There is a calendar on the site showing which days he was confirmed to have been golfing. There are many on the weekends, but not all, which means “work week” time was spent golfing.
Eight days so far during ‘work week’ time. If he was going on his own dime, this wouldn’t be worth talking about.
It just makes a better talking point to say ‘he’s golfed 37 days out of 152’ despite it not being about how he’s using his weekends (assuming we hold government to the same 5 on 2 off standard as most of us have) when it’s really about how much it’s costing.
A better headline would be ‘President spends income tax of 20,000 Americans on personal entertainment’.

Agreed, but the person I’m responding to made a point about weeks vs. weekends.
