Fun Fact - Since elected, Trump has spent $110 million in taxpayer money on golf outings. Enough to fund his own annual Presidential salary for 275 FREAKING YEARS. Or, enough to pay the total salaries of 68 one (1) term Presidents.
All on golf, and all at taxpayer expense.

Both Trump and Pence are at Trump properties at this moment on Labor Day. Trump is at his golf course in VA while Pence is staying at a Trump golf course in Ireland, per pool. (CNN photo below)

(57,404 posts)He may or may not be able to get away with shooting someone on 5th Avenue but he sure as hell is getting away with extracting money directly from the US Treasury into his own pockets right before our eyes.

Republicans owe American taxpayers are huge refund. They have robbed us to provide luxuries for Republican billionaires.
Republicans are sick.

(13,776 posts)What a sweet deal Trumps worked out: he plays golf and gets paid for the Secret Service etc to stay at his own hotel. No wonder hes spent about a third of his term golfing.

(56,840 posts)A good portion of that is money paid to Trump properties and golf courses, since most of the golfing is done at his own properties.
Let's conservatively estimate that at 2/3 of the $110 million, or $73 million or so.
Brainfodder
(7,181 posts)Kinda hoping he drops dead in a sand bunker as a fitting end to this whatever.
I'm not too concerned, I think his assets will all be seized and owned by the American people soon enough?
Looking forward to my $20 cut?

(2,827 posts)of the 110 million cash goes right back in his pocket as he and his family are paid profits from the businesses. Self dealing grifter.

(43,201 posts)he tried to stay on golf courses on military bases to keep the expenses down.
And he sure as hell didn't get any personal gain out of it.
the Dumpster made a "big scandal" out of THAT during his campaign.
"I won't have time to play golf if I'm elected president."

She has a secret plan?
So did Nixon. How well did that work out for 30,000 of us over his disgraceful 6 years in office?
You may be here in November 2020, Nancy (I call her Nancy!), but a lot of us might not be.
