CNN, a US news network has unveiled that President Donald Trump spent more than 20% of his first presidential term on golf courts in clubs which he owns in states of Florida, Miami, Virginia, and New Jersey along with another club in Ireland.
The news network assured that the US President spent one day every five days playing golf.
Since January 1st, 2019, he allotted 86 days to play golf with his aides or guests.
He spent 252 days at least on the courts of golf since he assumed office in 2016.
On the other side, Trump spent 333 days to supervise his personal prosperities across the various states, especially in Florida.
CNN pointed out that Trump was not the only president who adores golf.
A number of his predecessors did so.
However, Trump blasted his predecessor Barak Obama for squandering more time in playing golf and basketball.
Trump claimed during his presidential 2016 that Obama spent much time in playing golf to surpass the professional sportsmen in the USA and other countries.
CNN had published statistics revealing that Obama in the course of eight years, performed 333 golf rounds.
But Trump may break this record before terminating his first years in the White House.

During a Christmas Eve call with US service members, Trump was asked about his holiday plans.
"I'm at a place called Mar-a-Lago, we call it the southern White House," he said. "I really pretty much work. That's what I like to do."
But Trump has long been known to mix business with pleasure at his golf properties both before and after assuming office.
As the US military carried out airstrikes in Iraq and Syria late Sunday morning, Trump was at his club. It's unclear whether he was playing golf at the time, however, CNN spotted him on the 14th hole approximately two hours after the strikes.
And while the President has repeatedly railed against impeachment on Twitter during his vacation, it's likely the topic has come up on the links, as well. His golf partners have included former Rep. Trey Gowdy on Sunday, Georgia Sen. David Perdue on Saturday, and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham on Monday.
Trump was seen in the club's dining room with radio host Rush Limbaugh, his son Eric, and acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney the previous weekend. He's also been joined by some less political partners, including golf pro Gene Sauers.
As for Trump's second week of vacation, it's likely the pattern will continue -- highs in the 70s and low 80s in the forecast.
