WASHINGTON — American taxpayers have now spent more than $26 million in Donald Trump’s second term so the president can play golf at one of his own courses.

Trump arrived Saturday morning at his golf course in West Palm Beach, adjacent to the county jail and across the Intracoastal Waterway from Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach country club.

It is his 14th day at that course and 18th day on one of his courses since his Jan. 20 inauguration, meaning he has spent more than a quarter of his 69 days in office in his second term playing golf.

According to a HuffPost analysis based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report, the total cost to date for Trump’s second-term golf outings is $26,127,531. The various expenses include moving his motorcade equipment and security personnel around as well as the immense cost of flying Air Force 1.

1. "He deserves it. Who else would stomp out America's food banks?" - G.O.P.

Stories just like this one below are in the news in dozens and dozens of US cities. Just try searching for "food banks" in the news -- and you will see the list goes on .

G.O.P. is stomping out America's food banks so that rich republicons can enjoy their fugging Gourmet Golf.

7. And I think they said the calc

was based on 2017 dollars, so it's even worse...

3. Department of Government Efficiency

So the U.S. Government is paying a Trump business so that he can golf and make money
on his own property.

Christ what a grift.

8. Ha, right!

Surely it would be cheaper to build a course on the White House grounds.

9. Or to put it another way

11. He's been in office for 2 stinking months!

12. Meanwhile, DOGE is now projected to only RAISE the deficit, thus defeating the entire supposed purpose of it.

Trump's fucking golf trips alone are costing us more money than this fucking "department" has saved in WEEKS of firing tens of thousands of government employees.

This country is a joke.
