The bozo has his own plane that he's been riding in for years.

C'mon, tRump. Be a man.

He's well worth it!

The Secret Service wanted an additional $60million in funding for the next fiscal year in order to cover the expenses associated with protecting the Trump family but was turned down, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
Half of the sum was earmarked toward security for President Donald Trump’s family as well as his private residence at Trump Tower in New York, while the other half would go towards travel costs accrued by Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, and other visiting heads of state.

It's true isn't it? Yes it is. Citizens of this country aren't here to subsidize you or anyone else. If you have problems traveling ****ing move. You should have never moved there to begin with if it is such a burden for you. This is what I don't get, people make choices, then complain that they need someone to do something for them because they made the wrong ones.

Damn. With less Amtrak access, less ability to fly, people in many rural areas are going to be stranded, unless they want to drive 400 miles to the nearest city.

Imagine the hassle for someone wanting to go from Aberdeen, South Dakota to Tanzania.

He saved a billion on the replacement for AF1. So still far far far far far far ahead of Obama.

And Mooch loved to waste AF1 on shopping trips around the world.
