Secret Service Spends Over $600K on Golf Carts, Toilets at Trump NJ Club

The U.S. Secret Service has allocated over $600,000 to rent golf carts and portable restrooms for use at President Donald Trump's private golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, under contracts signed on June 3. The contract with Associates Golf Car Service for golf cart rentals is valued at up to $550,930 through June 2026, while Restroom Resources' portable restroom services are contracted for up to $80,385 through May 2026, with a three-year renewal option that could total $333,801. These expenses, paid by taxpayers, support Secret Service agents who use golf carts to provide security as Trump plays golf, typically riding several holes ahead and behind him. The portable restrooms are believed to be for the convenience of Secret Service personnel on the property, supplementing existing facilities, especially when club facilities are closed. The current contracts reflect a significant increase compared to a 2019 allocation of $95,250 for golf cart rentals at the same location, though it is unclear if this is due to a larger rental fleet or increased prices. Secret Service officials and contracting parties have not provided comments on the expenditures.
