Some of the administrations cabinet has been censured for excessive travel expenses, but no one is saying anything about the bosses excessive travel bill. It costs $100,000 per MINUTE to move the President around, added to the million dollars a day for all the related costs. So far, it's been nearly every weekend, plus numerous trips for rally's and other non governance activities. While on those luxury weekend jaunts and rally's, the taxpayer is billed for housing the secret service detail, the Presidents staff, golf cart rental and all meals and related expenses. That's an average of $4,000,000 per trip.............which has a total price tag of around $220,000,000 so far...........which does not include official travel.
The American people own a mansion for P**********l use, complete with world class chefs, wait staff, butlers and other staff............all of whom sit idle drawing pay............while Trump wines and dines folks at the summer palace.
It isn't galling enough that the GOP, who's mantra has forever been "smaller government, less spending", has pushed us into a record deficit - they no longer complain when their King spends money like a Saudi Crown Prince. If Trump is so ashamed of the people's mansion, why doesn't he just quit and go back to the lifestyle he's accustomed to? The American people do NOT owe the little man extra perks. Donating his little paycheck - doesn't even cover the cost of fuel for ONE unnecessary trip.
Where did all the fiscally conservative Republicans go again?
It appears that the King has moved back to the sum... (

It didn't appear to bother you when Obama was doing the same, only more so. Why not?
