How many millions blown is that? Can't he just hang out closer to home somewheres? How is there no limit to the amount of travel expenses a president uses up? Everyone else is the country have to watch their expenses outside government
Guess he's not too worried about Seniors Meals on Wheels, he could donate the cash spent on his country vacation home visits to funding the federal portion of Meals on Wheels....
Can we afford this President for a whole 4 years?
We arent even 4 months in!!!!

I'd say right now they are at $12 million just for the Fla trips. God knows what Melania's NYC lifestyle is costing--many millions more. Then there are the kid's trips with the entourages and SS guys. And this is only week eight. Maybe a math wiz could jump in and give the calculation for what the Royal Trumps will cost for 4 years. I don't think the US can afford them.
But it's ok. All of the lower income voters of his don't mind at all, even as he strips them of their health care, health insurance and benefits.
Don't forget - in the famous words of Trump - "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot people, and they would still vote for me." Probably the only thing he hasn't lied about.

Hard to say, but since it is only about an hour flight (give or take a few minutes) to Palm Beach, or New York from D.C. I'd say Trump could shuttle himself back and forth to either place several dozen times before it would equal the expense of 0bama flying out to golf in Hawaii just once.
What's good for the goose.......If 0bama got a pass from you, so should Trump.

Did Obama have two separate residences? And weekly vacation home visits(3rd home)?
I don't know of any other presidents who in effect are charging taxpayers for their trips to their residencies at THREE separate homes for the duration of their presidencies?!

The cost isn't the jet fuel. The cost is everything else associated with the travel which is generally on the ground so it wouldn't matter if he was flying to Florida or to California or to Hawaii.

Trump saved over 500 million just on the air force one deal. Plus the F-35 contracts. Camp David is too rustic for a winner like our president. Besides the liberal media always over blows how much his security costs.
Let Trump focus on border crossings down 40 percent... ISIS is almost gone... national debt is dropping...taxes will drop and there hasn't been a mass shooting since Nov 8.... Let CNN talk about wiretapping and Mar a Lago, while Trump focuses on keeping his promises and teaching Republicans how to win.
He won't stop doing this until the hottest part of summertime. It'll be too hot then and he'll start going to NYC more often or he'll travel to more exotic places.
Or, he'll hang close to the White House and claim he's trying to be fiscally conservative.
