How every president approaches enjoying golf is an instance of variations in transparency. Trump was infamous for hiding from the media when he performed golf and who he performed golf with. The press pool can be shuttled off to a special location the place they may not see what Trump was doing.
After getting criticism for the quantity of golf he was enjoying and the massive invoice he was operating up at his non-public golf equipment that the taxpayers have been footing, the Trump administration tried to assert that he was working when he was enjoying golf.
