The national debt rose from roughly $36.2 trillion when President Trump began his second term on Jan. 20, 2025, to at least $38 trillion by Oct. 23, 2025 — an increase in the neighborhood of $1.8 trillion in his first nine months.

President Donald Trump has reportedly spent about $71m in taxpayer-funded costs on golfing during his second term, and if his current pace continues, that total could reach $300m by the end of his term.
