Trump’s Taxpayer-Funded Golf Trips Exceed $26 Million
President Trump’s golfing expenses have surpassed $26 million since the start of his second term, exceeding $20 million more quickly than during his first term. This cost includes Air Force One travel, military transportation of his motorcade, and extensive security measures like marine patrols and bomb-sniffing dogs. The expenses are based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report, which calculated the cost per trip in 2017 dollars; the actual cost is likely significantly higher. This substantial expenditure contrasts sharply with the president’s repeated claims of reducing government waste.
