Fore! Trump spent nearly a quarter of 2025 at his golf clubs

10h


President Donald Trump has spent nearly a quarter of his second term at a golf club, according to a tracking website. The 79-year-old has visited golf clubs at least 79 times since taking office on January 20, 2025, or about 22.8 percent of the presidency, according to DidTrumpGolfToday.com.

The tracker, which compiles data based on Trump’s public schedule, does not note how many of those days the president actually hit the courses. It also does not include data from December 2025.

Since returning to office, Trump’s golf club visits have cost taxpayers an estimated $110,600,000, according to the website.

The tracker based that calculation on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report on the cost of four golf trips during Trump’s first presidency. Trump’s busiest month at the golf club was August, when he spent every weekend at his golf clubs, totaling 10 days. The president also spent nine days at the golf club in both March and November, according to the tracker.

How Tomi Lahren doesn't fall down more is another discussion, but it is almost amusing how deep the well of hypocrisy is over there on the other side. It has to be getting hot down there.

It is comical how much conservatives now accept the golfing and the grift and the obvious corruption and the wasting of taxpayer dollars by their orange idol.

He could probably even wear a tan suit and put Dijon mustard on a hamburger.

Over his 8 years in office and costing Taxpayers $96 million total. That's an average of $12 million a year!

Republicans today! "Oh we are fine if Donald Trump has cost the American taxpayers $110 million for 2025! The man needs his golf!"

FUCKING HYPOCRITES the lot of them.
