Donald Trump has reportedly spent about $71m in taxpayer-funded costs on golfing during his second term, and if his current pace continues, that total could reach $300m by the end of his term.

According to a HuffPost analysis, Trump’s latest visit, on Wednesday, marked his 16th trip to Mar-a-Lago this year, with each trip costing $3.4m in travel and security.

If Trump makes two more trips to Mar-a-Lago in December, his 2025 golf costs would surpass $75m, putting his total for the term over $300m, the outlet said.

During his first term, Trump spent $151.5m in taxpayer-funded golf travel and security.

    If a Democrat pulled this shit, Republicans would pass laws to outlaw it in a heartbeat.

    What is “this shit”? Does Nanci Pelosi’s insider trading count as “this shit” or you people only notice “shit” when republicans do it more blatantly?

    You people are sheep heading for the culling and you decide whose team you’re on, the herder or the butcher.

      If any democrat president spent this amount of money on golf the Republican echo chamber would be so bad, they’d legislate into law that presidents could no longer use government funds for golf outside of government owned courses.

      Insider trading is bipartisan issue, do you actually believe it’s only Nancy?

      You people are in a cult who try to use whataboutisms instead of holding people in power accountable
