Donald Trump has this weekend taken his twelfth golfing holiday since his presidential inauguration just over nine weeks ago.

Departing the White House for the Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, it is unclear whether he plans to do anything other than tee off.

The White House has made no comment regarding the trip, which the US leader's eighth consecutive weekend visit to a Trump-owned property, according to NBC News.

Each of these trips costs $3 million (£2.4 million), according to an analysis by the Politico website. If correct, the President's golfing trips alone may have already cost the taxpayer $36 million dollars (£28.9 million)

meanwhile Obama's personal trips cost $86M in EIGHT years

Donald Trump has been on 12 golf trips in 9 weeks as President

Trump's golf trips are on weekends and usually include a work schedule as well. Even a President gets weekend off.

Even Obama?

Off topic... I was just wondering why you call yourself 'rightwinger'

 

[DarkFury]

IF and I say IF you work during the week you get the weekend off.
All that moron did for eight years is f#ck up. One project after another and those projects that did run were put together with sheet rock screws, duct tape and coat hangers.

And now that f#cker is getting RETIREMENT while we FIX the damn problems! Trump works! He was securing jobs BEFORE he was president. So grow the f#ck up and join the real world.

Obama left the US in a much better state than which he found it.

Trump is already fucking it up. Royally...

Another retard in denial. Worst economic recovery in over FOUR DECADES. HIGHEST debt level the country has EVER seen.

That's YOUR idea of better?

I don't understand you folks who believe Trump on the golf course is the problem when the real reason this country is going to hell in a handbasket is because Ivanka is on the slopes in Aspen.

Note the words "To a Trump owned property" meaning he goes HOME on weekends. Does the OP live at work? I sure as hell never have. Your story your narrative is NO STORY.

He went HOME for the weekend! Big deal.

Make all the excuses you want, you dumb fool, but he's soaking us for millions every single day. For nothing.

Besides the silly fake exec orders, all he has done is lie, steal and cheat.

Don't bother lying for him. Just once, educate yourself. Read the eo's. I dare you. READ them.

If he went home for the weekend, then why? He's got a perfectly good house in both DC and in NYC, both of which the taxpayer is paying extra money for in security service for both FL and NYC.

And..............every time he goes down to FL for the weekend, it costs the taxpayer 3 MILLION per trip. You bitched when Obama played golf and went back to HI where he is from, but you gloss it over for your Cheeto in Chief.

His homes would not only be safer then the White house they are NICER then the White house that was "Ghettoized" by Obama.

Typical repub rears its ugly head.

Total utter crap. He inherited a total clusterfuck of an economy from the Chimp. And he left the country in a hell of a lot better place than what he found it. Only a retard, neocon whackjob fuckwit sees it any other way. End of story.

 

[skews13]

Yup. After presiding over the meltdown of Republican Obamacare repeal efforts, Trump went golfing again.

Sunday's trip marked the president's 13th trip to a golf course since taking office. He has made a trip to a Trump-owned property eight weekends in a row since the inauguration.

That would be every weekend since the inauguration. Donald Trump has spent every weekend of his term visiting a Trump-branded property. Usually it's Mar-a-Lago; one weekend he visited the restaurant of his Washington hotel, the one he is supposed to have distanced himself from; this time it's at his Trump National Golf Club in Virginia.

Perhaps he is checking up on the staff, on boring weekend days when America does not need a president. Perhaps he is making the conscious decision to appear there frequently in order to boost the prestige and profit-margins of the properties that once sported the name of a great gilded twit, but now sport the name of a great gilded twit with nuclear weapons.

Perhaps he is after the much duller, lowbrow play of forcing his secret service agents and staffers to spend money at his own restaurants if they want to eat on weekends.

Or perhaps he is a vampire, and must sleep each weekend in a box of his home soil to sustain himself. We cannot say. We can only speculate.

What I want to know is, why does it cost 3 mil for the President to play a round of golf? The fault isn't with him. What is wrong with that price tag? He hopped the helo, yes? Or went in the car? So no Airforce One, no moving the whole kit and kaboodle of a staff and security to Mar a Lago. Will you please check your figures?
I still don't see what's wrong with him grabbing a round of golf on the weekend. Jeepers. You all want to chain him to a rock or something.

Man, if he is successful his opponents bitch.

If he is unsuccessful his opponents bitch.


I beginning to think his opponents just like to bitch.

 

[Onyx]

Didn't Trump say that he wasn't going to play golf because he was going to be too busy running the country?

His supporters say that he is negotiating, but with who? His club members?
