The president is at his waterfront mansion again this weekend,
his sixth visit to Florida and the beloved golf courses he owns since his 20 January inauguration.""
His increasingly frequent and disruptive trips home are fast becoming a drain on county resources,
obligating Bradshaw to put helicopters in the air, extra manpower on the ground,
and boats on both sides of Trump’s opulent mansion sandwiched between the Atlantic
and the Intracoastal Waterway almost continuously.""The demands from the Secret Service to help them protect Trump,
and the president’s family and entourage, are 'substantial',

just before the president flew in for an extended six-day visit.""The Palm Beach bill, high as it is, pales against the federal costs of indulging the commander-in-chief’s wanderlust. That’s included his multimillion-dollar trip to the Super Bowl in New Orleans last month,
and an appearance at Nascar’s Daytona 500 weeks later,
which critics saw as little more than an extravagant and expensive photo op.""Whenever he wishes to roam, the presidential airliner Air Force One is fueled up and fully staffed,
racking up an hourly operational cost approaching $200,000, according to a 2022 air force assessment."https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/09/trump-golf-trips
