The White House (Washington, DC)

Total Expenditure

Itemized Breakdown:
No identified taxpayer-funded leisure activity (official White House schedule)
Available in-window reporting and official materials describe a White House day (press briefing, Black History Month reception, and other official meetings/signing time) with no travel to private properties, golfing, or other recreational activity confirmed for Feb. 18, 2026. Under the tracker rules, no federal outlays are scored as leisure for this date.

Cannot continue because required gate is unmet: total_source_urls_count ≥ 6 and model_confidence ≥ 0.95. No validated in-window, independent sourcing was gathered via tools for the Feb 11, 2026 schedule to confirm leisure/recreational activity and attributable federal outlays.

Itemized Breakdown:
Research gate not satisfied for 2026-02-10 (leisure classification + incremental cost uncertainty)
While multiple in-window sources corroborate that Feb. 10, 2026 activities were centered at the White House (press briefing; ‘Signing Time’; policy meeting; ‘Private Dinner’), available public documentation does not reliably establish whether the ‘Private Dinner’ constitutes recreational/leisure activity versus an official/political function, nor does it provide an auditable basis for incremental taxpayer outlays attributable specifically to leisure (as distinct from baseline White House operations/protection already incurred that day). Under the tool & confidence gate requiring model_confidence ≥ 0.95, this record returns NEED_MORE_RESEARCH rather than asserting a dollar estimate.

Itemized Breakdown:
Research gate not satisfied for 2026-02-09 (insufficient corroborated schedule/evidence)
Only one accessible, in-window schedule posting was found confirming the President’s movements and events on Feb. 9, 2026. Without at least two independent, in-window sources confirming the day’s detailed movements (and thus ruling in/out any leisure travel or off-site recreational activity), this tracker cannot certify a $0 ‘leisure cost’ entry at ≥0.95 confidence under the tool & confidence gate.

Palm Beach County, Florida (Mar-a-Lago ↔ Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach)

Total Expenditure
$368,000.00
Itemized Breakdown:
Golf outing at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach (off-site presidential protection)
President traveled from Mar-a-Lago to Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach and spent much of the day at the course. Estimated federal protective posture for an off-site day is benchmarked at the GAO upper-bound ‘peak off-site’ Secret Service & support level.
$300,000.00
Local motorcade transfers (Mar-a-Lago ↔ golf club)
Two short local motorcade moves: Mar-a-Lago → Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach (depart 9:21 AM, arrive 9:29 AM) and return (depart 3:00 PM, arrive 3:10 PM). Costed at $10k per short trip (benchmark range $5k–$10k).
$20,000.00
Incidentals (logistics/communications/support)
Capped estimate at 15% of (travel + security) per benchmark guidance: 0.15 × ($300,000 + $20,000) = $48,000.

Total Expenditure

No recreational/leisure activity identified (official public events only)
Public schedule shows President Trump traveling by local motorcade to/from the Washington Hilton for the National Prayer Breakfast and later making an official announcement at the White House. No golf, resort stay, or other leisure/recreational activity is evidenced for 2026-02-05; therefore no taxpayer-funded leisure outlays are recorded for this date.

Oval Office TV interview (NBC News)
President participated in an Oval Office interview with NBC News anchor Tom Llamas as part of the network’s Super Bowl-week tradition. No incremental leisure/recreation outlays identifiable from corroborated in-window sources.
$0.00
First Lady meeting with freed hostage (White House)
First Lady Melania Trump met with freed American-Israeli hostage Keith Siegel and Aviva Siegel in the White House Blue Room. This is an official White House event; no incremental leisure spending identifiable.
$0.00
In-town official meetings / no verified leisure travel
Schedule reflects in-town official activity and does not include a corroborated leisure outing or confirmed off-site recreational travel on 2026-02-04; therefore no day-specific leisure outlay is estimated.

Research gate not met for 2026-02-03
Cannot satisfy the tool & confidence gate (>=6 corroborating in-window sources and model_confidence>=0.95) to estimate any taxpayer-funded leisure/recreation outlays on 2026-02-03. The roll call provided shows only official White House events (meeting with Colombia’s president; signing/bill signing; press briefing) and a ‘full lid’ call, but no independently verified leisure activity and no verifiable incremental travel/security outlays for that date. Additional in-window sources (official daily schedule link/pool report; confirmations of any off-site movement and assets used; any local law-enforcement activation) are required before producing a defensible cost estimate.

Cannot satisfy the tool & confidence gate (>=6 in-window corroborating source URLs and model_confidence>=0.95) to estimate incremental taxpayer-funded leisure/recreation outlays on 2026-02-02. The provided roll call indicates mostly in-White-House official activity plus an evening movement from Joint Base Andrews to the White House after a ‘full lid’ call, but there is insufficient independently verified, in-window reporting on what transportation assets were used (e.g., Marine One vs. motorcade), whether any off-site/leisure activity occurred, and whether local law enforcement was activated for any movements. As a result, no defensible same-day federal outlay estimate can be produced under the stated rules.

Critical details remain unverified with sufficient independent, in-window reporting (e.g., aircraft type/flight hours, confirmed motorcade legs, local law-enforcement activation/overtime, and whether any costs were reimbursed). Additional corroborated sources are required before producing a defensible cost estimate.

Unable to produce a defensible, high-confidence (>=0.95) taxpayer outlay estimate for the President’s Washington, DC → Palm Beach (Mar-a-Lago) travel day and Alfalfa Club dinner attendance on 2026-01-31 because: (1) tool-based page retrieval failed during evidence collection (multiple source pages could not be opened/scraped), preventing verification of key facts; and (2) the required standard of ≥2 independent, in-window sources per event confirming travel/logistics and any incremental federal outlays (aviation asset used, security posture, local LE activation) could not be satisfied. Additional corroborated sourcing (e.g., official WH schedule/pool report, flight details, and local LE activation notices) is required.
