Dwight Eisenhower has nothing on Donald Trump.
Well, kind of.
Trump, who is toying with the idea of running for president, has said he would play more golf than Eisenhower, if elected. The 34th President of the United States reportedly played about 200 times a year, according to Golf Digest.
"[Eisenhower] played quite a bit, but I have a big advantage," said Trump, who is about a 3 handicap. "I've got a course 30 minutes from the White House that is absolutely fantastic, Trump National in D.C. What I did say was I'd be the best golfer of any President."
Barack Obama, who is more known for his interest in hoops, is no stranger to the links. You better believe Trump, who on Wednesday took credit for Obama releasing his birth certificate, has done his homework on Obama's stroke.
"I've only seen his swing," Trump told Golf Digest. "He's a good natural athlete. It actually looks like he's got great potential as a golfer. I see Obama take some swings that some people say are bad, and I'll say, 'No, that's a great swing.' People are not going to believe it, but I say what I say."
Although Trump claims he would play more than Ike, he also said he would lay out some limitations, just as George W. Bush did. Bush didn't play during the last few years of his presidency because he said doing so during the Iraq War would send the "wrong signal."
"It's a great game, but there's a time to play, and a time not to play," Trump said. "When the U.S. is invading Libya, [the President] should not be out playing golf."
