Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense

Cosmo · Feb 17, 2017

Barely a month into the Trump presidency, the unusually elaborate lifestyle of America’s new first family is straining the Secret Service and security officials, stirring financial and logistical concerns in several local communities, and costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents — a price tag that, based on past assessments of presidential travel and security costs, could balloon into the hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term.

No worries - Soon winter will be over, and no more "winter Whitehouse".

Winter has little to do with it.

We're just lucky Obama didn't take frequent weekend trips to KENYA!

Sophomoric

"Donald Trump’s family’s trips have cost taxpayers nearly as much in a month as Barack Obama’s cost in an entire year.

The US President’s three visits to his Mar-a-Lago*club*in Florida since his presidential inauguration, combined with his sons’ business trips, reportedly cost $11.3m (£9.1m).
Conservative watchdog Judicial Watch estimated Mr Obama’s travel expenses totaled an average $12.1m in each of his eight years in the White House."
Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month ? almost as much as Obama?s cost in a year | The Independent

I suppose we should not be surprised by some Fat Cat acting like a Fat Cat.....I just wish we didn't have to pay for it.

Only because the "optics" of going to Kenya would have been horrific! (i.e. NEVER would have gotten re-elected).

Lower only because he really had no place to go. Had you compared more realistically (i.e. several normal/other Presidents) such a difference would NOT be apparent.

OMFG are you seriously this mentally challenged.

Guess what little Augie...Obama was not a Kenyan/Communist/Dog Eating/Granny killing/Muslim and his wife is not a transvestite. That you believe this crap indicates you are either extremely ignorant or purposefully avoiding fact in preference of the "Alternative Fact" your man crush prefers.

I do not mean to be rude but, this stupidity is not attractive and that so much of our population exhibits it is disheartening.

Trump's "lifestyle" is a NIGHTMARE . . . period!

The one good thing about him is that the loathsome nature of the billionaire class is finally being displayed openly in the person of Trump --- narcissistic, sociopathic and overly-entitled.

Four or, even better eight, years of Trump should result in GHW Bush's prediction coming true: that if people really knew what his class was really like, they would be chasing them down the streets with pitchforks!

"Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched."

Sarah McClendon in December 1992

....snip....FAKE news is nothing new. It has lately become so EXTREME , that there was no way to hide what it really is! :o[/QUOTE]

I find it unfortunate that you have taken the "Fake News" fakeness to heart when most of this "Fake News" is so easily shown to be accurate news.

Truly, it would seem our population has become rather easily fooled.
