Trump and golf

March 4, 2025 by Guest Post

by JH Daily, Darby

The president, along with Elon Musk and their DOGE “wood-chipper” and “chainsaw” methods for cutting wasteful governmental spending have missed something – $10.7 million of taxpayer money spent by Donald Trump for playing golf since he took office one month ago. Somehow this expense has escaped the attention of Elon Musk and his “high-IQ” team of waste and abuse hunters.

Trump has taken a golf trip every weekend, and this is likely to occur for the next four years. During Trump’s first term, his golf expenses totaled $152 million. If his second term’s monthly golf expenses per month continue at the same rate, taxpayers could be paying a $500 million bill.

I would much rather my tax dollars go towards feeding hungry children, providing healthcare for veterans, research for cancer and heart disease treatments, or funding local Forest Service employees to take care of our public lands instead of wasting tax dollars on golf outings.

    Joe Biden was on vacation for OVER 1/3 of his presidency and we are paying for his criminal son’s vacation for 3 months to South Africa right now so you should probably sit this one out and go see a therapist.

      Without mentioning Joe Biden, defend Donald Trump costing taxpayers 10 million dollars a month so he can play golf.
