US President Donald Trump spends his 17-day so-called working holiday at his posh golf club Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Trump bought it in 2002 year from car owner John Deloren for $ 35 million, reports NBC.
Trump opened this golf club with an area of 216 hectares in 2004 year.
Membership costs up to 350 thousand dollars a year, the club is considered one of the best in the United States. In this club, in the 2017 year, the US Open Women's Championship was held, attended by Trump, becoming the first US President to attend a similar event.
In addition, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner celebrated their wedding there. After being elected, Trump conducted interviews with potential candidates for his Cabinet at the golf club.
The club houses the Trump private villa.
Bedminster is a small town with a population of only 9 thousand people, and law and order is ensured by 16 police officers.
Therefore, the arrival of the president here is a significant event, and the Secret Service uses additional funds to protect the head of state in this city, which in total may amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
American presidents often use August for holidays, since this month Congress does not meet. But Trump does not like to stay the White House much more than his predecessors. 58 from his first 195 days in the office he spent not in the presidential residence, but in the clubs and villas belonging to him. Most of them were held either in Bedminster or in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
