Secret Service paid $7G to use golf carts for Trump Thanksgiving

Blowing money is just par for the course.

Newly revealed orders show that the Secret Service had to chip in $7,470 to rent golf carts while President Trump spent Thanksgiving at his private club Mar-a-Lago.

According to USA Today, the expense added to the already sizeable amount the agency has had to spend on renting the diminutive course-covering vehicles, with the current total reaching at least $144,975 so far.

The contract to rent golf carts in Florida is not with a Trump-branded course but rather the Miami-based Golf Cart & Utility Distributors.

However, that sum for the rentals is nothing compared to what Trump's golf habits have cost taxpayers in full. The site Trumpgolfcount.com estimates his 78 visits to golf clubs since inauguration thus far have broken the $84 million mark.

In comparison, President Obama spent no more than $97 million on travel in all eight years in the White House.

Due in part to Trump's numerous trips to his golf courses in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia, the Secret Service reached a point in August where it could not afford to pay overtime for more than 1,000 agents required to protect the President as well as his many family members and properties.

A bill exists that would authorize further overtime pay, but it has stalled in Congress for two months.
