HuffPost has been tracking Trump’s golf trips since he retook office, and the outlet says the President’s time on the links has cost the American taxpayers $101.2 million dollars since Trump kicked off his second term at the end of January 2025.
On March 28th, Trump reportedly visited his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. The visit marked the 56th time the President has played golf at his West Palm Beach course since his second inauguration.
According to Huffpost, the President’s March 28th golf trip was the 110th day that Trump has spent on a golf course that he owns since his return to office, which the outlet noted means Trump has spent over a quarter of his time back in office golfing.
Trump visited his Doral resort five times at a cost of $2.7 million dollars each. However, while that may sound expensive, HuffPost pointed out that the President’s visits to his Mar-a-Lago resort were the most expensive at a cost of $3.4 million a trip.
Visiting Mar-a-Lago is more expensive because of the cost associated with patrolling the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Palm Beach and the Intracoastal Waterway, which separates Trump’s resort from mainland Florida.
When Trump is present, a Coast Guard ship is stationed offshore, and smaller law enforcement vessels with guns mounted on their bows are in the Intracoastal.
The biggest expenses of Trump’s trips are the high costs of Air Force One and the C-17 Air Force transports needed for the excursions, as well as the salaries of those protecting the President. The C-17s are needed to transport motorcade vehicles.
