Since returning to the office, Donald Trump has spent 79 days golfing out of 346 days. That is almost one quarter of his presidency, about 22.8%. spent on the golf course.
Those days come straight from the president’s own public schedule, tracked by Roll Call Factbase. This is not guesswork. It is documented time away from the job.
And it gets worse.
The estimated cost to taxpayers for Trump’s golf trips so far is $110.6 million. That number is based on official government data from a GAO report that looked at the cost of Trump’s golf travel during his first term.
Now there is also a video making the rounds online.

It shows Trump at one of his golf clubs, relaxed, unguarded, and very much in his element. People are calling it his natural state.
Just Trump being Trump.

The reaction has been brutal.
Trump looks like he wandered away from his nursing home.

Trump has zero interest in spending even a second with any of the MAGA plebs that voted for him.
…he is repulsed by his own MAGA voters.

When he is there he really isn’t there.

He is only comfortable being a hotel manager. He is terrible at being president.

Trump often lashes out online about loyalty, toughness, and sacrifice. Yet he has found plenty of time for golf while attacking judges, journalists, and even grieving families.
That contrast is hard to miss.
There is also the money.
Every golf day means military flights, security convoys, and massive protection costs. This is the same president who claims to hate waste and says the government spends too much.
