Trump has spent almost a third of his presidency at his own properties, new report shows

During his recent five-day trip to Scotland, Donald Trump spent most of the time on his own golf courses and hotels. This appears to be par for the course for the president, who has spent almost a third of his second presidency so far at properties that he owns, according to new analysis by Forbes.

Out of his first 191 days back in office, 75 of them have been spent at his own businesses at various locations including Florida, New Jersey, Virginia, Nevada, and now Scotland.

Of these, over half (45 days) have been spent playing golf, according to online tracker Did Trump Golf Today? – which accounts for about 23 percent of his second term so far. The president visited his courses 16 out of the first 17 weekends back as Commander-in-Chief.

According to Forbes, in January, days after retaking the Oval Office, Trump went to Las Vegas to give a speech on his no-tax-on-tips pledge – while staying at his Trump International Hotel.

Just the same, Congressional Magats don't write their own Bills. Half of them don't know everything that's in the Big Ugly Death Bill.

Facts First: Trump has spent much more time playing golf than Obama did through this point of the term – after repeatedly attacking Obama’s golfing and claiming he would not play if he got elected himself. Just Trump’s airplane trips to his Mar-a-Lago Club and residence in Florida, from which he has often taken a motorcade ride to a nearby golf course he owns, have required far more air travel than Obama’s once-a-year Hawaii vacations did through this point in the term.

It was so obvious in 2016 and now you must be brain dead to not see it. I bet he’s made at least 40 billion in his offshore accounts by now.

It’s certain to be in the multiples of millions at this point.

$600,000 in just golf carts and lavatory facility rentals at Bedminster in New Jersey alone!
