It’s costing the taxpayers a lot of money. Puts an end to the lie Republicans are worried about cutting spending and stopping waste fraud and abuse. It’s all bullshit.


Update:
Since it was pointed out the article above was a 2020 report. Of course Trump has just gotten worse over time

Trump spending taxpayer money to enrich himself is UP from 33% to 39%

Ethics and conflicts of interest is a nothing burger to Trump and his supporters. However, have a no-name liberal commit the same travesties of justice that Trump have been allowed to perpetrate without penalty and his supporters will hypocritically double standard that to hell and back screaming bloody murder all the way.

The kicker here is that Trump's MAGAts see absolutely nothing wrong with being that way. They've had to make that sacrifice of logic, practicality and common sense all in order to ignore, divert and deflect from Trump's constant flouting of decorum, protocol and any law that gets in his way. They've all become accessories to his crimes.

You spend 100% of your time being a fucking idiot. That article is from Aug 2020.
Ok I will give you that one. Let see if it has gotten better. OMG the number is up from 33% to 39%

That makes YOU the idiot for thinking Trump would ever do the right thing.
He went to one of his clubs 16 of his first 17 weekends, and he has now spent time at his businesses on 75 of his first 190 days back in office

lol. you happily pay for Trump's golf trips because you're a pedo-loving MAGAT sap.

what is it like to be such a fucking stooge for the criminally wealthy class that are all to happy to shove you into the grinder after they've gleefully extracted every last penny that you seem all too happy to send to them?

I think it's fantastic that the shit stupid on this board are always willing to stand up for each other. Useful idiots being useful.

The zbitch rants are particularly funny. Please keep it up. It's the best free comedy there is.

I sometimes wonder what motivates someone to largely ignore a message board only to return occasionally to tell everyone there how much he hates them.

Like, what kind of sad weirdo does this?

For the record number of Rounds of golf...

2 terms Obama 330
1 term Trump 240

I'll look up the money spent because Trump almost goes to his clubs thereby enriching himself.

But Trump once famously said "I won't have time to play golf"

They also called Obama the "golfer in chief" but trump has been golfing far more. On top of that, he's just straight up funneling taxpayer money to his own resorts and courses, if right wingers really cared about corruption then they'd be calling for trump's head. That's not even mentioning the other shit he's doing out in the open like accepting a jet as a gift and his stupid crypto coin. Trump being completely corrupt out in the open is no problem for right wingers, but even after the endless investigations couldn't find shit on Biden they're still claiming he's the most corrupt president ever.

Because honesty and consistency are not values that conservatives hold as being independently good or important.

I promise you if there is ever another Democratic president and they go golfing conservatives will go right back to complaining about it. They will also decide that president is corrupt and at the center of some criminal enterprise despite very publicly not caring about Trump's corruption.

Again, it's all a game to them and not only do they know they're being hypocrites, they delight in watching people dance to their tune as if they aren't.

I think many of them have deluded themselves into thinking they're not hypocrites, because "it's different".
Sort of like the whole "the only moral abortion is my abortion" thing. "I'm not being a hypocrite, this is different!"

The grass root Republicans have been trained to blindly attack Trump's enemies and defend Trump and his sycophants on command by their handlers over at FOX.

Don't forget, the majority of Obama golf rounds were on the officer's course at Joint Base Andrews, which is already in a secure area and a short Marine Force One trip from the White House. The costs of Obama's trips were next to nothing on their own, never mind in comparison to Trump's. Hell, during Trump's first term, Secret Service spent MILLLIONS just renting golf carts till the press found out and then they bought their own for a few thousand a pop.

And he wasn't pocketing the $$$ from the govt renting out additional carts/etc to all the USSS personnel either.

Almost 40% of the time in office spent at his own properties? No wonder people are upset about the costs. Feels like he’s mixing business with government way too much. Definitely not what you’d expect if you want spending cuts or to stop waste.
