On Saturday, Donald Trump played golf for the 13th day of his 50 days in office. It was his 10th day playing at his West Palm Beach golf course. Because he insists on flying down to Florida (there must not be any golf courses near Washington DC), American taxpayers have been billed more than $18 million for the Donald’s golf excursions. At this rate, he will surpass the $151.5 million he spent golfing in his first term. Waste and fraud…Where the hell is DOGE???? 
From Huffpost:
According to a 2019 Government Accountability Office report examining the first four trips Trump took to Mar-a-Lago during his first administration, each one costs $3,383,250 — a sum based on 2017 dollars that is likely higher now.
Trump and his entourage fly down on Air Force One while the military brings down the vehicles for his motorcade on C-17 transports.
Because Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, straddles the width of the barrier island, police boats with machine guns mounted on the bows patrol the Intracoastal while a Coast Guard vessel is stationed off the beach in the Atlantic.
Additional costs include law enforcement and explosive-sniffing dogs.
Estimates from his first term in office put the cost of a single trip to Mar-a-Lago at about $3.3 million. Trump loves to pretend that he works 24/7 on behalf of his followers. On his first trip outside Washington after retaking office he was asked by reporters if he would be golfing that trip. “No – I don’t think so. I’m busy.” Two days later, a Fox News reporter posted photos of him playing golf at his Doral course.
