During a day trip to Toronto last year, Melania Trump spent about $174,000 in hotel bills, Quartz reported.

Though the First Lady did not spend the night, federal spending records show six separate hotel charges that added up to eight times what it cost to house the team who traveled with her, the news source reported.

Trumps schedule on Sept. 23, 2017, showed that the trip spanned about 12 hours: She arrived in Toronto around noon, met with Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau around 6:30 p.m., and left just after midnight, Quartz reported.

White House representatives did not immediately return Fortunes request for comment.

The high-priced trip isnt the first time Melania Trump has been scrutinized for spending tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars on hotels she didnt sleep in.

Earlier this month, Quartz reported that during an October trip to Cairo, the first lady racked up $95,000 in hotel charges. She stayed for six hours and didnt stay the night then, either, the news agency reports.

President Donald Trump and his family have been criticized for their spending, including many weekend getaways for the president. In his first 80 days, Donald Trump spent $20 million on travel, a trend that put him on track to outspend his predecessors eight-year travel budget in one year. In the first six months of Trumps presidency, Melania Trump remained in New York while their son Barron finished school, which led to more than $675,000 spent on Air Force One trips.

Obama bombed a hospital killing dozens of innocents. Also made deals with terrorists in unmarked planes. Also tried to give a state sponsor of terror nukes. And they acted ever so unexpectedly about it /s.

And Trump wouldn't shut up about costs that it took for the Obama's to travel. Now each individual member of his entire family will have cost more than the entire Obama family combined.

https://qz.com/1465202/melania-trump-racked-up-a-174000-hotel-bill-during-a-one-day-trip-to-toronto/

in addition to the hotel charges, the first ladys trip involved $21,000 in transportation costs.


The previous first lady, Michelle Obama, spent $18,320 on transportation over 10 days in Copenhagen, Denmark, during a 2009 trip that included speeches and meetings to push for Chicago to be the site of the 2016 Olympic Games. Her two-day visit to Chengdu, China, in 2014 cost over $220,000 in hotel bills, the Weekly Standard reported then. The figure included expenses for her advance team, communications staff, and security.

There really needs to be some accountability here. What is this money being spent on? And how many orgasms did Trudeau give her?

She has said that she 'cares' for the children but 'needs' help. If she needs help, why did she have them? I know lots of mothers who have more kids than her, do more than her, and do not have nannies or 'help.'

well when they stay at (or pay for them and then not stay there because apparently that's also a thing) Trump owned establishments across the world...that's exactly what's happening. Nothing goes out of Trump's pockets but the tax payer money being used goes into their pockets...And yes, its not ALWAYS the case, but it does happen and its just odd that that is considered ok, or a loophole is being used to allow it...
