Mini-Post: Savings Just Went Out The Window

You seen them both, Musk and Trup touting their savings from the Oval Office on how much they are saving with their layoffs of park rangers, air traffic controls, FEMA, and other federal emergency personnel. But what they are not saying is the $14 million dollars spent on golfing trips and trips to Mar-a-Lago.

Trump's Million Dollar Lavish Golf Trips In 4 Weekends Under Fire Amid Budget Cuts, Taxpayer Concerns

US President Donald Trump faces criticism for spending USD 10.7 mn on golf trips in 4 weekends since retaking office, amid budget cuts and taxpayer concerns.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly come under fire for spending a staggering USD 10.7 million of taxpayer money on golf trips since retaking office last month. It has been claimed in the revelation that Trump's golf trips have cost American taxpayers millions in just four weekends since taking office. The US President's extravagant expenses have raised the eyebrows of critics, especially given Trump's campaign promises to save average Americans money and his recent moves to cut funds in various heads across the world.

The critics have pointed out the expenses as hypocrisy of Trump's actions. Jordan Libowitz of the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington criticised Trump's actions, saying, "It's clear that when the Trump administration considers the definition of corruption and wasteful spending, it doesn't count spending that ends up in the president's pockets."

The rich are different from us.

As for his Mar-a-Lago trips Penn Live writes...

The site said it calculated the cost based off of a 2019 report from the Government Accountability Office that broke down the cost of Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago. That report, HuffPost said, said it cost taxpayers $3,383,250 for each trip.

Just think how many federal employees jobs that were cut that would pay for?
