How Much Did Trump’s Grifts Cost Taxpayers This Week?

From Day One, Donald Trump’s only priority has been enriching himself and his billionaire backers. While House Republicans voted to rip away Americans’ health care and food assistance this week, Trump and his billionaire friends were having a blast on the taxpayers’ dime. Everyone (except Karoline Leavitt) can see it clear as day — Trump is selling out the American people and profiting off his presidency.

Here are Trump’s grifts of the week — and how he’s making working families pay for them:

💰GRIFT: Trump accepted a $400 million (yes, you read that right) luxury jet from Qatar.
COST TO TAXPAYERS: $135 million to maintain the plane every year and potentially over $1 billion to retrofit the plan as Air Force One.

💰GRIFT: Trump threw a lavish memecoin dinner party (where guests were served filet mignon hours after Republicans voted to cut food assistance for working families) — all to promote his own crypto scheme and thank foreign nationals for bankrolling him.
COST TO TAXPAYERS: Trump used Marine One to travel to and from his golf course — costing taxpayers up to $20,000 an hour — where Trump promoted his own business from behind the presidential seal.

💰GRIFT: Trump’s ultra-wealthy friends funneled $148 million to his business to buy favors from the White House.
COST TO TAXPAYERS: A president working in the best interests of the American people, not his ultra-wealthy friends.
