People Are So, So, So Over Trump Spending $26 Million In Taxpayer Money On His Golf Trips So Far [View all]

People Are So, So, So Over Trump Spending $26 Million In Taxpayer Money On His Golf Trips So Far (BuzzFeed)

"Not enough of these comments mention that a significant chunk of that money goes straight into his pockets because he literally owns the resort that’s charging the government for using those facilities. That’s the part that bothers me."

If you didn't know, President Donald Trump has reportedly spent 18 out of his first 69 days back in office on one of his golf courses.

That means he's apparently been working on his swing for *one-fourth* of his second term.

According to an analysis by HuffPost — which based its findings on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report — the cost of these outings has cost US taxpayers about $26,127,531.
