US taxpayers have shelled out tens of millions of dollars for Trump’s golf trips
The president, who derided Barack Obama for golfing while in office, even makes money off his Mar-a-Lago weekends
Right, but we have to have the dumbass teenagers that are breaking into the Treasury payment systems and USAID and so on focus on ending "waste" by....cutting life-saving things in USAID. Also, they will be ending a lot of "fraud" by making sure farmers have no place to sell their food.
But at least little d gets to play golf at our expense. I'm sure that's not abuse.
Does anyone know what the MAGA crowd thinks of this? Do they even know that this is what is happening with all the money doge is "saving"? I mean obviously it's not just this, but in general all of these rich assholes just treating the government like their personal piggy bank?
They don't care. They like the DOGE stuff because they believe he is targeting left-wing people and projects in the government, they don't care about the money at all.
You can never pin them down on hypocrisy because they just don't care. There is no light behind their eyes.
"He's just working so hard! He should be allowed to unwind!" - magats.
To be fair most presidents have worked hard, for better or for worse, so they do deserve some R&R. Not putins bitch though
For fuck's sake he's doing the exact same fucking thingS he did the first goddamn time. We had a website to track it. Damn news needs to stop acting like this shit is new.
Edit: Good lord I forgot an S and apparently ruined someone's day...

I think this is the first, or maybe second, article I've seen about Trump golfing since Jan 20. I don't think they're acting like it's new, they're just reporting on how much hit has already cost us.
Gross for anyone to abuse tax money like this, but the guy is literally a criminal responsible for the deaths of innocent people he was tasked to govern as well as a traitor to the United States in the truest sense of the definition. The juxtaposition of this golf shit for someone that should be hanging at the end of a rope is infuriating.
When is Zeus going to look down and strike this man with lightning.
Knowing what I do about Zues, he'd probably turn himself into a female pig and let trump impregant him. Give birth to the bastard and then just fast track the abomination to hades.
You won the internet for the day.
But Obama wore a brown suit and ate Dijon mustard.
Simpler times.

Donald J Hypocrite.
Yes, but you have to understand - Obama was doing this while Blah, and that drove little d and all his base absolutely fucking crazy(ier).
It's so awesome to have a president who doesn't just stop at being corrupt, but actually adds extra layers of corruption on top of the original ones.
He's like the Monty Python spam skit - "Corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, corruption, fascism, and corruption."
It is an exact repeat of Trump's first term as far as golf goes.
Trump also complained about how many executive orders prior presidents wrote...
Americans to doge...
Keep the golf trips, just get rid of Musk and Doge.
They all need to go.
I ask the Divine, please bring a thunderbolt from a clear sky as he lifts his golf club. May it be, and the people will rejoice
I know the answer to this but you’d think after almost getting merked twice (and once at his own golf course), he’d play on the secure courses at the Joint Base Andrews for a bit.
Obviously, that ruins the grift of charging the government for accommodations but he’s already or is planning to fire >100k people. Even if 0.01% of those people are unstable, that’s still a double digit number of lone wolves for the secret service to constantly worry about. (Not to mention all the intelligence agencies and terrorist groups currently pissed at him.)
Maga will never care and will always justify or rationalize it in the most idiotic ways.
For a lot of things, they've just stopped even bothering with the pretext. They don't even try to justify or rationalize anymore.
I don't know how you reason with that.
Then it's a GOOD THING we DEFUNDED Children's School Lunches! NOW we can afford Golf Trips!
That’s just the beginning of what he makes us pay for.
It's almost as if he's only in it for the grift...
I read the title as "golf tips", thinking he had sold millions of pamphlets that just said to pick up the ball when no one is looking and move it.
This is the least bad thing he has done though. Why are there so many news stories about it?
Because I want my tax money going to worthwhile shit.
People on here love to talk about what "they" will think or not think.
This has nothing to do with some other and their perception. This is about me and my tax dollars and how they're used.
Trump isn't only bad for our standing in the world, he's wasting our money.
Probably because this time around they focused on government waste. Spending tens of millions of golfing trips, that's just going to continue throughout his presidency, seems pretty wasteful.
Doesn't mean its not still bad.
