President Donald Trump took time out of a weekend otherwise spent lecturing West Point grads about the perils of trophy wives and launching merciless attacks against Harvard University to post an image to social media of a golfer friend being gnashed in the genitals by a goose. “I always said golf can be a dangerous sport! My friend being bit at Bedminster,” he wrote in the caption to a Truth Social post Sunday. Aside from the threat of injury-by-barnyard-animal, Trump’s golf habit has been a source of concern going back to the earliest days of his first term given how often his ad-hoc trips to the course have left secret security personnel scrambling to ensure the area is safe. Trump survived an attempt on his life at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on September 15, 2024—two months after a bullet grazed his ear during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump has racked up an eye-watering tab golfing on presidential time and at the taxpayer’s expense, which between Jan. 20 and the end of March alone stood at roughly $26 million, according to Penn Live.
