Trump Spending $10 Million Of Taxpayer Money To Personally Inspect His Two Golf Properties and Participate in Ribbon Cutting Event for Grand Opening of His Second 18 Hole Course at Aberdeen.​


WASHINGTON – American taxpayers will shell out at least $10 million over the next several days so President Donald Trump can participate in a marketing photo opportunity at his golf resort in Aberdeen, Scotland — the profits from which will flow directly into his own pocket.


Trump is planning to visit his golf resorts in both Aberdeen on the east coast and Turnberry on the west. His appearance in Aberdeen coincides with the grand opening of a second 18-hole course there, which Trump has been personally publicizing in recent years.

The trip is unrelated to a planned state visit to the United Kingdom in September, making it by far the most expensive golf vacation to date in either of his terms. It will also increase the total golf tab in his second term to at least $52 million. He spent $152 million in taxpayer money playing golf at his own resorts in his first term.

“He’s using the presidency to market his golf courses,” said Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer in George W. Bush’s second-term White House. “At the taxpayer’s expense, he’s promoting himself.”

“We’ve reached a point where the Oval Office is an extension of the Trump Organization, and American taxpayers are footing the bill,” added Jordan Libowitz with the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “A president should not be spending time trying to make money in a foreign country while in office, but if they do, at the very least they could pick up the tab for their business trips.”

Trump’s White House officials would not respond to numerous HuffPost queries on the matter, including specifically whether Trump planned to reimburse the U.S. Treasury. In public statements, both Trump and his aides have only spoken about a planned meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

A HuffPost analysis of the expenses required by a presidential foreign trip produced a conservative estimate of $9.7 million for the five-day jaunt. It is based on the price tags of the various components — the hourly operating cost of Air Force One; the need to ferry Marine One helicopters and motorcade vehicles across the Atlantic aboard C-17 transports; Secret Service overtime expenses, etc. — as laid out in a General Accounting Office report about Trump’s trips to his Palm Beach, Florida, country club in 2017.

Ive got a bad feeling about this.

We’ve seen this movie. Maxwell will say Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew and a couple of wealthy guys. She’ll disassociate Trump.

He will claim “complete & total exoneration.” Nobody will have ever been exonerated like him.

He will point to all of this as a reason why the Ds never released the DOJ files.

Magastanis will fully accept what he says & Maxwell will get pardoned.

Last week I would have said there is no way that would happen.

Now it seems entirely plausible to me.

I wonder if the majority of them will believe it or if they will realize it just gives them a convenient excuse?

Also, kinda getting tired of karma not catching up with Trump.
