Maxine Waters hits Trump over taxpayer cost of golf outings

Source: The Hill

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) knocked President Trump on Monday for the cost she said his golf trips carry for U.S. taxpayers.

Waters said that Trump criticized former President Obama for golfing, but that Trump's trips to the course have cost millions.

“Remember Trump’s criticism of Obama golfing? The cost of Trump’s golfing is now $108M,” Waters tweeted, though she did not cite a report behind the dollar figure.

Huffpost reported Friday that Trump’s golf outings during his tenure in the White House have cost taxpayers more than $108 million, largely due to travel and security costs.

Golf carts are a major expense, with the agency paying out at least $295,000 (other estimates place the number even higher). The Secret Service did not respond to request for comment.

This hypocritical, deceitful jackass has shamed our country in every way imaginable. A true national disgrace. One of our darkest periods in American history.
