President Donald Trump has been spotted on his West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course on Tuesday and Wednesday, despite his tweet saying he’d be “back to work in order to Make America Great Again” the day after Christmas.

According to pool reports, Trump arrived at the Trump International Golf Club just after 9 a.m. on both days.

I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work in order to Make America Great Again (which is happening faster than anyone anticipated)!

Trump is spending the holidays at the Mar-a-Lago resort he owns in Palm Beach, Florida. His Wednesday trip to the nearby golf course marks the 86th day he spent at one of his golf properties since he became president, according to NBC News. It’s also his 112th day at a Trump-owned property since he took office.

CNN cameras captured Trump at play on Tuesday. But the White House would not confirm if Trump would golf during his Wednesday visit to the course.

Naturally, many on social media have remarked on Trump’s leisure-time pursuits:

“I’m going to be working for you, I’m not going to have time to go play golf,” - @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/gxGAivJs0A #RememberWhen

To those that tweeted at me trying to say @cnn shouldn't report on Trump playing golf....this is why they're doing it. He's taken more vacation days than any other recent President. https://t.co/MMWuaxWagh

There is little doubt that Trump will go down in history as the President who has spent more time playing golf on private golf courses at public expense than any President since John Quincy Adams.

This year, Trump has spent $91,655,424 of American taxpayer money on golf trips.

If you are struggling now, to buy present, pay your heat bill, buy medication, or anything else, just remember this one simple fact.

Trump does not care about you.

From Trump pretending he’s not golfing during his visits to golf resorts to Paul Ryan pretending he wrote a middle class tax cut it’s a bottomless pit of bad faith and needs to be seen for what it is.

Per pool report, Trump is golfing today in Florida. His 85th day golfing and 111th at a Trump property since becoming president.

That means

33.5% of his days as president have been at Trump properties

and

25.6% have been spent golfing

We can’t wait to see what sort of presidential games 2018 brings.
