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 are so many of us it’s spread pretty decently so probably just dollars if that much. But imagine what 142mill could have done for, say, a few key pieces of rural infrastructure. Or schools. Or whatever you want. That’s not a small amount of money when you’re talking smaller populations with poor access to resources.
don’t forget the secret service leasing an entire floor of trump tower–money going directly into trump’s greasy pocket
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.
