President Biden's getaways to his Delaware beach home have cost taxpayers roughly $3million only for the Secret Service, according to the service's expense records.

The record noted that Biden's security detail spent $1.96million across the 16 trips he's taken to Delaware in 2021 thus far, The New York Post reported.

Although, an additional nine trips have yet to be accounted for and are assessed to bring the total to the shocking amount of $3million.

The expensive figure reflects the president's 25 trips in only 43 weeks in office, which equates to 77 days - expenses that far surpass the $2.4million in Secret Service costs spent to defend Donald Trump throughout the 99 days he spent at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, throughout his four-year presidency.

The $2.4million does not include Trump's usual trips to his Florida home, Mar a Lago, where the then-president racked up a $13.7million taxpayer bill in only four trips in early February 2017. Trump's golf trips are estimated to have cost the taxpayer, in total, nearly $150million.

Biden's documented expenses accounted for hotels and rental cars for Secret Service agents, plus airfare and train tickets for them to get to Delaware.

Though, the actual cost to taxpayers is even higher because the Pentagon has yet to unveil Biden's transportation expenses.

In 2020, the mission reimbursable rate for Air Force One, including fuel, flight consumables, aircraft overhaul, and engine overhaul, cost a monstrous $176,393 per hour, "What they may not realize is that they're paying insane amounts of money for him to be tucked into bed in Delaware every weekend."

Yet, although Trump's Secret Service tab was less than Biden's, the ex-president's costs rose for other agencies.

The four times Trump stayed at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida in early 2017 cost taxpayers $13.6million - $10.6million of which was spent on official aircrafts and boats, according to The Post.

Each Trump trip set the Coast Guard back roughly $1million.

Meanwhile, Tom Fitton, the President of Judicial Watch, which got the expense records under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), stressed that "the costs of presidential travel and security is of obvious public interest."

Though, he further recognized that they're incomplete. "It is frustrating that after years of litigation through two presidential administrations, the Secret Service and Air Force are still stonewalling the costs of presidential travel," Fitton stated.

Biden has visited his home in Wilmington, Delaware, 22 times and his Rehoboth Beach house - 100miles from Wilmington - three times, where the president, First Lady Jill Biden, and their German Shepherd Major are often caught bike riding or walking along the beach.
