Trump's Lavish Getaways: Taxpayers Footing the Bill for Ego-Driven Extravagance

(By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Senior National Correspondent) Despite holding properties in New York and a golf course in New Jersey, Donald Trump reportedly allocates nearly $800,000 each weekend for trips to his Florida private club, amassing about $26.1 million in taxpayer expenses since 2017. A 2019 Government Accountability Office report, recently updated by HuffPost, has reignited apprehensions surrounding Trump's utilization of public funds for personal indulgence. “Who truly faces sacrifice—ordinary citizens or Trump and Elon Musk?” questioned Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.) in a recent op-ed criticizing the extravagant travel expenses.
