correct. that salary is $400,000 a year. each trip to mar-a-lago costs $3million plus.
judicial watch, the conservative watchdog group, estimate the obama family vacations cost between $85-90million for the entire 8years. if trump continues at the current rate he'll hit that mark in less than 7months into office.
did you ever complain about 85-90 mil for 8 years? That's a pile of taxpayer money for presidential family vacations. you act like that was a good deal. lol
you aren't complaining about the cost to taxpayer in absolute terms, only that Trump is spending more than Obama. your assumption is that what Obama was the norm. whatever Obama spent on vacations = the right amount. that demostrates that you are being political, not principled.
From my understanding, the same problem is occurring due to his wife and child remaining in NYC. They need to either move to the WH or not be provided with protection and allow Trump to hire private security for them.
More wasted money.
I cannot begrudge Melania this one since she is planning to move to the WH once Barron's school vacation begins, I think. Let the boy finish his school year with his friends in the school he is familiar with. If the arrangement continues beyond that then Trump needs to pay.
ok. i don't think you have backed this up with anything. i see you are getting this off far left websites like Daily Kos. get this, nobody is going to take a Trump hater's word for it.
it doesn't make much sense it costs that much money to fly down to Florida and he is staying at his own house while there.
I can't tell if you are being serious or just very naive.
The tax payers pay $3 million per weekend for Trump to go down. This article was posted before Trump left for his weekend away:
did you ever complain about 85-90 mil for 8 years?
no, nor did i complain about the costs of the bush family vacations. neither seemed excessive given the pragmatic realities of protecting the POTUS and family.

at a rate currently projected to be more than 10x that of the obamas. yes, i find that excessive.

Instead of having a conversation or doing a bit of research, they keep saying the same thing over and over again.
If you are to gain a better understanding of both sides of controversial issues, it is helpful to realize that while some on this forum are able to hold their own in a discussion, others are simply not able to engage in any sort of meaningful dialogue.
The posts of this second ground are easy to identify after a while. Often they are little more than repeating wild accusations that they've heard somewhere else. They recite the same nonsense over and over and over.
You never did. Campaigning using AF 1 is paid for by the campaign.
Now that does not mean they can't wrangle a stop on the way. Like Trump is visiting a school in Orlando so he may as well just go on down the road, a little.
Hillary's campaign reimbursed the treasury, for Obama campaigning for her on our dime?
When the president-elect’s son Eric Trump jetted to Uruguay in early January for a Trump Organization promotional trip, U.S. taxpayers were left footing a bill of nearly $100,000 in hotel rooms for Secret Service and embassy staff.
This is the thing, the hotel rooms are not usually given to the secret service and other staff for free.
