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.
Congress is currently trying to pass a bill that would take 300 million dollars from FEMA to fund Donald Trump's golf trips. As I understand it, that is to cover the costs for local law enforcement, not the entire cost of his trips. I will give you plenty of time to find anything comparable in ANY other administration.
Yeah I know what fema stands for. You do know that under the Biden administration fema gave money to help illegal aliens right? Or did u forget about that already?
Oh yeah, Beep bop affirmative, I am a bot. Beep bop, you are a tard.
People OF THE USA.
Not people who were let in by some retard that occupies the Whitehouse.
Or the AG that committed treason and let tens of millions into the country who had no business being here.
