$100 million


Of which $99.95 million would have been spent regardless of where the President is. You TDS deranged, mentally ill fricks are the worst form of humanity.

Glad to see the economy is doing so well.


We have a Somali Fraud Network in MinneSomalia that has ripped off upwards of $20 billion dollars from the US taxpayers and you're worried about the POTUS playing golf and allegedly costing the US taxpayers $100 million?

I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but there is a reason why they call Mar A Lago, White House Jr. - Why does Trump use Mar A Lago so often? Because he is 100000% positive that his actual home in Florida is not bugged so he holds highly sensitive meetings there

Never once heard you bitching and moaning about how Trump has never accepted a single paycheck for being President.

quote:

Trump—a billionaire—is on pace to spend almost $400 million dollars of taxpayer money over the course of his term to amuse himself.


Tell your people to stop trying to kill this man and perhaps that $400 million for security would probably be cut in half.

Let's see how past Presidents did according to GROK (who all collected their paychecks)

Obama:

Obama's personal travel/vacations (Hawaii, Martha's Vineyard, golf at Andrews) were estimated by Judicial Watch at ~$285–305 million - lower per-trip than some Trump figures because many were shorter/closer flights.

Bush:

Bush took ~1,020 vacation/personal days (highest in the table), with travel/security costs estimated around $340 million total—mostly to his Texas ranch.

Jill Harris:

Exact counts vary by source and methodology because the White House often classified these as "working visits" or personal time at home rather than official vacations. Here's what the public record shows:

Trips to Delaware overall (including both his Wilmington home and Rehoboth Beach house): At least 76 trips by early 2024 (per tallies from Delaware Online/The News Journal and other outlets tracking Air Force One and motorcade movements).

Some reports cited around 100 trips to Delaware by the end of his term. Many of these involved the Rehoboth Beach property.

Days spent at Rehoboth Beach specifically: One detailed analysis put it at approximately 134 days at his Rehoboth Beach home over the full term.

In 2023 alone, he spent 90 days (full or partial) at his Delaware homes combined, with a significant portion at the beach house (including frequent weekends and at least one extended stay).

Broader context on time away: Biden spent all or part of 254 days in Delaware during his first three years (nearly half the weekends of his presidency).

Total "vacation" or time-away days (including Delaware, Camp David, etc.) were estimated by the Republican National Committee at around 532–577 days (roughly 37–40% of his 1,461-day term), with Delaware beach/home time forming the largest chunk. Mainstream outlets like CNN and The Washington Post tracked lower but still substantial figures (e.g., over 250 days away by mid-2023).

What else you got?

These numbers are all bullshite.

If Trump stops during a trip he was on and plays golf while there, the lying MSM counts the expense of the whole trip as just for playing golf



Even liberal leaning ChatGPT read the article and pointed out the falsehoods:


quote:

What’s misleading
The article treats entire presidential trips as “golf costs.”
Those totals include:
Air Force One flights
Secret Service protection
Staff travel
Local police/security
Those costs happen any time a president travels, whether golf happens or not.
Key problem
If Trump was already going to Mar-a-Lago (his residence), then:
Most of the cost = presidential travel + security
Not specifically caused by golf
Where the numbers come from
Estimates are based on a 2017 GAO report:
~$13.6M for 4 trips (~$3.4M per trip)
Trackers reuse that average and apply it to later trips
That’s an approximation, not exact accounting
What is attributable to golf

Golf can add some extra cost:

Additional security at the course
Movement/logistics while playing
But this is only a fraction of total trip cost
Bottom line
The numbers reflect cost of trips where golf occurred
They do not equal the cost of golf itself
Labeling it as “money spent on golf” overstates the impact

I don't need anything else. Like I said in the post you obviously didn't read, all I was doing was clearing up your confusion about what the issue was.

I wasn't taking a position.

I will say this, though. Yeah, other presidents have spent lots of taxpayer money on frivolous nonsense. They pretty much all do.

They also all give money to Israel.

So...

Now subtract the Secret Service costs, since we'd be paying for that anyway.
