On April 20, 2025, President Trump visited his DC-area golf club. Taxpayer cost: ~$320,000 for motorcade and peak Secret Service protection.
ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
Motorcade to/from Trump National Golf Club
Local motorcade for the President's round-trip between the White House and Trump National Golf Club Washington DC. Standard cost benchmark (~$10,000 per trip) for short, non-prime distance motorcade within the DC metro area.
Secret Service & staff (peak, off-site leisure)
Peak expenditure for Secret Service protection and staff while the President is off-site, including planning, overtime, and perimeter for both club and transit—reflecting GAO-referenced rates and average costs for similar off-site trips to Trump properties.
