Presidential update

 

 

 

 

Len Nelson -Today, on his 69th day in office, convicted felon Donald Trump played golf at the course he owns in West Palm Beach, Florida. Since his inauguration on January 20th, it’s his 14th day of golf at that particular property and the 18th time he has played at one of his golf courses

It means he has played golf on more than a fourth of the days since he was sworn in.

Based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report which detailed the cost to taxpayers for moving his motorcade equipment and security personnel around as well as the immense cost of flying Air Force 1 for each of Trump’s first term golf trips, the total cost to date for Trump’s second-term golf outings is now up to $26,127,531. 

 

I’ll remind you that billionaire authoritarian oligarch Elon Musk, whom Trump appointed to ferret out “waste and fraud” in government, hasn’t said a word about it. He’s apparently too busy firing essential federal workers and veterans and destroying government services which Americans depend on to notice that the president’s devotion to his hobby instead of his nation has cost taxpayers more than $26 million in little more than two months.

 

Yet Musk, whose companies rake in an estimated $8 million per day from government contracts, keeps complaining about how other Americans with government contracts and those who receive government benefits are the “parasitic class.”
