{shrug} Obama sent $1.7 billion in cash to Iran. Get back to me when Trump's travel exceeds that.

I was curious about this about the dog so looked it up. It's apparently a lie. The dog did fly separately from the family, but it was not alone, not a flight just for the dog. There were other passengers, and the dog was there, too.

This would be a good question to ask Joe Biden.

The exact amounts are hard to come by, but what is known is jaw-dropping. In a one-month period in early 2017, the president spent $13.6 million on just four trips to his Mar-a-Lago property in South Florida, according to estimates by the Government Accountability Office. That’s an average of $3.4 million per trip — at minimum.
How is this good for our country?

At $3.4 million per trip, it's possible he already has.

Both parties do just this but Trump does seem to get a free pass on whatever he does/says, conservatives don’t care that they are being hypocrites in fact I think they enjoy it.

Sorry - where did I say anything about a crime here?

This is just an example of his hypocrisy and flagrant waste of taxpayer money used for his own purposes. Something can be disgraceful without being criminal, although Trump is known for both.

Trump spends the taxpayer's money like a drunken sailor.

What's different this time in particular is how much Trump himself said he would not be doing that and criticizing past presidents for doing so.
