Just wanted to hop and remind folks that Trump, the oldest nominated candidate in American history, spent about 20% of his presidency on a golf course to the tune of $142,000,000 pulled straight from our taxes.

Someone want to do the calculation for how much this cost the average American taxpayer?

There were ~164 million employed people. So at a cost of 142million was about $0.89 a person.

For comparison the national endowment for the arts had a 162.25 million dollar budget in 2020.

The DOD budget was 721.5 Billion.

Still, the average taxpayer spent $.23 per year for a supposed millionaire’s golf games.
