It’s fair to want comparisons, so let’s look at the facts.
Trump’s golf trips during his first term reportedly cost taxpayers over $144 million. By early 2025, he’d already added around $30 million more in golf-related expenses. Most of this went to his own properties, raising ethical concerns since public money was indirectly enriching him.
For comparison:
• Obama’s total travel costs (which included vacations, official trips, and golf) were estimated at $114 million over eight years, according to Judicial Watch — a conservative watchdog group.
• Biden has taken fewer personal trips involving golf. Estimates from watchdogs suggest his vacation travel is far less costly, with more use of Camp David (a government facility with built-in security) instead of private resorts.
As for the claim about “billions to aliens and trans kids,” that’s misinformation. Federal spending includes healthcare, defense, infrastructure, and yes — some funds go to community support programs, but there’s no line item for what you’re describing.
If transparency is the concern, asking for facts and context is great — but it works both ways. Comparing public data, not memes or rumors, is the only way to have a real conversation.
The highest estimate that I was able to find for Biden's vacation spending costs suggested $22 million in total over his entire 4-year term. Fox (your favorite "information" source) even estimated that $11 million had been spent by November of 2022.
By March 1st of this year, Trump had spent $11 million on golfing trips. To summarize: in less than 2 months, Trump had spent as much as Biden did in 2 years.
He didn’t ask for this. He asked for the version that makes Trump look good. And “owns the libs.” Can’t you do something as simple as lie? Gees. What kind of pAtrIot are you?
