Golf: Trump's Unconventional Workout and Political Play

Donald Trump has a unique approach to fitness. He doesn't like traditional workouts. He finds treadmills boring. Instead, he prefers golf. He plays it often. He even calls it his exercise. Trump shared this with the Wall Street Journal. He said he doesn't enjoy long hours on a treadmill. He'd rather spend that time on the golf course. Trump's health choices are interesting. He takes a daily aspirin. He says it keeps his blood thin. His doctor agrees he's in good health. But is golf really enough exercise? It's a question worth asking. Golf is more than a hobby for Trump. He's passionate about it. He plays often. He's won many club championships. His granddaughter Kai also loves golf. She started young. Trump has made golf a big part of his life and business. He owns courses in Florida and Scotland.Trump's love for golf isn't just personal. It's political too. His administration ended a lease for three public golf courses in Washington, D. C. The National Links Trust managed them. But they didn't make required renovations. The courses are in important locations. One overlooks the Potomac River. Another is near Rock Creek Park. The third is significant to Black golf history. The future of these courses is uncertain. The nonprofit will keep running them for now. But big changes might be coming. Trump has a history of rebranding public spaces. He's also tried to influence the Smithsonian Institution. And he's involved in bringing the Washington Commanders back to the city. Maybe with a stadium named after him. Is golf Trump's workout or his political tool? Maybe it's both. Either way, it's clear that golf plays a big role in his life. And it's a role that's likely to keep growing.
