According to a report by The Independent, the Secret Service is spending over $600,000 for renting golf carts and portable toilets to use in Bedminster, New Jersey, the home of President Donald Trump’s private country club. Federal records show that a pair of definitive contracts were signed by the agency with Associates Golf Car Service of Poughkeepsie, New York, and Restroom Resources LLC of Wrightstown, New Jersey back on June 3.
The first is for ‘Golf Car Rental and Transportation Services’, which costs around $550,930 and will remain valid through June 2, 2026. The other contract is for ‘portable restroom rentals and services’, costing around $80,385 and will run through May 31, 2026 and comes with an option of three-year renewal. It should be noted here that this huge sum will be paid from the American tax payers’ money.

A spokesperson from Secret Service told The Independent over email, “The U.S. Secret Service has contracts in place for portable restrooms and golf cart rentals to support protective operations in Bedminster, New Jersey. The golf carts are used by personnel to move around club property. Secret Service personnel have access to restrooms in club facilities; however, additional restrooms are needed to support the number of personnel onsite. These rentals also allow for restroom access in additional locations on club property and when club facilities are closed such as after business hours.”
The Independent further reported, “In 2019, the Secret Service allocated $95,250 to rent golf carts from Associates Golf Car Service, to be used at Bedminster over a six-month period between May 6 and October 31. It is unclear whether the new rate of $550,930 represents a far larger rental fleet this time around, or if prices have more than doubled in the years since.”
While Trump would be enjoying his passion for golf, tax payers of the country will have to contribute towards it. With Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill around the corner, the American citizens might witness a troubling financial time. It is important to note here that Elon Musk, Trump’s former BFF has spoken vehemently against this bill and has also proclaimed that he would campaign against any Republican who supports this bill.
Musk has claimed that this bill would lead to major economic disaster and keeping the interest of American citizens in mind, it should not pass. Musk’s take on the bill is interesting now because previously, when he was with the Trump administration, he had supported this bill.

However, since his exit from the Trump administration in May, he has been publicly going against the President. Things had seemed to cool down between the two but with the emergence of Musk’s criticism of Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill it looks like the two have a long bumpy road ahead.
