Trump Installed a $50K Golf Simulator in White House: Report
President Trump has reportedly installed a room-sized “golf simulator” game at the White House, according to two people told about the system, The Washington Post reports.
The simulator allows the president to play virtual rounds at courses all over the world by hitting a ball into a large video screen. The system cost about $50,000, which Trump paid for personally, according to a White House official. This simulator replaced a less sophisticated one that had been installed by President Obama, according to two people with knowledge of the previous system.
President Trump’s schedule is dominated by “executive time,” large periods in his day where the president’s schedules show no official meetings. Aides have said he often spends this time watching TV, tweeting, holding impromptu meetings, and making phone calls. During three months of Trump’s schedules, “executive time” accounted for 60 percent of his scheduled hours. Trump says that he uses the time productively, tweeting that “when the term Executive Time is used, I am generally working, not relaxing.”
