On State business the tax payer picks up the bill.
Here's an EASY solution: STOP GOING TO FLORIDA EVERY WEEKEND

I would imagine some of the money that Trump is spending to go down to his resort, goes back to him. The Secret Service must pay for their own rooms, food, etc. at Mar-a-lago.

How can you not have a problem with that?
i don't your facts are right. i think Obama spent a record amount of money on vacations. he and his wife would take separate flights out to California, Hawaii, etc.

Trump also isn't taking a salary, which you ignore because it doesn't fit your liberal narrative. again, liberals never care about the cost of things and yo usupported a president who doubled our national debt in 8 years.

I'm not a Democrat, but I do oppose Trump.

I also care about wasting taxpayer money. I'd rather mine go to repairing roads, paying law enforcement officers, teachers, and better benefits for veterans than funneled into an endless pit of money for Trump to spend on a lavish lifestyle.

What is this? A presidency or a monarchy? Frankly, the monarchs in England are less frivolous.

Question: If you could take that money he blows on vacations every weekend and give it to the people in the Rust Belt who have no jobs so they can take some college classes to get educated for new careers or put food on their tables, which would you pick?

I know what I'd pick. I'd take care of the Rust Belt.

I don't begrudge any President an occasional vacation. Once every few months take a week off, maybe one weekend a month a quick trip someplace close by.

But, come on. This is ridiculous.

Here's the comparison, unless you think Forbes is in the business of fake news.

I believe "The Donald" has it handled way better than Hillary would have to this point. We would be digging holes and lining them with cement and lead, to crawl into, as we po'ed Russia.
Not sure what she has to do with this. She's not president and she and Bill did not spend money like this while he was in office, so we have a VERY good example of how she might spend money and take vacations.

Infrequently and NOT much.

Lol. The salary for the next 4 years covers....a day of his vacation. What nonsense. It played to his base.

He makes more renting places out to the secret service.

it is funny that people who supported Obama are acting like spendthrifts on here given OBama doubled the national debt and wasted a lot of money.
Who cares about 400,000 dollars? The man spends 3 million every time he travels to Florida.

He already got that paycheck.

Know why he didn't want it? Tax records.

LOL.

He doesn't have to report what we pay for, only the salary he makes.

I am really amazed that more people don't get that him refusing a salary was a calculated move, not him saving any of us money.

I'd rather he took the 400k, moved his family to the WH, and took occasional vacations like all the other presidents.
