Rich Stein (he/him)<p>Says here that each Mar-a-Lago golf junket cost taxpayers $3,383,250 (estimate from a 2019 GAO report). Conservative estimate based on inflation translates to ~$4.2 million today. We ought to have a trump golf cost calculator that runs since the tariffs went into effect. He's such a caring, thoughtful, economical individual. 🙃<br><a href="https://www.pennlive.com/news/2025/02/donald-trumps-golfing-tab-in-first-month-of-second-term-you-wont-believe-how-much-he-spent.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pennlive.com/news/2025/02/dona</span><span class="invisible">ld-trumps-golfing-tab-in-first-month-of-second-term-you-wont-believe-how-much-he-spent.html</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trumpTariffs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trumpTradeWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trumpTradeWar</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/trumpGolfBoondoggle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trumpGolfBoondoggle</span></a></p>

I Voted for McGovern<p>Trump is adding the Moron Premium to all prices paid by American consumers. If you live here, you are a part of the process that chose him, thus you are rewarded with higher prices on everything, because everything we want and need now costs what it did before PLUS the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MORONPremium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MORONPremium</span></a> to pay for Trump Tariffs. But that's the least of it. Good luck paying for anything once the economy collapses into a Global Depression.
