Thankfully, he hasn't let his pesky job in the White House get in the way of his practice, having taken 23 golf trips since moving into the office 136 days ago.
Which, combined with his divisive domestic agenda and renegade approach to foreign policy, has gone down poorly with voters.

Donald will probably do even better in office.
Mr Trump criticised his predecessor Barack Obama heavily for his golf rounds while in office.

Trump has massively outpaced Obama for the number of rounds he has played in office.
