Imagine golfing so much the receipts start looking like a defense budget that’s not a hobby, that’s a lifestyle subsidy.

I mean, the flying golf balls will distract long range nuclear missiles systems from terrorists of Iran, Iraq, Irad and Irak. Missiles that are laced with woke dust that will turn us gay and recite pronouns.
So looking at it biggingly intelligently, golf is the best approach to national defense. And the strategic positioning of Trump golf resorts makes playing golf in those courses the most effective in defending our nation.

I have to admit that $100 million sounds kind of insane. I know nothing about golf, but that's a lot of money, and time as well.

Another cash grab. He only golfs at his courses. They raise the prices for his entire entourage when he’s there. He’s paying himself with your money to do nothing.

Of course when he started doing this his son was saying he owns the place so wouldn't charge them, while the complete opposite happens - they put the prices up.

He actually books the entire hotel out, rooms stay empty, taxpayers pay for it, he collects.
I would be a major golfer too if I could do this

During his first term, he spent a total of $300M taxpayer dollars golfing at his own courses.
He’s currently on pace to beat that.

No Trump os a borderline professional Golfer, maybe better than most, actually he is the best ever the PGA said so.
Real story, he once arrived late to a tournament at his golf course and started Day 2 of the event in 1st place because "the other week I shot a under 12 game so just put that up".

The reason his costs so much is because he RAISED COST.. Secret Service has to stay there as well so, they have to purchase the membership and EVERYTHING ELSE because this is HIS BUSINESS.
His first term he raised membership from $100k a year to $220k and yes, his SS had to pay PER PERSON DETAIL. This time, no guardrails, $550k, $60k a weekend PER ROOM. He does NOT absorb the cost so when he is there, they have to, well, WE TAX PAYERS, also have to pay for their maid service, food cost, wiring a network into but then, they also need to disconnect it each freaking time which is $98k a month. They also have to rent the golf carts. First term he charged $60k a weekend, this term it is, $115k a weekend because he needs more agents after assassination attempts. ALL, ALL of this money goes to HIS POCKETS!!
Merrick Garland was such a weak ass POS because if he charged and tried him, we wouldn't be here! We NOW KNOW HE HAD the report as to why Trump kept those Classified documents, IT WAS TO SALE FOR FINANCIAL GAIN!! GARLAND KNEW THEN!!

I know nothing about golf too, but as far as I know this is because the president has to fly using the AF1 and as you know when the AF1 is flying so are other big planes carrying thing and vehicles needed.
then you have to allocate money for the secret service, staying, food.
take into consideration Obama, its said Obama spent somewhere between 80 and 100 millions during his 8 years, so 8 to 12.5 millions /year, compared to Trump who has spent the same amount in just one year.
so, why is Trump spending so much money? because he charges the secret service way too much money, examples... the secret service wanted to save money by camping outside mar a lago, it was forbidden, then they rent nearby, it was forbidden and then they had to pay to stay at mar a lago.
other presidents saved money by playing golf @ gov owned properties like Camp David while President Trump is hell bent on playing on his own property and charging the secret service for it.
by the end of his term he will spend something like 300m to 400m dollars + the money he spent during his first term 150m, so... he will cost something like half a billion dollars.

It’s just like his first term. He funnels tax payer money through his resort and also inflates prices for everything he does to steal even more

Newsom doesn't get to finger point about money. Everything from the Palisades burning down with still no permits to rebuild, to the homeless encampments and child care fraud the state uses for scamming the government, and a 100 billion dollar light rail transit system yet to break ground, puts Newsom at the top as the costliest waste of money ever.

what is trump giving up?

Hey! Back in your box and be quiet. The president is giving up having to risk his life driving in a bombproof car to balls in DC by building his own ballroom in the White House. He has also given up using the state owned weekend retreat of Camp David so he can display government support for private business by fleecing the state for the bills he charges to house his SecretService security detail that are there to protect him. Did I read that right?
Trump will hit $1 billion in golf fees, and that will be going directly into Pedo La Go

Newsom literally said in an interview the other day that he "reveres" Israel. Besides just being an incredibly bizarre thing to say about any country, the fact that he would say that about Israel after the last two and a half f****** years means he is completely inviable and unelectable.

Trump doesn’t care though, as long as he is grifting and making money 💰 is ALL he cares about, that and not being put in jail. He has to make money to pay the bribes to keep him from jail. Trump is ruining the lives of the average US citizen with his actions and does not care at all.

Same guy who use to call out Obama for taking vacation or golfing.
$100 million and every week out there and commited to the swing no matter what war is being started or stopped while having everyone stay at his properties or invest in his businesses if you want to stay in friend zone with the USA.
He will still win a third term if someone capable and honest does not come around that can go against inflation and counter our support and tax dollars for Israel and AIPAC lobby.

Who gives a shit, I would prefer Trump spend the rest of his presidency playing golf every single day with taxpayer-funded solid gold golf balls if it kept him out of the White House and away from the big button that starts wars. If Trump is bombing innocent people in Iran at this very moment and your big complaint is about his time spent golfing it doesn’t reflect well on you either!!

I get it, but at some point, the sun goes down, and he's still going to be pushing buttons. When one considers 'sundowning', it may be better if he's making decision during the day rather than at night.
Golfing all day every day won't stop him from still ruining everything at night.

I mean yes, it is enriching yourself as it forces Secret Service to pay rent at your own club. He did this last term and enriched himself greatly doing it. Obvious conflict of interest and why most presidents put their assets into a blind trust so there are at least some barriers. Trump is the only POTUS to not.
