Donald Trump doesn’t seem intent on getting much done from the Oval Office, but he’s all about hanging out at the golf course. One guess where he is today:
President Trump is at Trump National Golf Club in Potomac Falls, VA, per pool; it's his 9th golf course trip since taking office 7 weeks ago

It is unknown if Trump is actually playing golf or engaging in more public conversations about national security matters.
Trump has been widely criticized for his hypocrisy after repeatedly attacking President Obama for playing golf instead of running the country, and with good reason.
He promised he would be too busy working for us to play golf, but like his other promises, this one hasn’t come to pass.
It’s not like he has a country to run. Or rather, he does, but just as Paul Ryan doesn’t know how to draft a health care bill, Donald Trump doesn’t know how to run the country. So he plays golf. And holds rallies.
The conclusion is inescapable: Donald Trump isn’t a president. He just plays one on TV as he is proving again today.

His interests include, besides history and philosophy, human rights issues, freedom of choice, religion, and the precarious dichotomy of freedom of speech and intolerance.

He maintains his own blog, A Heathen’s Day, which deals with Heathen and Pagan matters, and Mos Maiorum Foundation www.mosmaiorum.org, dedicated to ethnic religion.
