Donald Trump Moans About Russian Election Investigation Costs Which Are Less Than His Golf Trips

Donald Trump is very concerned about the cost of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russian investigation even though his golf trips cost more
Donald Trump

Donald Trump has suddenly become very concerned about the cost and expense of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in our elections here in the U.S.

The Trumpster took to Twitter today to moan yet again calling the investigation a “very expensive Witch Hunt Hoax.”

It was reported by several news outlets yesterday that Mueller’s efforts have thus far cost the government about $16.7 million.

Citing the federal government’s $4.1 trillion budget for fiscal 2018, the Washington Post puts these numbers in perspective like this: spending $16.7 million of $4.1 trillion is like making $50,000 a year and spending 20 cents.

However…

The conservative group Judicial Watch told the Associated Press that each of Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago cost about $1 million, including only Air Force One travel and Secret Service protection.

Trump has been to Mar-a-Lago 17 times, for a grand total of $17 million in flight and protection costs.

Wait.

That’s, like, more than has been spent on Mueller’s investigation into protecting American elections from Russian interference!

And that doesn’t include his trips to Just to his club in Bedminster, N.J., costs more than $40,000 in travel time (9 times he’s been there). Or to his golf club in Sterling, Virginia – 31 visits there.

Now, which is more important – protecting our democratic processes or Trump getting on his own golf courses so he can cheat at golf again?

If Trump is sooooo concerned about expenses, how about he cut back on his illegitimate golf games?

Donald Trump Spends His 111th Day On Golf Course Since Taking Office

Donald Trump is spending his Sunday at his Virginia golf property.

This marks his 111 day on a golf course since taking the oath of office.

Note – I wouldn’t care about how much a this president plays golf if it weren’t for the hypocrisy this demonstrates after the Trumpster criticized President Obama continually for hitting the links during his administration.

The Donald also promised his followers during the campaign he’d never leave the White House to play golf because there would be so much to do.

So much for that…

Donald Trump Spends His 100th Day At A Trump Golf Property

Well, we certainly can’t let this auspicious occasion go unnoticed.

President Trump is at his Florida golf club this morning, marking his 100th day at a Trump golf property since taking office.

In just over a year, 100 rounds of golf. Wow.

The funny thing is, though, Trump spent years taunting President Obama for daring to play a round of golf.

Since taking office, Trump’s time on the golf course has well-eclipsed Obama’s tee time.

Donald Trump Observes MLK Day

As America observes Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an occasion Donald Trump says should be observed by doing acts of community service, the Trumpster arrived at his golf course for the third day in a row.

This is his 94th day as president at one of his golf courses.

By the way, “Donald Trump’s racism” is currently trending on Twitter. This is not normal.

White House: Trump’s Round Of Golf Are “Relationship Building” Time To Further His Agenda

Even though he’s played more golf in his first year than any other president, it’s the White House spin that Donald Trump’s time on the golf course has been valuable for “relationship building.”

Reporter: “Can you tell me the biggest single thing the president has accomplished for the American people during his time on the golf course?”

Sarah Sanders: “Developing deeper and better relationships with members of Congress”

I wonder how long it took the geniuses in the press office to think that up?

According to White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, it’s really only the press that has an issue with his 91 golf trips.

When asked about the transparency issue of non-confirmation of rounds of golf, Sanders pivoted back to the predictable claim that Trump enjoyed one of the “most successful first years in office” of any president.

I’m guessing that’s kinda like “passing the most legislation” since Truman lie?

Watch below.

Donald “Back To Work” Trump Spends 7th Consecutive Day Playing Golf

Just before 9am this morning, Donald Trump arrived at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, for his 7th consecutive day playing golf.

This marks his 91st day at a golf course since taking offuce.

You may recall Trump tweeted to the world Christmas night he would be getting “back to work” the next morning.

Before becoming president, Trump promised his followers there would be “no time” for golf if he won the election. In fact, he said he’d practically never leave the White House.

And he wonders why folks call him a liar…? Let’s go to the video tape.

Donald “Back To Work” Trump Golfs For 4th Day In A Row

I couldn’t possibly report this news better than the folks at Mediaite:

After President Donald Trump successfully saved Christmas, he triumphantly tweeted that he would be getting back to work the very next day, pulling up his bootstraps to make America great again “faster than anyone anticipated.”

Imagine everyone’s surprise when he showed up at the golf course the very next day to play a “quick” round. Now, imagine everyone’s surprise when he did this again the very next day, and, well, even the day after that.

Surely, the world thought, he could not golf for a fourth day in a row. Not even the most retired dads in the most retired parts of Florida can muster up four days in a row. That’s madness!

You know, the only reason I give a shit about the Trumpster golfing is he took President Obama to task so often for playing himself. In fact, he’s played more than 50% the amount of golf Obama did in his first year.

Here’s just one example:

The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

Trump Tweets: I’ll Play Golf (Quickly) Before Getting To Work Today

Donald Trump

It looks like Donald Trump is getting a bit defensive about the inordinate amount of golf he plays.

In an early morning tweet today, the Donald wrote,”After Turkey call I will be heading over to Trump National Golf Club, Jupiter, to play golf (quickly) with Tiger Woods and Dustin Johnson. Then back to Mar-a-Lago for talks on bringing even more jobs and companies back to the USA!”

Today is the third day in row that Trump has spent on the golf course and his 101st at a Trump property since taking office.

You’ll note that Trump also gets a mention in for his golf club there.

As I’ve said many times before, I have no problem with a president playing golf.

But Trump was extremely critical of Barack Obama for playing golf during his administration. He also made a point to say there would “be no time for golf” during his time in the White House as he would be so busy fixing the country.

All of that makes him fair game to note his current golf activities.

Here’s just a handful of examples of Trump’s critical golf tweets:
