While campaigning to be elected US President last year, Donald Trump said a lot of things that signify the kind of person he is: a lying hypocrite. Among the many promises he made preceding his win was that he would work his “a** off” if voted to power as the United States President. However, as we all know, that hasn’t really been the case for the last couple of months. If anything, he has been sitting his a** down and taking one wrong decision after another.
Since the beginning of this year, Donald Trump has been proving time and again why sensible people hate him. Despite claiming to make “America Great Again”, Trump has been repeatedly doing things that don’t make the country great, and he is doing that at the cost of the American people.
When Trump is not passing xenophobic, racist, transphobic, and sexist comments, he is exploiting taxpayer dollars for his personal merriment. A recent HuffPost article highlights that Donald Trump has spent over $ 70 million playing golf, and all of that money came from the pockets of the American people. The article also states that if Trump were to continue playing the sport at the current rate, the projected amount he would have spent by the end of his term would be over $300 million, which is an insanely staggering amount for a person who, during campaigning, accused former presidents of spending too much time at golf courses.
Having said that, Trump critics such as Rick Wilson believe that the revelation of his spending taxpayer money on golf will have little to no effect on his supporters. He says:
“I really wish I could tell you that it would make anyone in America change their mind about him, but the corruption is so baked in, so endemic, and so ludicrous that it feels like the collective reaction will be a shrug. It’s one more example of Trump defining the presidency down. Way, way down.”
