On Oct. 19, 2025, Trump spent the day golfing at his West Palm Beach club before flying back to Washington. Estimated same-day federal leisure-related outlay: about $760,000.
ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
Golf outing at Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach with same-day return to the White House
The provided roll call places President Trump at Mar-a-Lago in the morning, traveling by motorcade to Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach at 9:19–9:27 AM, remaining there until about 3:02 PM, then returning to Mar-a-Lago before departing Palm Beach for Washington that evening. Because this is a documented leisure golf day, counted federal outlays are the same-day Palm Beach off-site protective posture plus local law-enforcement assistance and short motorcade movements, and the Palm Beach-to-Joint Base Andrews VC-25A flight. Using the supplied benchmark formula for a domestic VC-25A leg with no support factor and an estimated 2.2167 flight hours from 6:24 PM to 8:37 PM, the flight cost is about $394,225; adding $300,000 off-site Secret Service/staff, $60,000 local law-enforcement assist, and about $10,000 for short motorcade movements yields roughly $764,225, rounded to $760,000.
