Do you remember when President Obama took Michelle on that date to NY and then Republicans raised hell, then tried to have an 'investigation' in the misuse of taxpayer dollars?
https://www.usnews.com/news/obama/articles/2009/06/09/the-political-cost-of-the-obamas-date-night Republicans raked Obama over the coals for this ONE date, but Donald Trump has currently spent about 21% of his presidency on his own fucking golf courses costing the taxpayer approx $46 million dollars already. I repeat: on Trump banded courses that he directly gets paid for each secret service rented golf cart and each of his staff that has to get a Trump owned hotel room at market rate. Republicans are silent. They don't care. http://trumpgolfcount.com/ http://trumpgolfcount.com/#services Note that since being elected, Trump's gone to golf clubs thirty-eight times, with sixteen of those being confirmed golfing excursions. http://trumpgolfcount.com/displayoutings This does not even include this children's expenses travel the globe with Secret Service protection. (Saint Reagan declined SS protection for his grown children). http://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/03/06/518367429/these-days-business-travel-by-trumps-sons-is-costly-and-complicated "Trump reported $37.2 million in income in the past year from Mar-a-Lago, the private Florida resort where Trump hosted the president of China and ordered missile strikes against Syria. The club has doubled its membership fee in the past year." He doubled the fee at Mar-a-lago when he was elected. http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/16/news/trump-financial-disclosure-form/index.html There are currently so many conflicts of interest that the Government Ethics Director resigned. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/06/us/politics/walter-shaub-office-of-government-ethics-resign.html Currently tracking 492 reports of corruption: https://corrupt.af/ http://fortune.com/2017/04/11/donald-trump-barack-obama-travel-spending/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/03/17/how-much-is-donald-trumps-travel-and-protection-costing-anyway/?utm_term=.0c2b48331840 "On days when first lady Melania Trump and the couple's son, Barron, are the only ones in the city, security going forward will cost between $127,000 and $145,000 per day, less than when the president is in residence, O'Neill said." http://fortune.com/2017/02/22/trump-tower-security-costs-taxpayer/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/07/donald-trump-conflicts-of-interests/508382/ Trump’s Interests vs. America’s, Republican Fundraisers Edition Official GOP groups have paid the president’s company nearly $300,000 since the election to host events at his properties. Yet, let's not forget Obama's golfing excursions. http://www.obamagolfcounter.com/ In his eight years, Obama spent three-hundred and six days golfing. However, this was over his eight years. Let's hope Trump doesn't rack up more outings in his first year than Obama did in eight, yeah? ... Copied to Clipboard!

https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2017/04/28/which-us-president-played-the-most-golf-in-office-104772/ There has been a lot of talk over the last eight-plus years about U.S. Presidents and how often they play golf while living in the White House.
