WASHINGTON — American taxpayers have now spent more than $26 million in Donald Trump’s second term so the president can play golf at one of his own courses.

Trump arrived Saturday morning at his golf course in West Palm Beach, adjacent to the county jail and across the Intracoastal Waterway from Mar-a-Lago, his Palm Beach country club.

It is his 14th day at that course and 18th day on one of his courses since his Jan. 20 inauguration, meaning he has spent more than a quarter of his 69 days in office in his second term playing golf.

According to a HuffPost analysis based on a 2019 Government Accountability Office report, the total cost to date for Trump’s second-term golf outings is $26,127,531.
