Trump Golf Costs Top $110 Million
Conservative group Judicial Watch criticized Obama for spending $106 million for travel over his two full terms. Trumps golf tab surpassed that in just 30 months.
Donald Trumps presidential golf costs have topped $110 million in his 2 1/2 years in office more than $4 million more than a conservative groups estimate for predecessor Barack Obamas total travel costs over two full terms.
Trump arrived at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Friday evening and is scheduled to remain there through Sunday afternoon. It is his 18th golf trip there since taking office. Sunday will mark his 67th day at that course and his 199th day at a golf course he owns (since becoming president).
Each of the presidents trips to Bedminster costs taxpayers at least $1.1 million in travel and security expenses, according to a HuffPost analysis. Each trip to Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida of which Trump has made 24 costs taxpayers $3.4 million. Since taking office, Trump also has visited his golf resorts in Los Angeles; Doral, Florida; Doonbeg, Ireland; and Turnberry, Scotland ― all on the taxpayer dime. He also has made 64 day trips to his course in northern Virginia.
During his campaign for president, Trump claimed that he would be too busy working to have time for any vacations at all. I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off.
