President Trump's luxury properties have charged the U.S. government more than $1.1 million since he took office – billing taxpayers for room rentals at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club this spring while it was closed due to coronavirus, a new document show. The documents, which include receipts and invoices from Trump's businesses, ...
While no laws were broken , the invoices released by the Secret Service highlight the relationship the president's private businesses continue to have with the U.S. government -- one that purportedly sees trips to his private club on taxpayer dime translate to more money for him.
Taxpayers have reportedly paid President Donald Trump’s luxury hotels and resorts over $1.1 million since he took office, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post, including almost $22,000 for rooms at a New Jersey resort that was closed for the Covid-19 pandemic.

Post reporter Philip Bump reported Trump made 19 trips to Mar-a-Lago between January 2017 and February 2019. "If we, therefore, assume a blanket average of $3.4 million per trip, regardless of duration, the total the government has spent on Trump’s trips to the resort tops $64 million," Bump wrote.
New York (CNN Business) Many once-loyal members of Mar-a-Lago are leaving because they no longer want to have any connection to former President Donald Trump, according to the author of the definitive book about the resort.
In 2019, the former president transferred his permanent residence to the Florida resort from Trump Tower in New York. But questions remain about whether he'll be allowed to live there permanently, because it may violate his 1993 agreement with the town of Palm Beach.

CNN reports that Trump currently owns 17 golf courses, to be exact, and you can find them pretty much anywhere golf is popular: not only up and down the East Coast United States, from Florida to New York, but also in countries like Scotland, the UAE, and Ireland.
A few of Trump's golf courses have earned stern rebukes from environmental groups due to the damage their construction has caused or could cause to surrounding ecosystems. For example, the Guardian reported in 2018 that the golf resort in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was guilty of partially destroying a fragile dune system composed of sands and plant life so unique that the area had previously been recognized as a site of special scientific interest by the Scottish Natural Heritage. Over in the United States, ABC says a Trump National Golf Course in Virginia was cited for cutting down trees in a protected area that was vulnerable to flooding, less than a decade after previously getting in trouble for chopping down another 400 trees. The justification? They wanted to make a clearer view for guests.
Year after year, according to Forbes, Eric Trump has borrowed his father's Westchester, New York, golf club for the Eric Trump Foundation Golf Invitational: a ritzy charity event where million of dollars are donated to St. Jude's hospital to benefit kids with cancer. As the younger Trump tells it, the greatest advantage to his event is that since it's his father's golf course, he gets to rent it out for free so all the money goes toward helping children with cancer with little upfront cost.

Back in 2010, according to Golf.com, a man named Martin Greenberg, CEO of the Sterling Commodities Corp., participated in a charity event at Trump's golf course in Westchester County, New York, wherein contestants were offered $1 million if they could smack a hole-in-one.
Keep in mind, Ferry Point is a public course but charges a hefty $175 a round, as opposed to the normal $20 to $50 at other public courses. Recently, Trump's controversial White House stint may have hit the golf course hard, leading to a 12 percent revenue decrease in 2017, reports the Washington Post.
In 2012, Donald Trump purchased the Ritz-Carlton golf course in Jupiter, Florida, according to NBC, and for whatever reason, a group of previous members decided to ship out. Under the former rules of the agreement, these members were permitted to continue playing golf on the course until their replacements were found: like it or not, that's the contract they signed. When Trump caught wind of this, though, he wrote a letter to the members of the club saying that, as the new owner, he wanted them gone ASAP and these former rules no longer applied. According to USA Today, Trump also refused to give the former members their refundable deposits, some of which were as high as $210,000.
Trump's sons Eric and Donald Jr. currently operate his golf properties, and while Eric has stated that the business is "spectacular," according to CBS — and certain properties, such as the Doral in Miami, have certainly done quite well — the family is notoriously cagey when it comes to giving details.
