This again? How many times is a Trump supporter going to bring up Obama's vacations, when it's already been proven by conservative watchdog groups that Trump has cost us more in 2 months than Obama spent in 2 years.

When he takes a weekend trip to Mar-a-Lago the estimated cost is $3 million. Not even considering the cost to protect his family, those trips alone add up to more in one year than all of Obama's vacations in 8, which is estimated to be around $90 to $95 million.

These facts have been posted several times, but it's as if there's an automatic response to any criticism of Trump. "Hillary did..." "Obama did..."

That's because they have no other defense.

you keep posting this over numerous topics, so i'll say again; do you think posting gibberish like this makes you seem smart? Or do you prefer for people to see how little you understand about the world around you?

I'm sorry did you just wake up from an 8 year coma perhaps?

as i have stated in the past, the security of the president AND their families is paramount. we need to protect them regardless of our feeling towards them.

Do you have an answer how it costs 3.6 million to go to Florida? The pilot and security are getting paid whether he goes to Florida or not.

Haven't you learned already that FACTS do not matter to Trump worshipers? The National Guard patrols the waterways around the resort which is an added cost. It's also not a secure location like Camp David, and Trump dines in the same restaurant as numerous golf club members. Have all of them been vetted carefully? Then there's Trump Tower in New York which is also a place of business where people shop and Starbucks customers sip coffee. All of those people need to be monitored, elevators need to be secured, etc.

Let the liberals pay for it. They are the ones we are protecting Trump from. Raise taxes on New York Times subscriptions. .

A million a day... come on dude. There's maybe 20 extra employees there. And that's being generous... so they each make 50k per day?

National Guard pays their people either way. Doesn't matter if Trump is there or not.
