In First 3 Months in Office, Taxpayers Spend 26 Million Dollars to Send Trump to Florida to Play Golf!!!!

The $26 million dollars taxpayers have spent on sending him to Florida to play golf over the past three months doesn’t seem to have made him very happy, does it? How many people would that have supported on Social Security? According to my Social Security payments, it would have supported 1,300 people’s Social Security for a year!!! Yet we don’t deserve it, I guess.
May be an image of 2 people and people golfing
Today, on his 69th day in office, convicted felon Donald Trump played golf at the course he owns in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since his inauguration on January 20th, it’s his 14th day of golf at that particular property and the 18th time he has played at one of his golf courses.
That means he has played golf on more than a fourth of the days since he was sworn in.
Based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report which detailed the cost to taxpayers for moving his motorcade equipment and security personnel around as well as the immense cost of flying Air Force 1 for each of Trump’s first term golf trips, the total cost to date for Trump’s second-term golf outings is now up to $26,127,531.
I’ll remind you that billionaire authoritarian oligarch Elon Musk, whom Trump appointed to ferret out “waste and fraud” in government, hasn’t said a word about it. He’s apparently too busy firing essential federal workers and veterans and destroying government services which Americans depend on to notice that the president’s devotion to his hobby instead of his nation has cost taxpayers more than $26 million in little more than two months.
Yet Musk, whose companies rake in an estimated $8 million PER DAY from government contracts, keeps complaining about how other Americans with government contracts and those who receive government benefits are the “parasitic class.”
Check yourself, Elon. Check your boss’ grifting, too.

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      Good grief. At least it got her out of my home state..I grew up in South Dakota and a bigger surprise is that John Thune grew up across the street from me..His older sister and brothers grew up with me!!! What are the chances that both the Senate Majority leader and the Sec. Of Homeland Security would be from South Dakota and one from my home town!!! Yes, I grew up in a conservative state but my parents were two of the few Democrats in town. (When Ms. Noem was governor, she gave Trump a little statue of Mount Rushmore with his bus included on it! Have you noticed all his women appointees are very good-looking?

    Where did you get the $26 million from? The report you referenced was issued was in 2019. Is there a new report out? Can you please share your source document? Thank you!

    Can you please share your source for the $26 million? You reference a report from 2019 for his first term, but nothing that would include the number you reference. Thank you!
