Trump's Secret Service detail to pay $600K for golf carts and port-a-potties to use at his New Jersey club

The Secret Service is allocating more than $600,000 to rent golf carts and portable toilets for use in Bedminster, New Jersey, the home of President Donald Trump’s private country club, according to a review of government procurement data by The Independent.

On June 3, the agency signed a pair of definitive contracts with Associates Golf Car Service of Poughkeepsie, New York, and Restroom Resources LLC of Wrightstown, New Jersey, federal records show.

The agreement with Associates Golf Car Service Inc., for ‘Golf Car Rental and Transportation Services,” is worth a potential $550,930 and runs through June 2, 2026. Restroom Resources’s work order for “portable restroom rentals and services” is worth up to $80,385, runs through May 31, 2026, and comes with a three-year renewal option, for a potential total of $333,801. Taxpayers, as is customary, will be footing both bills.

Secret Service agents in golf carts normally ride several holes ahead of and behind Trump when he hits the links, in order to ensure his security. And while it is unclear exactly how the portable restrooms will be used, they are presumably for the convenience of agents on the property and not because they are banned from using the facilities inside, as they were rumored to be at the 5,000 square-foot Washington, D.C. spread rented by First Daughter Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner in 2017.

1. Trump Crime Family are experts at scamming the US taxpayer.

[Easterncedar]

2. They never miss a trick

And you still hear magaloons saying he’s too rich to be corrupted. Hilarious.

3. Talk about a scam.

A nice golf cart costs $16,000 . For the cost of renting them for a year , they could have bought 30 of them. Is there really a train of 30 golf carts following Trump when he is golfing ?

I bet that if some investigative journalist does some digging they will find connections between the owner of that rental company and the maga universe.

Just another scam.

4. The Secret Service shouldn't have to pay this POS...

…excuse for a human being one damn dime for ANYTHING!

[Deuxcents]

5. That's just one bill..they have to eat and will need funds for that and for lodging.

TSF knows grifting, scams and gouging but not a single thing about everyday life in America for the rest of us. He’s out of touch, in more ways than one

6. We bought golf carts for him in his 1st term

Maybe a different course?

7. Diapers are cheaper

Dear Secret Service,

He wears ‘em. So can you.

[Buddyzbuddy]

8. No golf carts for SS. Let that fat f.ck go off on his own.

His choice. Otherwise, he can provide the carts.

9. Water is $125 for a ten ounce bottle. Secret Service Special.

10. So, in other words--TAX Payers are paying for porta potties, golf carts etc so Trump can GOLF and make money

at his club. You can bet LOTS of money is going into Trumps wallet during his trips to his golf courses!!

11. I asked ChatGBT how much has been spent onTrumps Golphing Trips this term

As of March 31, 2025, President Donald Trump's golf outings have cost U.S. taxpayers approximately $26 million. This figure includes expenses such as Air Force One flights, motorcade transportation, and security measures during his visits to his own golf properties.

So this doesn’t include last 2 weeks of January and February.
His first term was around 102 million. He looks like he is on target to blow that out of the water.

14. Hallucinating LLMs are never a reliable source. You can find info from sources that are actually

pretty trustworthy using traditional search.

[mdbl]

12. Another of the many colossol wastes of taxpayer money.

[republianmushroom]

13. At 600K those golf carts and port-a-poties must be gold plated.

$1,643 a day.

[Brainfodder]

15. USA will recoup this later, count on it!

[Karasu]

16. This country has become such a fucking joke.
