The staggering cost of Donald Trump’s vacations to U.S. taxpayers has come to light, just as he launched a fiery tirade against what he called excessive non-working holidays.
It’s well known that Trump relishes time off at luxurious spots, especially on the golf course. He frequently retreats to Mar-a-Lago, his exclusive Florida resort, spending considerable time away from the White House during his second term.
By March, Trump had already visited Mar-a-Lago six times since returning to office in January—a costly pattern. These trips, far from being simple getaways, have been criticized for their heavy financial burden on public resources.
From the use of Air Force One and accompanying aircraft to the extensive motorcades and heightened security measures, each trip racks up millions in expenses.
