Our prime minister has taken covid seriously this whole time. I’m sure it’s a total coincidence that people are fine with her talking about her downtime but not with nonstop golf playing and Fox News watching from a president who did fuck all about the pandemic and then said “it is what it is” when hundreds of thousands of Americans died.

I think the issue is more “please fix this country like you promised” and not “he needs to work 24/7” because I mean, golfing is a relaxing sport and I get why the president would need to unwind. It’s just when all you see is golfing in the media and no one fixing what’s wrong with the country, it gets old seeing the rich on tv relaxing while you have 3 jobs this Christmas because of the pandemic.

Thank you for submitting to r/unpopularopinion, u/MacStylee. Your post, I'm fine with our leaders going golfing., has been removed because it violates our rules:
Rule 3: No political posts.
The realm of politics is the greatest bane of this subreddit, because virtually all opinions within politics are controversial, but virtually all of them are not unpopular. If your view is held by one of the two major political parties, it is not unpopular. Anything else is almost certainly a repost.
Post anything political in the relevant megathread of the megathread hub, which can be found when sorting the subreddit by "hot", sticky'd at the top of the page.

The issue isn’t the golfing, it’s how much it costs to golf.
Depends where you go, in Canada golf is far less of an elite sport than in other countries
Again though, that's not really the leader's fault. If world leaders were to go out for a bike ride it would be similarly expensive. The cost isn't in the sport, it's in all the hoopla surrounding the action.
(To be clear I think golf is an exceptionally dull sport, with virtually nothing redeeming it.)
