Trump's 247 Days Of Golf Costs Millions In Taxpayer Dollars | The Last Word | MSNBC

71 comments

  1. Trump promised he would be too busy to play golf. Yet, he’s been much too busy spending our money playing golf to have any time to do his job.

    1. All of you Trump haters go TDS to the max! It’s hilarious how Trump can go play golf for a LITTLE WHILE and then go back to work. You all make it seem like he plays golf for hours on end every day.

    2. @Bill Gross Perhaps Your Mind Still Is In The Earth’s Global Miserable Economy, But Trump’s Mind Is Thinking Beyond Earth. Actually, Trump Is Thinking In The Space Economy And The Benefits It Will Bring To America And The Whole World. Rather Than Being Ignorant About The Subject You Should Research More About Space.

      This Is Only A Preview.
      *Did You Know That NASA Has A New Space Program Known As Artemis?
      *Did You Know That In 2024 The First Moon Bound Spaceship With A Permanent Lunar Crew Will Be Launch?
      *Did You Know That In The Lunar Orbit A Space Station Base Known As The Gateway Will Be Established To Send Astronauts To Mars In The 2030’s?
      *Did You Know That NASA Will Send A SpaceShip (Mars’ Base Camp) To The Mars’ Orbit To Carry Out Experiments?
      *Did You Know That In 2020 NASA Plans To Send A Helicopter To Mars?
      *Did You Know That Right Now There Are Over 25 American Private Space Companies That Will Take Advantage Of The Space Economy?

      These Questions Are Only The Beginning Of The Space Economy. In Essence, By The 2020’s USA Companies Will Be In The Moon. By The 2030’s The Space Companies Will Be On Mars. That Is NASA And Mainly Space X. Soon Afterwards Space Hotels, Space Factories, Space Universities, And The Space Economy Will Be Booming. By 2050’s The Inner Solar System Will Be America’s And The World’s New Frontiers. Yes Indeed The New Wild Wild West Of Space.

    3. @Bill Gross If Insulting Is Your Way To Adapt To The Present Reality Perhaps You Should Move To Another Country. China Would Be A Great Destination For You. Certainly, Adapting To Xi Jinping Seems More Logical Than Adapting To The Trump’s New World Order.

      One Word Of Advise To You. Never Stay Behind As You Obviously Are.

      “ALWAYS LIVE IN PARADISE!”

    1. @Hull Style Produtions Change the World He’ll pay something because you believe in something? If only it worked that way! OJ is walking around free as a bird!

    1. @Phylum ya it matters when he charges great fees and its 2 his own personal business. His 400k a yr.he spends more then that in a Week. That is taken from us. And his Adult children shouldn’t have round the Clock SS protection. They also shouldn’t be in Government and making Deals from his Position! It’s Illegal & he’s gonna go 2 jail 4 it.Soon.

    2. @TheRiggz666 What happened to all the Millions that he has from Campaign Funds? He’s know 4 not paying Bills. In Private Business & while being The POS POTUS. He’s ROBBING US. U Too. FOOL!

    3. @Phylum Betting it’s not $2000 Carter Rental 4 SS. Besides there are plenty of Government Owned Courses 4 him 2 play on.That wouldn’t need as much Protection. Guess U do Get It?

    4. Bill Gross What I do get is, there are a lot of deals made on the golf course. The point is not how many times he plays golf, it’s WHO he plays golf with.

  2. “Obama golfs too much!” – republicans in 2008-2016
    “t’rump’s golfing is totally fine and the fact his resorts get paid in the process, we fully support.” – republicans now
    Y’all must think the rest of us are as dumb as those idiots in maga hats. 🤔😄😆🤣

  3. Balancing that budget……. while his SUPPORTERS live in poor States n soon to loose their healthcare at his MEGA rallies getting their pockets sucked dried

    1. @Yo-yos Tenbucks , u krazy , look at his pland ! Its against the poor not the rich, n against his own supporters. Evn God said care for the poor n widows for they will be with us always . John 3:16 , this guy dont evn love his own SUPPORTERS

    2. The Wolf 👄He’s already cut food programs and assistance to his uneducated. That’s just how uneducated and braindead they are!

    1. Trump Has Spent $115 Million On Golf Trips ― Or 287 Years Of Presidential Salary Trump often boasts of donating his White House pay, but taxpayers are shelling out much…

      How Trump Is Making Money in the White House, and Why Nobody …
      http://www.cheatsheet.com/money-career/trump-profiting...
      Trump’s businesses are benefiting from his family being in power — including his resorts like Mar-a-Lago and his D.C. hotel.
      Trump is using his position as president to promote his own business interests, which is the key issue here, and the problem that the framers intended to avoid. Examples include his numerous trips to his own resorts and properties (like those in New Jersey and Florida) while charging Secret Service and transportation costs to the taxpayers. He also continues to sell merchandise. Foreign dignitaries are herded to Trump’s D.C. hotel. And Trump wine is even being promoted from and by the White House. Even Ivanka Trump’s merchandise has been unethically promoted by the administration.

    2. @Yo-yos Tenbucks you forgot to mention “windmills cause cancer,” “we cannot watch TV the wind isn’t blowing,” “raking forests” will help end forest fires or maybe we should vacuum them. Still wearing your China manufactured Trump red hat?

  4. Why can’t Congress provide detailed financial information about the cost of this scam by the Liar-In-Chief? The scam is probably far greater in magnitude compared to Ivanka’s inaugeration scam.

  5. Donald Trump has spent a hundred 33.8 million dollars on golfing and he cries about Obama spending 80 million and in eight years really Trump is nothing but a royal fief he’s a con man and these douchebagTrump maggots don’t even think it’s wrong he deserves it he deserve to be thrown out of office then he could pay for all the b******* he f***** up

  6. Obama golfed 306 times in 8 years. Conald has golfed 247 times in 3 years. And they have the nerve to complain about Obama.

    1. Just an estimated to dste by year 8 Trump would have trumped OBAMA more than 3 times. Add the rest of his FAMILY and tripple THAT

    2. ‘Obama golfed 306 times in 8 years’…. even that is way too much. You put yourself up for election, you can relax and golf when out of office………

    3. @S Miller ‘so you’re commenting on Obama and not Trump. Very interesting. . ‘….not really. only in reply to this post… if you read a comment or 2 down on the main thread, i posted this…..
      ‘247 days golfing…. and at least 85 rallies, so thats another 85 days…. then on the days he is at the white house, over 60% of his time is spent with ‘excutive time’….. He should be removed for ‘dereliction of duty’. This is the most important position on the planet, and he isnt there for 1/3 of it, and the rest he is an empty uniform. Enough is enough. Rules are needed for the POTUS from now on. To start, they have to do at least a 60 hour week. No more than 6 weeks holiday for the year. You are there to do a very important job.. you can relax when you are out of office.’….

      Hows that for ya

    4. @Jojo Berkanhead not sure of the exact times, however I do know that he did not enrich HIMSELF at HIS RESORTS. Obama also released WHITEHOUSE FINANCIALS Trump WILL NOT. OBAMA did not have 6 adult children off on safaris and ski vacations and summer boating with an arsenal of SECURITY costing TAXPAYERS MONEY TO PAD HIS POCKETS for security to stay at his resorts

    1. Exactly. trump is the laziest President in history. Subtract his golfing days from his working days, and then realize he doesn’t start work early, his “Executive Time” (read TV time) comes first.

    1. @Bail 10k Googled it turns out they are both failures. But trump is a better failure by far more. This president is doing the same things he whined about. He is Obama 2.0.

    1. That’s an illusion. Remember his Doctor told us Trump is in “astonishingly excellent” health. So who are you going to believe, your own eyes or a Doctor who uses unusual grammar for a professional.

    2. Yeah, but the Michelin man is still smarter and healthier than the the corrupt, bloated orange buffoon.

  7. The swamp has become a ocean. Trumps golf trips only in 3 years cost 118 million dollars vs Obama 118 million dollars total traveling expense in 8 years, including golf. Keep swimming in the swamp as it gets deeper n deeper

  8. BUT HE ALWAYS BITCHED & COMPLAINED ABOUT PRESIDENT OBAMA HUH?! I GUESS HIS BASE OF DEPLORABLE’S WILL MAKE UP AN EXCUSE FOR THAT TOO LIKE THEY ALWAYS DO FOR THEIR 👑 king!!✌😂😂😂

    1. We have heard it before, “he is not playing golf, he is working while playing golf so it is effective working time”.

  9. The only golfer who manages to cheat twice at the same game: first he cheats at the sport, then he cheats by paying himself for spending time at his own golf clubs.

    1. MVVpro , he even cheated his weigh. He does not only lies but cheat too. What else good thing can he do? 🤨

    2. 👄trump says he weighs 235 lbs. and is 6’3″. He’s 300 lbs. (at least) and Bette Midler says he wear lifts!!! Everything about this 💩head is a lie!!!!
