Between 2011 and 2016, Donald Trump tweeted at least 27 complaints, jokes, or scoldings about Barack Obama playing golf while president.

According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, Obama played 333 rounds of golf over the course of his eight years in office (from January 20, 2009 to January 20, 2017).

Meanwhile, CNN reports that as of May 25, 2020, Trump had played golf 266 times (since he was sworn in on January 20, 2017).

Solution to the Problem:

First, you must compute the number of days for each President:
Obama: 1/20/2009 - 1/20/2017: 2,923 days in office
Trump: 1/20/2017 - 5/25/2020: 1,222 days in office

Now set up two proportions to determine the number of rounds of golf in 30 days:

Obama:
333 / 2923 = x / 30
solving, you get 3.418 rounds per 30 days.

Trump:
266 / 1222 = x / 30
solving, you get 6.530 rounds per 30 days.

So, Trump played much more golf than Obama.
