Trump’s golf trips have cost taxpayers $71m since January and could eventually top staggering $300m, report says

President Donald Trump has reportedly spent $71 million in taxpayer-funded costs on golfing during his second term, with estimates suggesting the total could reach $300 million by the end of his term. His frequent visits to Mar-a-Lago and other golf resorts have incurred significant expenses, primarily due to extensive security measures. This spending has drawn scrutiny, especially given Trump's earlier promise to avoid golfing during his presidency. In contrast, former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama incurred far less in golf-related expenses due to their use of smaller aircraft and playing at nearby courses.
