More wasted money.
It costs I think $1 million per day to protect Melania in NYC, and $3 million a day every time Trump goes to Mar-A-Lago,

Trump has already spent more in travel expenses in 1 month than Obama spent in an entire year.

At least Bush had the decency to be out in the middle of nowhere in Texas at his ranch that prevented such issues. The people there said the trips didn't upset their lives.

I wonder what airport Trump flies into. Hopefully there is a military one close by being used.

White House, Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago. Oh my.

The adult children recieve SS protection 24/7 when in the US and as they globe trot for their private business interests.

Won't be too long before Judicial Watch uses FOIA to begin pulling costs which will not include municipal costs.

Honestly, it's a real pain in the ass when he visits Mar-a-Lago. I am right on the other side of the bridge and traffic snarls to a stop. It also costs the county money. He always seems to want to arrive during rush hour too. They need to build a helicopter pad so he can fly there and let us folks go about our business in peace. We aren't set up for this like DC.

Which airport does he fly into?

Palm Beach International.

It also impacts arrivals/ departure and business as a close by smaller airport.

While Palm Beach seems to be enjoying the publicity, real people are loosing business and being seriously inconvenienced.

If he were going there occasionally it might be another story but this is what - four weekends out of five?

Once the weather warms up the story is that he'll be weekending in his NJ house, so things should get better for FL and worse for NJ. He hasn't been back to NYC since the inauguration, supposedly because he knows big protests await.

That is completely unreasonable. It messes up flights for people that must make connections, it messes up flight plans, it causes delays at other airports, it sucks funds from that facility I'm sure aren't properly reimbursed, it causes delays going to and coming from the airport, etc, etc.

Once every couple of months is one thing, but this is seriously out of control.

The vanity.

This is the height of hypocrisy as he was always criticizing BO, a real President, for his playing golf. This guy has now spent almost as much time at Mar a Lago as he has at the WH. I'm sure when it warms up he'll start spending his weekends at his other private club in New Jersey.

The cost of all these trips coupled with keeping Melania safely tucked in at Trump Tower, and the security detail costs associated with keeping Eric and Don safe, while they travel the globe making money, is going to cost more in less than a year than the whole eight years of BO's time in office.

Really fiscally prudent Donny!

Yep, I see you live here in Florida too, so you know firsthand what an idiot Scott is. He is a boot licker of the first degree. He is a perfect cheerleader for Trump and I bet he has an autographed picture hanging over his bed of the two of them together.
