President Donald Trump has allegedly spent a hefty amount of taxpayers’ money on improving his sporting capabilities since returning to office earlier this year.

Since being sworn in as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, Trump, 78, has hosted a disastrous meeting at the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, and appointed Elon Musk to head up the Department of Government Efficiency.

He had also claimed his presidential victory over Democratic ticket Kamala Harris was a ‘mandate’; is willing to release a ‘suspicious’ report on assassination attempts made against him, and recently signed an executive order establishing a controversial Bitcoin reserve.

Interestingly, Trump has also played golf on 13 of the 48 days he’s been in office.

According to an Independent report, this activity is costing taxpayers an eye-watering sum of money.

The businessman, who has previously described golf as a ‘passion’ rather than a game, owns 12 Trump Golf properties in the United States, two in Scotland, and one in Ireland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
