The amount of money spent by Trump in just over two years in office emphasizes the disconnect between statements offered during his campaign and his conduct while president.
President Donald Trump's golf outings have already cost taxpayers at least $102 million, according to an analysis from the HuffPost.
HuffPost said it"took a conservative approach to determining costs" of Trump's travel. It calculated Air Force One operating costs at $15,994 per-hour—the cost of fuel and maintenance—although Pentagon documents received by Judicial Watch showed that each flight-hour cost $180,118 in fiscal year 2016 and $206,337 in fiscal year 2015.
The amount of money spent by Trump on golf in just over two years in office emphasizes the disconnect between statements offered during his campaign and his conduct while president. On the campaign trail during the 2016 election, Trump criticized Obama for golfing.
Trump's own golfing outings have been a regular source of criticism since his term began. The president has golfed with conservative figures including Rush Limbaugh, Bret Baier and Sean Hannity since taking office. He has also hit the links with Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, Senator Rand Paul and Senator Lindsey Graham.
