Just over 14 months into Donald Trump’s second term, new reporting shows that he’s spent over $100 million already playing golf. The President and his Republican allies in Congress were all-too-eager to rip away Medicaid funding, Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax credits that made health care affordable, public school funding, food assistance, and more — all to enrich themselves and their powerful friends. Instead of bankrolling Trump’s handicap, working Americans could be getting so much more. Read more about what we could be spending $100 million on instead of paying Trump to golf:
Trump’s $100 Million Golf Bill Could:
- Buy over 21 million school lunches.
- Buy school supplies for 170,648 kids this school year.
- Fund the starting salaries of 2,149 new teachers for a year.
- Provide food assistance for 44,503 American households for a year.
- Fund the home heating and cooling cost assistance for 137,304 American households for a year
- Repair or replace around 75 dangerously dilapidated bridges across the U.S.
- Replace 21,276 lead pipes in the U.S. drinking water supply.
