The Donald has almost matched in 11 months. On pace to match that each year for his only term if he lasts that long.

It cost American taxpayers $98 million over 8 years for Secret Service protection for vacations. Obama averaged 41 rounds of Golf per year. So who is the better steward of the people's money?
