🏨 Where He Stayed (Hint: It Was Fancy)

Trump didn’t just hopscotch across the globe—he did it in style:

• Ritz-Carlton Riyadh

• St. Regis Doha

• Villa Taverna in Rome

• His own golf resorts in Florida, New Jersey, and Virginia

Many of these properties were Trump-branded, meaning public dollars flowed into businesses bearing his name.

👥 The Jet-Set MAGA Crew: Who Travels with Trump?

Trump never travels alone. For international trips, his entourage includes:

• 100+ Secret Service agents

• Military communications & logistics teams

• White House medical, security & protocol staff

• Senior aides, advance teams

• Press corps (30+ reporters)

• Melania Trump (spotted in Rome, UAE, and Florida)

Total staff per trip: 350–400 people

🏌️ Golf > Governing?

Since May 1, Trump’s played 13 rounds of golf, usually at his own courses. That includes:

• Trump International West Palm

• Trump Doral (LIV Golf stop)

• Trump Jupiter

• Trump National Sterling

• Trump Bedminster

He even hit the greens with Tiger Woods and Finland’s President Alexander Stubb.

“He’s golfed more this month than most CEOs do in a year,” one political insider joked.
“And he’s doing it from tee boxes named after himself.”

🍽️ From Papal Funerals to Meme Coin Dinners

This wasn’t all statecraft. Trump also:

• Attended Pope Francis’ funeral in Vatican City

• Hosted multiple MAGA Inc. dinners

• Played host to $Trump meme coin holders (yes, that’s real) at his Virginia club

Coming soon: a West Point graduation speech and June trips to the G7 in Canada and NATO in The Hague.

🗣️ Diplomacy or 2026 Campaign Tour?

Critics say the MAGA-in-Chief is using foreign policy to double as a pre-election roadshow. “It’s taxpayer-funded optics,” one Democratic strategist said. “He’s shaking hands, swinging clubs, and prepping for a 2026 red wave.”

The White House calls it “essential global leadership.”

💥 Final Scorecard:

Whether it’s diplomacy, campaign pre-gaming, or just the world’s most expensive golf tour, one thing’s for sure: Trump isn’t staying home—and the tab is on us.
