https://www.dontmesswithtaxes.com/2019/ ... nting.htmlThe Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report early this year on the costs of Trump's travels just to his Mar-a-Lago golf resort. The four trips to South Florida in the initial months of Trump's presidency cost taxpayers $13.6 million, or some $3.4 million each, according to the GAO.
The most recent analysis comes from The Huffington Post, which reports that tab being paid by taxpayers to feed Trump's golf habit is $102 million and counting.

Good for him. He’s proving her doesn’t care about the salary. I wonder if he’ll donate his salary that he’ll get for life. Politicians always say that they donate money.
