In his first term Trump spent 293 days golfing and ran up a $151 million dollar price tag for taxpayers so he could play golf at HIS golf courses.
In his second term Trump is doubling down on visits to his golfing properties. Since he retook office at the end of January 2025 his golf trips have already cost roughly two-thirds of the amount spent than during his entire first term.
By the end of his second term Trump's penchant for spending time golfing will add up to be about $300 million dollars paid for by taxpayers.
To put things in perspective Trump has already spent over a quarter of his time in office golfing. He's logged approximately 120 days of golfing in his second term, according to public schedule trackers like Donald Trump Tracker and Trump Golf Track.
Comparing Trump's and Obama's golf excursions is astonishing. Obama played 333 rounds of golf during his two terms in office. So that was roughly 41 rounds of golf per year. Trump has already smoked that statistic in 18 months of his second term.
President Joe Biden only played 20 rounds of golf during his presidency. He had more important things to do like fighting COVID and restoring an economy that Trump had crippled before he was in office.
Despite starting a war with Iran that he's lost control of; Trump can't stay away from his links. He also uses those golfing days to push new grifts with his billionaire buddies. He's done most of his fundraisers at his golf courses.
In one case it cost Americans $9.7 million dollars last year when he went to Scotland for the opening of a new golf course in Aberdeen. Most of the rest of the visits averaged 1.7 million dollars each.
I highly recommend reading sportswriter Rick Reilly's book, Commander in Cheat where he documented the ways that Trump broke the rules.
As it Stands, it's hard to believe Americans continue to put up with an 81-year-old demented felon and sex abuser who has turned the presidency into a money-making scam.
