Years ago, I played way too much golf. Towards the end of the season, I played with a friend. When I told him how much I'd played that year, he looked at me aghast and said, "You played that much and you still suck?"

In addition to being a terrible person, Trump is a terrible golfer. He's also a cheater.

That more than $26 million figure is based on 2017 costs, which are almost certainly higher today.

During his first term, Trump’s insistence on playing golf at his own resorts cost taxpayers a total of $151.5 million, with Trump spending 293 days on one of his courses over those four years.


Great point when the MAGA blather on about him 'donating' his salary.

Why aren’t our Democratic representatives screaming this from one coast to the other. Talk about a useable sound bite.
