Golf/leisure day at Trump property (taxpayer-funded security, travel, incidentals)
Based on consistent daily cost benchmarks for Trump's golf outings—covering Air Force One, Secret Service (off-site peak), local law enforcement, and incidentals—taxpayer outlays for presidential leisure/golf activity at Mar-a-Lago continue at an estimated $1.4 million per day in August 2025. This aligns with multiple independent sources reporting a total of $71.4 million across 51 golf days since January 2025, averaging about $1.4 million per trip. Expenditures include Secret Service ($300k/day), Air Force One flight (average $670k, assuming typical 3.5h domestic roundtrip), local law enforcement ($60k), support aircraft, and capped incidentals.
