4. Article says probably even higher as this is an estimate from costs from 8 years ago.

That more than $26 million figure is based on 2017 costs, which are almost certainly higher today.

During his first term, Trump’s insistence on playing golf at his own resorts cost taxpayers a total of $151.5 million, with Trump spending 293 days on one of his courses over those four years.

Great point when the MAGA blather on about him 'donating' his salary.
