Trump on Par to Nearly Double Staggering Amount of Taxpayer Money He Spent on Golf in His First Term: Reports

Trump spent $101.2 million on golf trips in just over 14 months, with Mar-a-Lago visits costing about $3.4 million each, raising concerns over taxpayer expenses.

  • On Saturday, a HuffPost analysis revealed that President Donald Trump's golf trips have cost taxpayers at least $101.2 million during his first 14 months in office.
  • Trump has played golf on 110 of his 435 days in office, already reaching two-thirds of the $151.5 million spent during his entire first term.
  • Visits to Mar-a-Lago in Florida average about $3.4 million per trip, while Doral costs about $2.7 million and Bedminster in New Jersey around $1.1 million.
  • The White House recently began labeling these outings as 'executive time.' Jordan Libowitz of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said, 'If his goal were to help struggling Americans, one thing he could try is stop spending their money going to his golf courses.'
  • At this current pace, total taxpayer spending on golf could reach $300 million by the end of his second term as POTUS, continuing despite his previous criticism of former President Barack Obama's golf habits.
