President Trump's golf cart rentals in the U.S. have cost taxpayers $300,675 since he took office, TMZ reported.
Federal documents indicate many of these expenses come from Trump's time at Mar-a-Lago, according to the online tabloid. Secret Service uses the golf carts to follow Trump on his golfing excursions.
The total expense of Trump's golf outings, including Secret Service protection, comes out to an estimated $77 million, according to TMZ. The more than $300,000 figure only refers to Trump's domestic golf outings, the news outlet reported.
Critics have often slammed Trump over the cost and frequency of his golf trips. Most recently, the president was met with large protests when he played at a Virginia golf course on the day of the late Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) funeral at the beginning of September.

(53,758 posts)3. How much of that goes into his pocket since he golf's at his own resorts?
Do we taxpayers pick up the tab for meals, lodging, etc. for his whole entourage at his resorts?
