AF1 flights to Mar-a-Lago: $59,110,000
Trump AF1 flight expenses are not paid to Trump properties. If he were to go to non-Trump golf courses, it would still cost the government flight expenses. Wherever the Trump or any other President goes with AF1, it would cost the government. Other Presidents used AF1 to go to golf courses. This is not some peculiar Trump expense.
AF1 flights to Bedminster: $23,515,500

Costs to Bedminster, Palm Beach*: $23,069,405
I don't know what this cost is and it probably would be a similar cost at a non-Trump location and past presidents would have incurred similar costs.
Cost to guard coast off Mar-a-Lago: $29,972,000
Trump does not financially profit from Coast Guard expenses and any other President would incur such Coast Guard expenses if they played at Mar-a-lago or any other seaside or Coast Guard protected area golf courses.
Luxury car rental in Turnberry, Scotland: $1,260,139
Car rentals in Turnberry are not owned by Trump.
Any other president playing there or anywhere else in Scotland would create similar car rental costs.
Cost of stay at Trump Turnberry, Scotland: $68,800
Total cost of staying in Doonberg, Ireland: $3,600,000
Total Cost: $140,595,844
So, of the $140,595,844 expenses only $3,668.800 (with a possible added $23,069,405 for Bedminster whatever that is) went to Trump properties, and if non-Trump properties had been chosen, similar costs would have occurred. And any other president would have created similar costs for golfing in Scotland and Ireland.
