Instead of funneling more money into Trump’s business at their glitzy Mar-a-Lago fundraiser this weekend, the RNC should consider refunding taxpayers for the tens of millions of dollars Trump has wasted on his frequent trips to his own properties – including at least $42 million at just Mar-a-Lago alone.<\/p>\n

Trump’s Mar-a-Lago trip by the numbers:<\/u><\/strong>  <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

·         So far, Trump has spent nearly one-third<\/a> of his presidency at a Trump-branded property.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

·         In total, Trump has spent 130 days<\/a> at one of his properties, including 99 days<\/a> at one of his golf clubs and 56 days<\/a> at Mar-a-Lago. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

·         Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago alone are estimated to cost at least $3 million<\/a> each. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

·         This will be Trump’s 14th<\/sup> trip to Mar-a-Lago, which would mean he has wasted at least $42 million in taxpayer money at just this one property.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

·         Meanwhile, the RNC has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars<\/a> in regular payments to Trump’s properties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
