Yeah, tax dollars spent on Trumps golfing, to the tune of about 200k to 300 k each time. And that money goes right to his resorts that he is golfing at. Hotel stays for his guests and entourage, all the security personnel and aids, at least three medical teams on standby, and this also includes any military presence to secure a safety zone around the perimeter of where he is golfing. But every time he goes golfing, tax payer money is spent in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Before he was elected in his last term he promised to never go golfing he would be too busy working. But he spent( are you ready?) nearly 600 hundred million dollars of tax payer money to keep himself and his family and friend living the posh life. During a visit to Canada Melania was given an entire floor of the most expensive hotel they could find for her. That cost around 300k. And she did not even stay one night there!
