he’s done over the past two weeks is drag his beach chair and pose with his aviators and hat on backwards to show that he can stand vertically.

    Horseshit!

    AND! On top of what I listed, in his senility, he's running dozen's of multi-million dollar illicit business so well that all the MAGrate's can find is supposition and innuendo. Do you ever listen to yourselves? :shock:

    Don't forget that they also stopped tracking Trump's golf trips!

    Oh, make no mistake, it simply does not matter if he is on vacation or at the White House. It makes no difference. This thread is simply about media double standard.

    You might notice that the stories are gaining momentum. It's kind of quiet but ears are perking up
