This denoted the seventh end of the week that President Trump spent at what he has come to call the “Winter White House” since taking office on Jan. 20. It is evaluated that each of the president’s treks to Mar-a-Lago costs citizens around $3 million. Implying that since taking office, Trump has effectively spent around $21 million in citizen money for his end of the week voyages, which additionally twofold as awesome ads for his Trump-marked properties.

Conversely, President Obama’s travel was assessed to have taken a toll citizens somewhere close to $85 million and $96 million, as per Public Citizen, a dynamic support aggregate. Considering the most noteworthy gauge, that would convert into $12 million every year.

In the event that Trump keeps up the present pace of treks, he could burn through $60 million in citizen money exclusively to visit Mar-a-Lago this year. Also, obviously, that doesn’t verge on evaluating the full cost of securing the president and his family. The most evident extra cost includes first woman Melania Trump and child Barron, who are remaining in New York in any event until September.

Good grief. The old post office is just down the street from the WH. Trump can hardly leave the WH without going past it.

And I don't believe the 0bama spending is fairly accounted for.

Do you recall his huge expedition to India? He took the entire White House, rented three entire luxury hotels in India. He had the Navy send about 1/4 of all our naval ships to cruise around off the coast of India while he was there.

Good points. Plus, don't forget the times Obutthole & Michelle took separate planes. and the times the dog took a separate plane. Not to mention they both took 2 or 3 vacations each month.

And they started their tenure by flying Air Force One down to NYC just so they could take photos of it with the Statue of Liberty and NYC in the background. That little photo op cost $400,000 as I recall.

So what? That doesn't justify him pissing away taxpayer dollars to fly to Florida on weekends. He is our President,not our King.
