President Donald Trump has reportedly spent about $71 million in taxpayer-funded costs on golfing during his second term, and if his current pace continues, that total could reach $300 million 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 $3.4 million in travel and security.
If Trump makes two more trips to Mar-a-Lago in December, his 2025 golf costs would surpass $75 million, putting his total for the term over $300 million, the outlet said. During his first term, Trump spent $151.5 million in taxpayer-funded golf travel and security.
Besides Mar-a-Lago, Trump made nine trips to his Bedminster, NJ, golf resort about $1.1 million each, and one trip to his new Aberdeen, Scotland course, costing nearly $10 million in taxpayer funds.
