    Trump 1st month of travel expenses cost tax payers $11 million ( Obama cost $12m a year)

    Hey dumb dumbs what will the excuse be for this? Fake news, evil media? Hillary did it or will it be Obama's fault?

    3 fucking trips have cost the tax payers $10 fucking million dollars the rest was his son's expenses.. This isn't even count the official WH business trips... Just Trump's weekend vacations and both his sons travel expenses..

    The three Mar-a-Lago trips in Palm Beach cost the federal treasury around $10m, based on figures used in an October government report analysing White House travel.

    Not even including the inauguration travel.. Trump's weekend trips to his Mar-a-Lago club and his sons business trips travel expenses have already cost tax payers 11.9 million dollars.

    Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month – almost as much as Obama’s cost in a year | The Independent


    added bonus... it costs the city of Palm Beach a ton of money as well..

    Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw also says it has cost local taxpayers $360,000 in police overtime for his three weekends in Florida since 20 January.

    The Post also revealed it cost $88,320 to put secret service agents up in a hotel while son Eric Trump visited Uruguay to promote a Trump-brand condo tower.

    It does not cost $10 million to take three trips.

    Imagine if Amazon or whoever wanted to take a bunch of employees on three business trips. Does that cost $10 million? Of course not.

    These numbers are being fudged somehow.

        Do you realize it's not just AF1 but also its escorted by military fighter jets everywhere it goes.

        Then there is everyone else who has to move around with him. Everytime he shows up they close a near by airport for the entire duration of Trump's visit..

        It's a lot of money for his weekly vacations.

        Of course as a good right winger always does, you know better than everyone else including the govt watch dog group who watches these sort of expenses.

        Amazon employees are not the potus aND the logistics isn't even close to the same.


        By the way there isn't even mention of how much it costs to usher the 1st lady all over hell in back because she lives in yet another location....

          How about a source with actual "proof" and not some right wing fake news blog with some tacos for BJ scandle on the front page..

          Did you even look at that website or did you just run to google to find a way to blame Obama?

          Don't answer I already know....

                It appears you didn't even read the article you posted dumb ass.

                The 100 Million was not travel expenses but money given to another country.. Ie what our govt does everyday..

                Damn you are a fucking idiot.

                    Not to mention this wasn't a fucking vacation but an official WH trip.. The cupcakes are fucking dumb as rocks..

                    Meanwhile the 11 million Trump has cost us his 1st month was 100% personal trips..Because he wants to fly to FL every weekend.

                    As I said that 11 million doesn't include official WH trips..

                      .....

                      what is inside head of your president ?

                      free analysis: guy's presidency and his programme is like nostalgic trip to his youth and childhood, where women were women and men were still men. except those fucking hippies of course.



                      is it ? or is not ?

                          You elected him as president and if he wants to fly to FL every weekend that's his business. Why you bitching?

                            I didn't elect him to shit.. neither did the majority of the people..


                            btw.. he went to Mar-a-Lago again his 4th weekend vacation in a single month..

                            Along with another $3.something million wasted dollars from the US treasury because Trump can't stay at the WH for a single fucking weekend..

                              I remember hearing conservatives bitch and bitch and bitch about Obama going to Hawaii once or twice a year on vacation and how we shouldn't have to pay for that. Suddenly, however, they don't seem to have a problem with paying for Trump to spend every weekend in Florida while also paying for Milania to live in New York and paying for his sons to fly all over the globe doing business for the family.

                                    OP makes a good point. its too bad the OP also has dumbdumb blinders & only trolls 1 side, rendering himself to whale-shit status.

                                    the reality of the situation is the president is entitled to open ended travel, at taxpayer expense. each president has a few abuses of the priveledge. the previous presidents wife was quite a globetrotter on taxpayer dime. as was obama, using air force one to campaign for hilary!

                                    but no threads from moron OP about that.

                                    because he is dumb as shit.

                                      Politico puts the cost of a weekend in Florida for Trump at about $3 million dollars. When the President travels about 300 people go with him. It is not cheap.

                                      Here is the story. As an aside, it has some fun quotes in it where Trump bashed Obama for the cost of him taking a few days off or traveling somewhere on vacation.

                                      Trump?s Mar-a-Lago getaway could cost taxpayers more than $3 million - POLITICO

                                          yes. OP makes a good point. Trump travel cost will be the most expensive ever, by far i predict.

                                          its not a political issue though. OP is just trolling for lulz. he's also a pile of shit because he makes it about 1 side, when its not.

                                          i myself am a budget hawk, would be happy to support restrictions on the perk.

Suddenly, however, they don't seem to have a problem with paying for Trump to spend every weekend in Florida while also paying for Milania to live in New York and paying for his sons to fly all over the globe doing business for the family.
                                                it's really fascinating to watch how people can do such a quick 180 without hurting themselves

                                                for 8 years everything Obama did was evil - now Trump does the same stuff but 10 times over and it's awesome

                                                    Ferus, while not outright defending it, played the age old trick of "the other guy did something worse."

                                                    I'm sure all three would have ripped Obama apart had he flown to Florida every weekend right after taking office.

                                                            has anybody mentioned yet that Trump actually makes money from Melania staying in New York? Cause he rents out part of his bulding to the secret service?

                                                            so not only the tax payer pays $500k a day to protect her - which is in 1 year twice as much as Obama cost in 8 years in total - Trumpy even pockets part of the taxpayers money.

                                                            but i guess that's ok cause he's a business man and makes good deals etc

                                                                Imagine if Amazon or whoever wanted to take a bunch of employees on three business trips. Does that cost $10 million? Of course not.

                                                                These numbers are being fudged somehow.
                                                                I bet it does really.

                                                                Let's just round it off and say three trips cost $9 million, so $3 million each.

                                                                Every time the President gets on a plane, how much does that cost? Before we answer that question, how many planes does it take? It's not a matter of Air Force One traveling to Florida. When the President travels, he takes Air Force One, a back up plane, a plane for his limo, a plane for Marine 1, and then a support plane. This is five planes. Then factor in 1-4 Air Force jets for protection, and now.... We are talking up to nine planes.

                                                                That's just planes. How much staff do you think it takes? Pilots, back up pilots, medical staff, presidential staff, cooks (Air Force One has a full kitchen), military staff, and god only knows how many Secret Service people. All of these people have to be fed and housed, and clearly Trump is not going to be giving any one free room and board.

                                                                Sometimes when the President of the United States travels.... He will take nearly 900 people with him, five planes, plus planes for protection, helicopters, limos, and forty-five other cars. When ever the President travels, it takes dozens of cars - for the White House staff, reporters, military staff, medical staff, and Secret Service.

                                                                So yes, it could quickly cost $3 million for a weekend for the President being on the road.

                                                                  Let's just round it off and say three trips cost $9 million, so $3 million each.

                                                                  Every time the President gets on a plane, how much does that cost? Before we answer that question, how many planes does it take? It's not a matter of Air Force One traveling to Florida. When the President travels, he takes Air Force One, a back up plane, a plane for his limo, a plane for Marine 1, and then a support plane. This is five planes. Then factor in 1-4 Air Force jets for protection, and now.... We are talking up to nine planes.

                                                                  That's just planes. How much staff do you think it takes? Pilots, back up pilots, medical staff, presidential staff, cooks (Air Force One has a full kitchen), military staff, and god only knows how many Secret Service people. All of these people have to be fed and housed, and clearly Trump is not going to be giving any one free room and board.

                                                                  Sometimes when the President of the United States travels....

Basically, wherever the President goes about 300 people go with him. It could be really easy to spend $3 million taking 300 people and everything that goes with them to Florida for a couple of days.

                                                                    lol

I think this should be illegal. Now we are also paying his transportation costs to visit his own business in Florida.

                                                                    No other President has received money directly from the government like this. Obama, Bush, and others, have received some improvements to their properties but these have been realistic, and do not directly put money in their pockets.

                                                                    I think Trump should be required to cough up such space for free.

Think of how many people that $14 million would of covered if just given to tax payers for health insurance. How many college kids could of had full ride scholarships to state colleges for that $14 million?

                                                                            But nope it's more important for Trump to fly to FL every weekend to entertain his club guests. Republicans not saying a word about this and all the other shit have shown they don't give a shit about this country, but rather only how much tax dollars they can steal.

                                                                            The guy needs to be locked up in prison and the rest of them need to be run out of Washington.
