$3 Million a weekend for The Donald to vacation in Florida.
That's $182 Million per year for Melania, plus costs (motorcade, plane, security) to fly her back and forth to DC.
Donald seems to need a break from work every weekend, so that's $156 Million a year for his vacations.
Plus the family vacations when weekend vacations become too tiring.
Net/Net, we could easily spend a Half Billion dollars per year ensuring that the First Family is well rested.
In terms of perspective, that's 10,000 jobs for the little people at $50,000 per year.
Oh, I forgot, in a hugely magnanimous jesture (pun intended), the Donald is foregoing his $400,000 annual salary, so the total cost to vacation the first family per year is really only $499, 600,000. Reduce the jobs implied by eight!
I vaguely remember some outcry about how much Obama spent when he traveled for work/vacation. I was hoping one of those vocal posters could update us with the price tag for President Trump's travels, since it was obviously very important with the last President.
Also does this hits the same threshold of concern that you had with Obama?
Donald Trump is a working president. He wants to work and he doesn't want to travel much unless it's about business. And, no, he's not going to do anything wasteful with our taxpayer money, unlike the bozo that preceded him who did.

The funny thing is that you posted this as a serious post, and not as satire.

The same liberals snowflakes who cried about the death threats against Obama are the same nut jobs who have threatened Trump more in a month than Obama in a year.
You realize that these people griped about Obama for 8 years, right?
How he took so many vacations (even though he took far less than Bush) and how he cost the taxpayers SOOOOO much money...
I think Trump and his clan of trust funders are in line to cost more in 6 months than the Obamas cost in 8 years.
So, yeah... it may come up frequently in conversation.
Correct. I'm give him about 3 months to catch up to Obama's 8 years worth of vacations, especially considering Melania and Barron don't live with him and are constantly flying across the country to meet him.
