Maybe it's the logical result of electing a guy who has been involved in multiple bankruptcies?

And maybe it's the logical result of electing a guy whose mindset is always in terms of profit? He probably regards the Presidency as just a better avenue to enrich himself - in this case, by making the country pick up his tabs.

I'm glad you brought that up.

And he saved the US Taxpayer $1B on a replacement AF1. A travel cost that Obama was apparently not concerned about.

So he's far far far far far ahead of Obama in costs related to travel.

I would have thought you guys might have figured this out by now.

In Palm Beach, that increased cost is coupled with reduced tax revenue as Trump puts his neighbors out of business.
And he is not taking Trump Shuttle flights from Dulles or Reagan either.

I know facts have no place in Trump's world- but that's been disproved literally dozens of times already....but keep clinging to this factually incorrect straw man argument...

That doesn't give him a "credit". And that figure has not been confirmed.

Trump claims he saved a billion dollars on Air Force One. The military don't know what he's talking about | The Independent

Accoridng to tRump in his hate-tweets aimed at Obama, the correct answer is:

Less than Obama.

tRump is such a wimpnoodle.

But an amusing and self-defeating one.

But that didn't include any pictures. And it requires lots of reading with big (> 6 letters) words.
