As we know, Trump and his administration have repeatedly criticized Obama for golfing. Trump has also said, if elected, he would work all the time. Trump has golfed every weekend since elected. He has also repeatedly lied about it.
I don't care about golfing, or if a president doesn't work 24/7, but how do Trump supporters view this?
Does the fact that the the president lies to the public in the same way that a lazy high school boy who doesn't want to do his homework does, bother you at all? Does it say something to you about his character, or do you write it off because it is a lie about something inconsequential?
Second, does the hypocrisy of trying to tear down Obama for things that Trump is now doing to a much greater extreme bother you at all? Does the logical inconsistency make you uncomfortable, or do you just consider this "politics"?
I know lying about golf is small potatoes, but it can speak to how people view the greater lies and inconsistencies, so it interests me to understand how people who like Trump view this.
To Trump supporters he's infallible, perfect, has never told a lie and can do no wrong. I honestly can't understand them.
And you could say thing about Obama or Hillary supporters. As someone who thinks that both sides are crocks and should be in jail I don't get either side. Both sides lie and their supporters have no issue with their guy doing it they just have an issue with the other side doing it. Jess Sessions lied to Congress, so he should go to jail. Yet when you point out that James Clapper lied to Congress and Obama did nothing about it they have no issue with it. The hypocrisy would be funny if this stuff wasn't so important.
