I know facts have no place in Trump's world- but that's been disproved literally dozens of times already....but keep clinging to this factually incorrect straw man argument...
Hmm. Nope is has not been disproven. In fact, the Air Force has already taken steps to address the costs and the CEO of Boeing has gone on record that the costs will be cut.

you do realize the Bloomberg article states Trump had almost no idea what he's talking about when it came to costs or specs and then quotes the GAO as stating the new cost was independent of Trump???
Thesesmart CEO's let Daddy sit at the big boy table and then make some outlandish claim that can't be proven in turn for some $$$ or regulatory cuts...Trump is being played time and Time again....
Most of us would've done the same if given the chance. It's a free world. Let him enjoy his freedom.
He is not breaking any law.
Spending is good for our economy, it will circulate the money and create more jobs, and all that good stuff.
Srsly?
This is utterly ridiculous when I see the MANY tweets that Trump tweeted about Obama playing golf; again when he campaigned talking about how he would NEVER leave the White House because he would be working so hard.
Trump made it a HUGE issue when Obama was president. And now you want to give him a pass.
No.
Anyway, he happens to be HURTING the local economy every time he goes to his florida resort. Local business owners and homeowners are begging him to stay away.
It's a free country but pay for your own week-end trips.
A couple of vacations per year - that's reasonable to me. Every week-end? Not so much.
If the only standard we are holding our current President to is . . 'not breaking any law" then that is a mighty low bar.

don't forget they already said that he can't break the law b/c he's rich.....
It absolutely does. Secret Service is billed for staying at a president's property, so Trump is making bank off of his Mar-a-Lago trips and Melania's estrangement in NYC. Who do you think pays for that? Similarly, properties were built at Crawford and I assume Plains to house Secret Service officials.
Obama didn't return to Chicago for vacations because it wouldn't make sense in a densely urban neighborhood. We see why with Trump - his visits are absolutely decimating the economy around Mar-a-Lago and aren't exactly helping around Trump Tower in NYC either (although at least that's all foot traffic). The security needs and costs between Crawford and NYC or Florida are dramatically different.
Stop being such a hypocrite! Biden rented his servant's cottage to the secret service indefinitely while he was vice president. Do you even have a moral compass or are you out already on bail from rioting at a Trump rally?

But his travel is not free and he is not paying the costs, the US taxpayer is.
If tax payer can pay the cost of three hot meals a day, housing facility, health care, gym, Internet, library, laundry services, shower and rest room facilities, hot and cold water, clothing, and security for, RAPISTS, CHILD MOLESTORS, and CONVICTED KILLERS for decades in prisons then the tax payer can also pay for the elected president who has not broken any law by spending 100 and millions of dollars in travel or other legal expenses.
What's the big deal? Tax payer money is better spent on the president than on convicted criminals, IMO.
"In all eight years of President Barack Obama’s presidency, his travel, both personal and professional, amounted to a total of $97 million, according to Judicial Watch.
That puts Trump on track to surpass Obama’s travel spending over the course of two terms in about one year. At that rate, Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago alone would cost over $800 million in public funds if he remains in office for two terms."
