On April 10, Trump's 69th day in office, convicted felon Trump played golf at the course he owns in West Palm Beach her in Florida. Since his inauguration on Jan. 20, it is his 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.
Billionaire authoritarian oligarch Elon Musk, whom Trump appointed to ferret out "waste and fraud" in government, hasn't said a word about it. He is 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."
Lastly, DJT is planning a military parade for his birthday celebration on June 14 . The cost will be $93 million of our tax dollars!
