I vaguely remember some outcry about how much Obama spent when he traveled for work/vacation. I was hoping one of those vocal posters could update us with the price tag for President Trump's travels, since it was obviously very important with the last President.

Also does this hits the same threshold of concern that you had with Obama?

Are you aware that he is giving up his salary? Move along.

You mean his $400k salary in exchange for a trip that cost around $3M? I'm not a mathematician, but that doesn't seem to balance out...

No he isn't, he's not allowed to legally. And seeing as he's stealing billions from taxpayers, that means nothing. You guys are so out of touch with reality.

Did you guys give up attacking Obama? No. So don't expect us to, since we actually have legitimate reasons to attack Trump and his minions of idiots.

Trump isn't giving up his salary, and he's directly taking taxpayer money in numerous other ways, so it's meaningless.

You realize that these people griped about Obama for 8 years, right?

How he took so many vacations (even though he took far less than Bush) and how he cost the taxpayers SOOOOO much money...

I think Trump and his clan of trust funders are in line to cost more in 6 months than the Obamas cost in 8 years.

So, yeah... it may come up frequently in conversation.

A president's salary for the entire year pays for less than 1 day of security for Melania and Barron Trump in NYC.

His sacrifice brings tears to my eyes. Profile in courage.
