How much has trumps golfing cost taxpayers?
Based on recent analyses and reports, the estimated cost to taxpayers for Donald Trump's golfing during his second term in office has reached significant figures. As of March 30, 2025, one analysis indicated a cost of approximately $26 million for his golf outings at his own courses. Another report from July 25, 2025, cites a figure exceeding $26 million as of March 30. Some sources also reported in March 2025 that the cost for Trump's second term golf excursions had surpassed $18 million, while suggesting he was on pace to exceed the first-term total of $151.5 million. One report from July 26, 2025, estimates that his five-day trip to Scotland to promote his golf resorts will cost at least $10 million and will increase the total golf tab in his second term to at least $52 million. It also states that he spent $152 million in taxpayer money playing golf at his own resorts in his first term.
These costs encompass various expenses, including travel on Air Force One, security measures, and the use of government resources. Notably, some reports indicate that taxpayer money is also spent directly at Trump's resorts for services like hotel rooms, golf carts, food, and drinks for the Secret Service agents, raising concerns about potential conflicts of interest, according to The Economic Times.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report in 2019 that examined four trips Trump made to Mar-a-Lago during his first term, calculating the total cost at $13.6 million, with $60,000 paid to Mar-a-Lago itself. This included the operating costs of government aircraft and boats, as well as temporary duty costs for personnel supporting his travel. The GAO also found that the Secret Service and Department of Defense did not consistently report the cost of protecting the President, urging for improved reporting systems.
It's important to note that these figures are estimates and can vary depending on the source and the methodology used to calculate the costs. Some analyses extrapolate based on the GAO report, while others gather data from various sources to arrive at their conclusions.
