ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
Golf-club leisure trip from the White House
Per the provided roll call, President Trump departed the White House at 8:45 AM for Trump National Golf Club Washington DC with two grandchildren, arrived at 9:18 AM, spent the day at the club including time on the golf course and later the tennis courts, then departed at 2:32 PM and returned to the White House at 3:06 PM. Using the methodology’s leisure-cost benchmarks, this same-day local recreational outing is costed as a short-trip motorcade/movement estimate of $10,000 plus roughly 34 minutes each way of Marine One-equivalent presidential lift time (about 0.57 flight hours total × $24,000 ≈ $13,600), rounded to $23,600.
