Donald Trump has cost the US over $100 million in golf expenses in his second term – 15 rough takedowns
We cross now to the US (again, sorry!) where someone has calculated the cost of Trump’s frequent trips to play golf at his own resorts – accompanied by his security detail, who are housed at the country’s expense.

The total is a little over $101 million, and is set to break the record he set for wasteful golf spending in his last term – which was around $150 million.
There’s always a tweet.

Twitter had some thoughts.
1.
$100 million — not spent on food assistance, health care, housing, or veterans.
Just golf! https://t.co/3yJ5qH0QAX

The total amount this man will steal from us—remembering that he just stole $10 billion for his private Board of Peace—will easily top $100 billion by the end, and possibly $500 billion https://t.co/P8WgjuKDro

He’s got $6.5 billion now off of being president. He should pay for these trips himself. But, he won’t because he’s a mooch. https://t.co/iVy1SE7npf

I wouldn't mind paying it if he had just stayed on the course and governed less https://t.co/4gO33agMLX

And his presidency has cost the world about $10 trillion the Middle East war, a fuel crisis that has no end and the threat of total nuclear annihilation closer than the human race has ever been at any time in its entire history.

Trump fan Ryan Davidson hoped to use Grok to provide some sort of gotcha moment.
@grok how much did obama’s golf tab cost us taxpayers and how much of biden in comparison to Trump’s?
— Ryan Davidson (@RyanSTTrader) March 29, 2026
Oops.
Obama's golf + vacation travel (mostly Hawaii) est. $85M over 8 years. Biden's DE home trips: at least $11M in flights + security over 4 years; golf was infrequent and low-cost. Trump's 1st term golf travel/security: $152M. His 2nd term (14 months): $101M+ so far, per…

We’ll just leave this here.
You’d think with all that money wasted on golf he’d be able to hit it straight 🤣 pic.twitter.com/1oNpmvOnXo
