“I Love Using Other People’s Money”
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Using an old term, few of you likely remember, Trump is a “cheapskate.”
According to those around him, he has never left a tip for any service he
received. We know he stole money from his own charity. The truth is, he has
never done anything for another person unless it was mostly for his own
benefit.
The title of this article comes directly from the orange
buffoon/con man. He told his supporters during the 2016 campaign that he is a
user, an abuser, and a thief.
Trump’s biggest thefts came while he was pretending to by
your president between 2017 and 2021 and from January 20, 2025 until today.
For four years Trump’s use of taxpayer funds for his
personal pleasure averaged more than six million dollars each month. He made
trips to his own golf courses at least 285 times. Nearly every weekend he was
partying at Mar-a-Lago. He held his infamous hate rallies throughout his
illegitimate presidency, averaging about two each month. For each of these
excursions, the cost to taxpayers for the use of Air Force One was more than
270 thousand dollars each hour. Each trip to and from Mar-a-Lago cost more than
$600,000.
Imagine that his golf excursions were of similar distance to
and from Mar-a-Lago. The cost of using Air Force One would have been $171,000,000.
None of these numbers include other costs including use of
large venues, and room and board for Secret Service members. When he stayed at
Mar-a-Lago, Trump personal profits tens-of-thousands of dollars for costs
related to the Secret Service and other members of his Administration.
Trump’s recent trip to Scotland, where he finalized the purchase
of another golf course, cost more than $10,000,000. Your con man has made trips to play golf 41 times in just six months.
We cannot afford another four years of Donald Trump.
Besides, he is violating the Constitution: specifically the
Emoluments Clause. But I’m not sure anybody but me cares.
Lock him up.
