ABSOLUTELY YES.

In fact, by every right wing media source as well as TRUMP himself!!!

Apparently not a drop in the bucket since we can't even afford Meals on Wheels or the Arts. Obama never spent anywhere near what Trump is spending. Stop deflecting.

Unbelievable! Donald Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago cost about $3.6 million per trip!

It isn't just Trump and his wife and their son Barron.

We have to provide security for his other 2 sons their wives and Donald Jr's 5 children. Also, Ivanka, her husband and their three children. Oh let's not for get Trump's after thought, his daughter Tiffany.

It is a boatload of money. No he isn't worth it and we need to tighten our belts.

He needs to stop going to Mar a Lago darn near every weekend. He can play golf at Andrews AFB.

The kids do a lot of traveling. Ivanka is skiing in Aspen, Donny Jr. is all over the country and world, Eric is all over the world. I don't think they've ever had to cover a group of wealthy people who travel all over.

If they were a patriotic bunch, Trump would contribute to this. This money is above and beyond what the taxpayers owe the first family, and this family is extremely extravagant and doesn't seem to care what it costs the country and cities where they live and go. Melania should move to DC and Trump should use Camp David rather than the resort.

Really--how about a sacrifice or two from the royal family. We are not a monarchy.

Let the liberals pay for it. The secret service is protecting Trump from liberals. I say we raise taxes on New York Times subscriptions.

It's pretty clear you are not in touch with reality. BTW - how much do you think Obama's trips were then?
