Donald Trump's Website Mocks Obama For Golfing When It Goes Down
Embedded in the source code for Trump's official website is a partisan error message that pops up when there is a problem.

Donald Trump has spent several days recently on the golf course, and has golfed far more than any president in history in his first year in office. And yet, if you encounter an error at DonaldJTrump.com, you'll get this message: "Oops! Something went wrong. Unlike Obama, we are working to fix the problem... and not on the golf course."
Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham pointed out that this line appears in the source code on action.donaldjtrump.com websites. TechCrunch reported that it does not appear to show up in main donaldjtrump.com websites.
The line also appears on official GOP sites, including the GOP.com homepage. In addition, there is a 404 message that reads: "What do Hillary Clinton and this link have in common? They’re both dead broke."

As Vice's Paul Glenn noted, the code itself appears to be broken due to a typo in the code.
Talk about Trump's golfing habits seem to be intensifying, if anything. On Christmas Day, he tweeted "I hope everyone is having a great Christmas, then tomorrow it’s back to work."

But Trump didn't go back to work. Instead, CNN cameras captured him continuing to golf on Tuesday. The next day, CNN tried to get yet another video of the president golfing, and found a large white box truck block the cameras' line of sight, and the Secret Service reportedly claimed they weren't the ones who ordered the truck to be parked there.
Meanwhile, the White House has refused to say if Trump is golfing, even after being captured on film.
