In just seven months, Trump has spent the equivalent of 132 presidential salaries worth of taxpayer money playing golf.
132 presidential salaries.
Most of which is paid directly to his private business.
57 MILLION DOLLARS of taxpayer funds squandered.
Will he show that as a loss somehow on his shady taxes? Surely we will never know.
Meanwhile, he is literally stealing close to $1BILLION dollars of taxpayer money with his flying palace scam.
That’s his biggest heist yet.

Our Criminal President is not good at much, but he IS good at scams.

I wouldn't go that far. He's prolific at them, and does make some money, but his record of being caught, fined, banned is pretty bad at them. E.g., his family is banned from involvement in any charity in New York IIRC.
 
 
I mean, he spent less time at vacation properties than Biden.

But it does get expensive protecting a president who has already been shot, and had more than one assassination attempt.

False.

At this juncture in his 2nd term - Trump has spent more time traveling - to games, to golf, etc - than Biden did.



Trump's term 2 corruption by the numbers: More golf trips, more foreign visitors and more profits - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington

Six months into his second term, Trump's corruption is orders of magnitude greater than the corruption of his first administration.

Simply the kind of "hollow" bullshit that the dumbshit Maga's lap up.
I wonder how much Trump's personal wealth has increased since taking the oath.
 
Might need to produce some records that support this.
 
That doesn't change what I said;

Joe Biden’s 577 vacation days over four-year term tops modern presidents

Joe Biden took more days off than any other president in a single four-year term in at least the last 50 years, new data shows.

This is also backed up by the white house public schedule, and the white house press schedule, which is an excellent resource if one wanted to see where the president was traveling. Maybe to their beach house every single weekend of their term...
 
Good for Joe! He inherited a shit hole country and had to turn it all around. Man should have golfed *more*.

I’ve seen several BILLION dollars as the increase in his own personal wealth.

But Biden. I don’t remember Biden saying he’d never have time to play golf because he’d be too busy working and then do the exact opposite.
 
And Trump has travelled MORE than Biden did at this point in his 2nd term.



I’m sorry if you don’t like having the factual details presented to you.

This is well known. There were multiple threads on this site during Biden's term.

You can literally cross check with the White House press pool - they post a public schedule which shows where they report to.

Biden spent far more time at vacation properties .

Sure, Trump travels more, if you insist.

He just spends less time at vacation properties than Biden did. Traveling as president isn't the same as spending time at vacation properties. I think that is obvious.

For sure. Biden never lied about his travel- he was always going to spend more time at vacation properties than any modern president. And he was proud of that fact and never denied it.

Trump, on the other hand, lied about his travel. He juat traveled to vacation properties fewer days than Biden did.
 
There is no evidence that Trump is donating his salary.

There is ample reason to believe he is not doing so.

And it’s not even how much he golfs, it’s how much of those taxpayer dollars winds up in his pockets, while he easily cons the flock into believing he’s so selfless that he works for free by ‘donating’ his salary.
