Trump’s Golf Habits Back in the Spotlight

Since returning to the White House, Donald Trump has spent a surprising amount of time on the golf course—and American taxpayers may not be pleased.

On January 20, Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States. This marked his second time taking office. Since then, the 78-year-old has juggled presidential duties with regular visits to the golf course.

Shocking Golf Tally Revealed

Now, the numbers are in. Trump has played golf on 23 of his first 92 days back in office—about 25% of his presidency so far.

Over Easter weekend, he visited Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., with political ally Elon Musk. While it’s unclear if they played a full round, the visit wasn’t listed as an official golf day by Trump Golf Track, a site that monitors the former president’s time on the green.

Florida Trips Drive Up Costs

Most of Trump’s golf outings have taken place in Florida at courses he personally owns. These trips require extensive travel and security, driving up costs significantly.

In fact, during his first term, Trump’s golf trips cost taxpayers approximately $151.5 million, according to government records.

Price Tag for Taxpayers Keeps Growing

A March report by The Independent revealed that Trump’s travel to Florida courses has already cost the public over $18 million—and that was after only 13 golf days. With the current count at 23, the total has likely climbed far higher.

A President Who Loves the Game

Trump has often spoken about his love for golf. However, as the cost to taxpayers grows, so does public scrutiny of his time spent on the course.
