From the article:
Donald Trump and his supporters like to brag about the fact that he donates his presidential salary, claiming it saves the government money and proves what a great guy he is.
But as PoliticusUSAs Jason Easley noted last week, Trumps golf trips during his presidency have (so far) cost American taxpayers nearly 300 years of presidential salary.
So not only is the president a drain on taxpayers, but as MSNBCs Chris Hayes pointed out on Monday, Trump is also pocketing at least a portion of the money it costs the country to fund his endless golf outings.
Some portion of that money is going back into Donald Trumps pocket because its always at his properties and we do not know the simple matter of how much, the MSNBC host said.

My view about Trump is simple. If his mouth is open, he is either eating, or lying.

Again, in my view, the MAGA crowd is composed of racists, idiots, rich thieves, and liars.

Can anyone imagine if a Democrat did this?
And whatever happened to the Tea Party and their constant crying about government waste?

Trump started his Presidency by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

And an uncountable number before that.
