Trump Has Wasted More Than $10 Million Taxpayer Dollars On 3 Straight Florida Vacations

President Trump's "campaign-style rally" is an excuse from the White House for Trump to spend his 3rd straight weekend in at his private club in Florida at a cost to taxpayers of $3 million. The total cost of Trump's weekends in Florida amounts to a bill of more than $10 million.

Are we great yet?

the amount of money we're going to end up spending on all this is going to be staggering, assuming he/they keep it up. keep in mind we're paying for his children's "business trips", as well...

 

[Cimorene]

Isn't it costing a fortune every day to protect Melania & Barron bc they decided to not live in the White House for now? So that + the vacations for him & his older kids.

His rallies are for is ego to keep him going since twitter put the negative posts near the top. Charge twitter for those as they caused him to have to go out to get praise to recharge him. He's an extrovert, I'm not. I understand it but its greek to me.

Americans were able to pay for the Obama presidency, and they will be able to pay for the Trump presidency too.
The expenses never change. What changes is the partisanship of those complaining.

since he's spent about as much in a month as President Obama spent in a year I'm thinking the price has indeed changed quite a bit.
tulc(notices once again: can't discuss President Trump without bringing up President Obama)

That's the truth and I think as far as vacations go the Obama's will go down in history as one of the the most lavish.

Hey, we shouldn't complain about what president Trump spends, after all,, he is getting rid of taxes, and just printing more money; So why worry about what he spends?!

 

[Mountainmanbob]

How about the billions and many jobs he has saved already.

Check your 401K.
Mine looks great since Trump got in.

Since he's done more work than Obama did in a year, I'd say he is worth it.

Not most lavish, but certainly the most Republican whined about. And to repeat: President Trump has spent in less then a month as much as President Obama spent in a year. With no end in sight.
tulc(would be interested in seeing someone justify this without them mentioning President Obama)

 

[tulc]

Still can't justify President Trump without talking about President Obama I see.
tulc(is more then willing to keep pointing this fact out as needed)

You are going to be ok.
We do have a hairless service dog available?

Weird thing is? Having or not having fur isn't an issue, it would have to be a skinless non breathing no feces producing dog or cat in order to not have trouble with it.

When you are going to point out flaws, always be prepared for apples to apples comparisons.
Such as:
How much work did Obama do during vacations, compared to how much Trump did on these weekend visits, and how much did it cost to close airports two times when Obama and his wife took separate jumbo jets just hours apart to the same location?

NPR is crying more about the inconvenience Trump is causing the locals than the cost. And local Democrat, Rep. Lois Frankel, basically said they don't want him there.

I suspect the two jets cost less then it costs to maintain two separate households in two different States. And neither the one in DC or the one in New York are where he goes to play golf every weekend. I'm still not seeing anything that actually supports President Trump in this, what I'm seeing is a whole lot of "SO'S YER MOM!" which isn't surprising: President Trump isn't giving his supporters much to work with. That must really sting, huh?
tulc(calculates 12 months of President Trump and family vacations at this rate for one year works out to $135,600,000)

Trump Has Wasted More Than $10 Million Taxpayer Dollars On 3 Straight Florida Vacations

Are we great yet?
tulc(is just curious)

But I do know that his Melbourne Florida rally that the money has came from his campaign fund. It sort of did came from the tax-payers. But that was given to him to support his campaign. Well gosh, he can really save. I would of have spent that all up in one day.
And so I doesn't know is the money that he used from his campaign fund that was used for the rally is included.

Do you have a link about him using his own money to pay to fly Air Force One down to Florida?
tulc(would be interested in seeing that)
