Trump’s golf habit has already cost American taxpayers nearly $71 million since his return to the Oval Office in January, and is expected to total more than $300 million by the time his second term ends.
Trump’s Golf Habit Is Costing Taxpayers a Fortune
The president is setting records on the golf course—though not the kind he’s likely to brag about.

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

Trumps entrance to We Are the World, the song produced specifically to raise money to fight famine in Africa, is the biggest middle finger to anyone not in that ballroom — f’ing disgusting.

He cut USAID and burned 500 tons of food. The projected death toll from his cruel policies are unimaginable.
Trump entered the Mar-a-Lago ballroom for his Thanksgiving feast to the song “We Are the World,” a song used to raise money to help starving children.

Trump himself has cut aid to address global famine and has fought for the right to cut food stamps from American families.

GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Donald Trump returned to the presidency not only with renewed focus on political messaging but also with financial opportunity. Disclosures from mid-2025 revealed major revenue streams linked to golf resorts, brand licensing, digital currencies, and high-value fundraising dinners.

The debt has jumped from $36.4T to $39T, an increase of over 7 percent, since Trump took office just 10 months ago.
Had to fact-check myself: the US debt crossed $38T almost exactly a month ago, and now it is already being reported at $39T. That’s roughly a trillion dollars added in one month. So where exactly is all that tariff money taken from US consumers going?
