Summary
Donald Trump’s frequent golf trips, especially to his properties like Mar-a-Lago, cost taxpayers millions while he cuts federal jobs and claims to fight waste.
Trump has made seven trips to Florida since his inauguration, with each Mar-a-Lago visit costing approximately $3.4 million in federal funds.
His businesses profit by charging the government 300% above authorized rates for Secret Service accommodations. The Palm Beach sheriff alone spends $240,000 daily protecting Trump and is requesting $45 million for this year’s security.
Unlike previous presidents, Trump refuses to divest from his businesses, creating conflicts of interest as he enriches himself through taxpayer-funded visits to his properties.
