Brace yourself for this jaw-dropping revelation: President Donald Trump's golfing habits are costing taxpayers a fortune, and the numbers are staggering!
- News Flash: Trump's Golfing Expenses Raise Eyebrows
Published on November 30, 2025, at 5:00 a.m., this report uncovers the shocking truth about the former president's golf bill.
By Brian Linder, a seasoned journalist with over 20 years of experience, the American people are in for a surprise.
Trump's love for golf is well-known, but the cost of this hobby is anything but trivial. According to a HuffPost analysis, Trump has spent an astonishing $71 million of taxpayer money on his golf outings this year alone. And the report suggests that he is on track to spend a mind-boggling $300 million on golf during his second term.
But here's where it gets controversial: Trump's golfing expenses during his first term were estimated at $151.5 million, meaning he's on course to double that amount. This has sparked outrage and disbelief among many.
Republican consultant Rick Wilson expressed his frustration, stating, "It's one more example of Trump defining the presidency down. Way, way down." But is this just a partisan opinion, or is there a deeper issue at play?
HuffPost's investigation reveals that Trump's recent golfing trip to his Palm Beach County course, a mere four miles from Mar-a-Lago, cost a staggering $3.4 million in travel and security. And that's not all. His frequent visits to Mar-a-Lago, followed by golfing in West Palm Beach and Jupiter, along with trips to Bedminster, New Jersey, and Aberdeen, Scotland, have all contributed to the mounting bill.
The total, according to HuffPost, has reached $70.8 million. However, another website, DidTrumpGolfToday.com, which tracks the president's golf trips, estimates an even higher figure of $107.8 million.
HuffPost's estimate is based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report that scrutinized Trump's early trips to Mar-a-Lago. The report calculated each trip's cost, which has likely increased due to inflation.
The costs associated with Trump's Florida golfing trips include Air Force One flights and C-17s transporting his motorcade vehicles. Additionally, police boats with machine guns and Coast Guard vessels are required for security at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump resides during his golfing excursions. Law enforcement and bomb-sniffing dogs add to the overall expense.
