As Covid surges and his campaign flounders, Trump spends more taxpayer money at his own golf course
As much of the country faced uncertainty going into the weekend, with enhanced unemployment insurance and the moratorium on evictions expiring, Trump thought it would be a good time to funnel yet more taxpayer money to one of his golf courses.
With possibly only 93 days left to make as much money as he can from taxpayers, Trump has now spent $139.8 Million at his golf courses, according to S.V Dáte of Huffpost.
