Pence's Ireland Trip Costs $3.6 Million with Detour to Trump Property

| Importance: 5/10 | Status: confirmed

Vice President Mike Pence’s September 2019 stay at Trump Doonbeg in Ireland cost taxpayers $3.6 million total, requiring a 181-mile detour from Dublin meetings. Pence flew across Ireland to stay at Trump’s golf resort rather than in Dublin where his official meetings occurred. The unnecessary detour enriched Trump’s struggling Irish property while violating domestic emoluments principles through excessive taxpayer expenditure at presidential properties.
