Current Events > Donald Trumps Lifestyle Could Cost Taxpayers Nearly $1 Billion

(+) Yeah! (+)

these trips have cost roughly $21.6 million. (That number does not include the substantial sums the Secret Service spends to protect the president’s children when they travel overseas for business trips, as Eric Trump did in January when he flew to Uruguay to promote the Trump Organization. Nor does it include the unknown cost to taxpayers when nearly 100 Secret Service agents escorted the president’s extended family on a spring break trip to Aspen last month.)

In all eight years of President Barack Obama’s presidency, his travel, both personal and professional, amounted to a total of $97 million, according to Judicial Watch. That puts Trump on track to surpass Obama’s travel spending over the course of two terms in about one year. At that rate, Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago alone would cost over $800 million in public funds if he remains in office for two terms.

I'm sick of winning!

Calling absolute bullshit on that 97$ million dollars figure.

No fucking way it cost that little for all his golf trips, visits to foreign countries etc.

Not even defending Trump. The Mars a Lago trips should stop. I just don't believe that 97 mil figure at all.

They marched over fiscal responsibility. Figured they'd do it again when an even bigger spender is in office. What's the difference between Obama and Trump that would make someone upset at Obama's level of spending and not Trump's?

Isn't there some fucking cap on this? Like can he just spend as much as he wants on trips and golfing and sending his family around to do whatever?

Trump voters got cucked! Sad!

my guess would be there isnt. the only thing preventing it is the press and possible fallout politically.

There's no cap because we've largely relied on the president being reasonable

He can get them in for free if he really wanted to as well.
