    I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, but it’s not excessive.

    That’s 21.7 weeks. If he went golfing on the weekend, then he still golfed less than 2 times per week.

      Est. cost to taxpayers for golf since returning to office: $51,800,000

      Perhaps you would not mind paying his golf bill then.

      Edit to add: this is roughly $340,789 per day of golfing. Or over 21 years worth of pretax income for someone making minimum wages… for 1 day of golf. Meaning at minimum wages it would take you 3,200+ years to pay for what trump has golfed so far this term. Provided you only put the entirety of your paycheck to that bill.

        Not for nothing, but the headline of the article is talking about time spent golfing, and so is neon_nova’s comment.

        The thing the President did isn’t the problem, or really even the frequency. The problem is the cost to the taxpayer.

        ‘20,000 American’s pay for President’s golf habit’ would be a better title.
