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.

This article should be the response to Trump's demands to be reimbursed for his shitty campaign.

"Fuck you, Donny. Reimburse the taxpayers for all the grift and bullshit you pulled to waste $142M of taxpayer money so you could golf."

Wonder how many times he golfed after Biden became President. I pretty much guarantee it's less because he'd be golfing on his own dime at that point.

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.
