The American public spent at least $43 million in order to support President Donald Trump‘s considerable golf habit in 2017.


Reports on presidential golf expenses are not itemized under official U.S. government statistics or written into the outlays for the U.S. governmental financial year. Rather, the $43 million total is a low-end estimate provided by TrumpGolfCount.com. (A similar tracker took note of President Barack Obama‘s similarly publicized proclivity for the track.)

Report: The American Public Spent $43 Million Last Year So Trump Could Play Golf


He's too busy playing golf to do any work......the exact opposite of what he said while campaigning!

You wish for a President to spend 1 billion of taxpayers’ money on golf? That sounds ridiculous no matter who is president. Hyperbole is silly, dontcha think?

They don't care. They would watch things burn to the ground so long as some "libruls" were upset, juvenile and pathetic. Yet they worry about other people ruining this country.

Trump’s golf count is mostly based on confirmed news reports of presidential golf outings published by The Washington Post. Additional sources include White House Public Press Pool postings about golf and a handful of additional stories regarding Trump’s frequent golf forays issued by various media. The pool report statistics are culled from press pool RSS feeds mentioning “any of the following words or phrases: vacation, palm beach, golf, golfing, golfed, Trump International, Trump National, Bedminster, [and/or] Sterling.”



In sum, President Trump made a confirmed 88 visits to various golf courses in 2017. Some caution, however, as a confirmed visit to a golf club doesn’t necessarily equate to a confirmed game of golf. That list is available in full here....(see article for link)

And yet Dems have been doing nothing but freaking out about what he HAS been doing the past year.

They cared when Obama was golfing. Just another illustration of the insanity required to be a believer in the two party system.

I thought Libs wanted him to stay out of DC.

I was happy when Obama golfed. Less damage he could do.

Wish we'd known how you feel about presidents spending a billion dollars to play golf. We could have encouraged President Obama to play more. Damn.

Not even a little surprised. Elected officials seem to feel the world is owed to them.
