President spent $151.5m in taxpayer-funded golf travel and security in his first presidential term

Donald Trump has reportedly spent about $71m in taxpayer-funded costs on golfing during his second term, and if his current pace continues, that total could reach $300m by the end of his term.

According to a HuffPost analysis, Trump’s latest visit, on Wednesday, marked his 16th trip to Mar-a-Lago this year, with each trip costing $3.4m in travel and security.

If Trump makes two more trips to Mar-a-Lago in December, his 2025 golf costs would surpass $75m, putting his total for the term over $300m, the outlet said.

During his first term, Trump spent $151.5m in taxpayer-funded golf travel and security.

    By that logic, Hegseth’s day drinking is part of his job if he does it with generals or foreign state officials.

    The way trump golfs is about as active as taking a road trip and stopping at every exit and pumping your gas. Bowling, billiards, and mini golf are on the same level as his golf game. I doubt he could even keep up with his peers in a game of pickle ball.
