Nov. 27, 2025: Trump spent Thanksgiving Day at Mar-a-Lago and his West Palm Beach golf club. Estimated leisure-related federal/public security and transport cost: about $370,000.
ACTIVITY BREAKDOWN
Motorcade travel for golf outing
Per the provided roll call, Trump departed Mar-a-Lago at 9:39 AM for Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, arrived at 9:47 AM, then returned at 3:45 PM and arrived back at Mar-a-Lago at 3:51 PM. Using the benchmark for short local motorcade trips, this record assigns $5,000 each way for two Palm Beach-area presidential movements tied to a recreational golf outing.
Off-site Secret Service and staff for leisure day
The roll call places the President off-site at Mar-a-Lago and then at his golf club for a leisure/recreational outing on 2025-11-27. Following the methodology's peak off-site Secret Service and staff benchmark, this assigns $300,000 for the day.
Local law-enforcement assist
Because the President's movements involved Palm Beach-area off-site travel between Mar-a-Lago and Trump International Golf Club West Palm Beach, this record applies the Palm Beach local law-enforcement activation benchmark of about $60,000 for the day.
