Lawmaker Condemns Trump’s $30M Golf Trip Tab: Taxpayer Waste?
Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized President Trump’s frequent golf trips to Florida, costing taxpayers an estimated $26 million by March 30th, with his latest trip exceeding $4.2 million. This spending, she argued, contradicts the administration’s purported focus on government efficiency, especially considering the concurrent firing of thousands of federal employees. Crockett’s remarks were made during a hearing on Trump’s proposed sale of government buildings, further highlighting the perceived hypocrisy of his spending habits. The president’s absence from the dignified transfer of fallen soldiers during his extended Florida stay added to the criticism.
