More of: I can do whatever I want because I’m President. He is daring someone to challenge him. How far off can, “and I’m sticking around for a third term”, be?

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?
