Trump’s first week major decision … Golf or the Economy?

Trump’s presidential campaign incessantly complained about inflation and rising food costs, pointing the finger at former President Joe Biden for the soaring grocery prices. The majority of voters made it clear that the economy was a key factor in the 2024 election, if not the most important one. “First and foremost, we need to provide economic relief to our citizens,” Trump declared at the Republican National Convention in July. “From Day 1, we will work to lower prices and make America affordable again. Because let’s face it, it’s not affordable right now. People can’t survive like this.”

However, it seems like none of his initial orders actually address food prices or inflation. So, what exactly is he doing?

Oh, just playing golf.

President Donald Trump decided to hit the golf course on Monday, despite telling reporters on Air Force One that he would be too busy to play at the beginning of the week. Images of the president enjoying a round at his Doral golf club in Miami were shared by Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie. This leisurely outing may just help Trump surpass the number of rounds he played during his first term – a whopping 289 rounds that cost taxpayers at least $150 million for travel and security. But hey, who needs to worry about the economy when there’s golf to be played, right?
