Also does this hits the same threshold of concern that you had with Obama?
By costing us you mean the roughly 55 percent of the population that actually pays the Federal Income tax?
taxation is theft.

a weekend at the "Winter White House" in Florida probably costs a whole lot less than a week in Hawaii.

You mean like Mrs Trump living in a separate residence, requiring separate security, and HAVING to take a separate plane to the same place her husband was going?

Since you're so salty about that one time Mrs Obama did it, I guess you're livid that this is going to happen everytime Mrs Trump has to meet her husband...

At least that would be the respectable and honest reaction.

Of course, there are things I like about trump, and hold on, don't stroke out on us, but there were things that obama did that I liked....

But, have you ever wondered how much it cost to us tax payers to house michelle's mother in the WH?

So, we can go back and forth, you thought you had me....next....

Yet you never cared about how much Barry and Michelle cost the taxpayers when they went on vacation with their entourage.

At least Trump is only getting paid $1/year.

So you think the cost to just house & accommodate Mrs. Obama's mother in the WH is comparable to the cost of staffing and securing an entirely different residence for the Mrs. Trump...

Because... follow me if you can... it was a F***ING STUPID ARGUMENT to make. Anyone that made that argument was an idiot. Anyone who thought we should penny pinch the cost of the First Family traveling in safety is a dumpster fire of a person.

And... keep following... that is still my position today. I don't care how much it costs to secure the First Family and make sure they're safe, even if it is the Trumps living in separate residences. B/c I am not an idiot.

The same can't be said for the mouth-breathers who made the costs that the Obamas incurred into a "scandal" and especially those same idiotic mouth-breathers who suddenly don't care anymore despite how much more Trump's set up will cost.

So tell us friend... did you care how much it cost to keep the Obama's safe?

Edit: Actually... now that I see you made a point comparing the trade-off between $400k/year vs multimillion costs of securing a second residence for the First Lady, it's pretty clear which side you were on.

Riiiight... suddenly it's classless to make threads about how much it costs to secure the First Family...
