The president spent $115,000 of taxpayer money today on jet fuel and amortized maintenance costs so he and his adults sons could fly from Camp David to his for-profit golf course in Northern Virginia and back.
It also forced Marine helicopter crews to spend the day away from their families over Thanksgiving weekend.
Sure, $115,000 is not much compared to the $3.4 million it costs taxpayers for each Mar-a-Lago golfing vacation (there have been 30 of those to date), but it's not nothing.
GOLF UPDATE -- 28 NOV 2020:

Trump was back at his golf course in Virginia.

He has now spent 288 days on a golf course he owns in his 1,409 days in office.

It was his 106th day at Sterling.

Taxpayer-paid golf tab rises to $148.1 million.

Meanwhile, Bannon has Pizzagate guy and Giuliani helping explain how Trump won a huge victory on "game day" is now "closing" on that victory.

Yes, it's every bit as insane as you would expect.
I mean, has @JackPosobiec looked for ballots in the basement at Comet Ping Pong?

If not, why not??
You people should be venmoing or substacking or whatever money to me for watching this idiocy so you don't have to.

Okay, Biden got 80 million votes. Fine.

Does he have anyone painting stuff like THIS about him??
This truly is something.

Does anyone know which human person did this? And how much time was involved? And what the significance of the bluebird is? Or the alien spaceship?
I mean, it sort of puts the messianic Trump artist guy to shame.

NEW -- A study by Stanford University researchers concluded that Trump rallies likely caused 30,000 new coronavirus cases and 700 additional deaths.

But Trump will do four dozen anyway, in the final weeks. Even though they are hurting him with voters.

By wide margins, voters think these rallies are a terrible idea during a global pandemic.

58 % of likely voters nationally disapproved of Trump’s decision to hold large rallies, while only 34 % approved, according to a Suffolk University/USA Today poll conducted last week.
The Dem super PAC Priorities USA found similar results in the 6 states most likely to swing the election. In PA, where Trump staged four rallies Saturday, 58 percent said Trump’s rallies made them think less favorably of Trump, while only 22 percent more favorably.

A BRIEF DISSERTION ON TRUMP’S CORRUPTION:

One place where journalism clearly has failed us during the past four years is in describing Trump’s personal corruption. We’re trained to be cautious with pejorative words, so we didn’t want to use it. Trump took advantage of that.
When a lobbyist or CEO who wants something from the federal government books a hotel room or has a meal or buys a drink at Trump Hotel in DC, knowing full well that some of that money is going to wind up in Trump’s pocket, THAT IS CORRUPTION.
When Trump continues to accept money from lobbyists and CEOs who want something from the federal government, THAT IS CORRUPTION.

Trump is now repeating stuff from a Russian disinformation operation right off the teleprompter.

Does Putin have to report this as an in-kind contribution?
Marion County, Florida, audience learning all about Section 230.

Something, something, Big Tech...
That is the great irony, here.

With the 230 civil liability protection, the FIRST account to be deleted from Twitter would likely be Donald Trump's. He libels people like crazy in his tweets, and Twitter would suddenly become the deep-pocket defendant.

Remember when Trump kept attacking Obama for playing too much golf?

And when he promised this?

“I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off."
Well. Obviously that did not happen.

Trump has played on 2½ times as many days as Obama did through the same point in his first term, and Trump’s golf outings have cost in total more than four times as much as Obama’s.
