ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
VC-25A flight: Palm Beach International Airport to Joint Base Andrews
The roll call places President Trump departing Palm Beach International Airport at 5:25 PM and arriving Joint Base Andrews at 7:30 PM on April 6, 2025, after a morning golf outing at Trump National Golf Club Jupiter. Using the provided benchmark for VC-25A at $177,843 per flight hour and a 0.5 domestic support factor, a 2.08-hour flight yields about $556,000 in federal travel cost.
Off-site Secret Service and staff for golf day in Palm Beach
Because the President spent the day off-site at Mar-a-Lago and his Jupiter golf club rather than at the White House, the methodology's peak off-site Secret Service and staff benchmark applies for the leisure portion of the day.
Local law-enforcement assistance in Palm Beach area
The day involved presidential movements between Mar-a-Lago, Trump National Golf Club Jupiter, and Palm Beach International Airport in South Florida. Using the Palm Beach local law-enforcement activation benchmark, a one-day assistance cost of about $60,000 is applied.
