Remember when Republicans went nuts when Michelle Obama took their girls to Spain?

Melania Trump Spent Almost $100,000 at a Hotel She Never Slept In

For an Africa trip rife with colonial imagery, this somehow feels right.

Melania Trump’s October trip to Africa may never stop being controversial. According to federal spending records, Trump’s hotel bill during her stop in Cairo cost taxpayers $95,050—even though, as spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told Quartz, Trump did not even stay overnight at the InterContinental Semiramis hotel and was only in Cairo for six hours.

snip....

In an hour-long ABC News interview filmed during the Africa trip, Trump insisted that people should be more focused on what she does rather than what she wears, in one of her few statements of actual substance. Does racking up a $95,000 hotel bill for no discernible reason count?

1. This Has Such A Whiff

Did she pocket the change from $699. the cost of the presidential suite. It's unbelievable how he and his are squandering our treasury.

2. The Trump crime family is using our Treasury like their personal ATM

3. What did she buy?

[Docreed2003]

4. So a hundred K for a changing room, maybe a nap?

That's the only two things I can come up with for spending on a room you don't stay in

8. +1

9. But it's Egyptian cotton!

[Docreed2003]

10. That does make for a nice nap!!

[gopiscrap]

18. and a male hooker

20. ....

5. SHE. DOESN'T. DO.

ANYTHING.. There is nothing to focus on.

11. Be. Best.

At grifting.

[usaf-vet]

12. She was the bagman who did she pay off to keep their mouth shut?

With this gang of grifters the possibilities are endless.

13. More than likely security having to be there close to a week before she shows up

[catbyte]

16. If she was in Cairo for only 6 hours, why was a hotel necessary at all? AF1 is posh

and perfectly acceptable for her to take a nap in and to change her clothes.

[Fritz Walter]

17. That aircraft probably doesn't have a bathroom luxurious enough for her

Heavens knows, she had to wash off all the... dust... that she encountered during her trip to those countries that baby donnie referred to as $#!+ holes.

[LiberalArkie]

23. I just think everywhere Obama and Trump went out of country that the secret service always had

a hotel where they rented 3 floors not matter what Fir security personel and just the staff as a lot of people have to be present for the the plane lands.

[PatrickforO]

15. LOL

Well, they do say money talks, so maybe her few statements of actual substance should include these billing statements...

19. Melania Trump mysteriously racked up $100K tab during 6-hour stay at Cairo hotel: report

21. That hat is a joke!

After spending all that money, she still looks miserable as hell. Why do we all have to suffer reading and seeing her constantly? If she is so unhappy with her OLD man, she should leave. No wonder her career as an escort - er - "model" was not very successful. If men wanted to spend time with a seriously unhappy woman, they would stay home and save the money.

[fescuerescue]

22. That was probably the cost for rooms for the advance team.

While she didn't say overnight, the team that got there probably a week ahead of her certainly did.
