Trump spending too much time on golfing and campaigning too little, say aides

Aides to former President Donald Trump are reportedly concerned that he’s golfing too much and campaigning too little.

But as his family visits his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course in August, the president seems to prefer hitting the links and appeared bored during a press conference at the course earlier this month. He didn’t seem too pleased about attending a fundraiser with donor Miriam Adelson either, The Washington Post reports.

Former aides told The Post that Trump prefers to have a less hectic schedule during his family’s time in Bedminster when he mostly spends time on the course. But aides, speaking anonymously, also told the paper that they didn’t want the former president sitting at home watching the Democratic convention and getting irate.

This comes as his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance says that he regrets that “a lot of people” took his 2021 “childless cat ladies” comments “the wrong way.”

He told NBC News in an interview broadcast on Sunday that he made “a joke” in “the service of a real substantive point.”

“This country has become too anti-family,” he added. “It’s too expensive to afford a house. It’s too expensive to afford groceries.”
