It’s a fact.
Trump has played golf six out of seven weekends since he returned to the White House.
So it was a shock to hear Lara Trump declare Sunday on Fox & Friends Weekend that her father-in-law doesn’t take any days off while photos popped up of him hitting the green at Mar-a-Largo.
Lara Trump said: “We all take notes from President Trump, and you and I both know, he does not take any days off, so nobody takes any days off.”
And the cost of the trips to Florida have risen. According to an analysis this is his 10th trip to the club, adjacent to Palm Beach International Airport, since his January 20 inauguration.
And let’s not forget the three times he golfed at Trump Doral, just east of Miami International Airport.
Since Trump and his entourage fly down on Air Force One while the military transports his motorcade vehicles using C-17 planes, this amounts to millions of dollars paid for by—you guessed it—the taxpayers.
So far, the president’s insistence on spending his weekends golfing in Florida has cost American taxpayers more than $18 million.
Trump is on track to surpass his game time during his first term when he golfed over 289 times and spent over $150 million on travel and security.
