All this proves is that the WH needs a hard travel budget. $x for vacations and $x for official business that is adjusted for inflation each year. Exceptions are only made during times of declared war or national emergency.
$20 million this year so far makes it look like Trump's vacation budget will be less than $85 million per year... rather than over the course of 8 years.

Yet the above article quotes that Obama's vacations costs were a total of $85 million.
How did he spend $100 million in one trip when $85 million was 8 years?

This tit for tat is just dumb.
Agreed. I hate this "IT'S OKAY FOR MY POLITICIAN TO SPEND FRIVOLOUSLY BUT NOT YOURS" malarkey.

Exactly. But it is clear IF Trump continues at this pace -- his budget will be as much as the last two Presidents -- both of who were in office for 8 years each --
Which Africa trip are you refering to that Michelle made?
Her latest one with Barbara Streisand where they starting discussions about girls staying in school in rural and openly hostile nations that afford women zero rights?
Was that the trip where Michelle did some assumed work?
Trump is commuting to Mar-A-Lago every week, these are not trips to foreign countries, who knows maybe he will at some point leave the US on official business, until then keep trying.
