Has anyone calculated the costs to send The Don and his criminal family, a 9 member delegation, SS protection, hotel and entertainment expenses, AF1 and other transportation?

I will not link the articles related to annual demonstrations by anticapitalists. I am not aware of these groups using violence in the past. I’m catching up my reading so this topic may have already been posted.

Trump to attend annual economic forum in Davos, Switzerland

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump plans to attend a global economic forum in Switzerland this month, making up for an appearance he cancelled during last year’s record-long shutdown of the U.S. government.

The annual World Economic Forum, held in the popular ski resort of Davos, attracts wealthy, high-profile business and political figures, along with academics and other leaders of society.

Trump’s Jan. 21-22 appearance will mark his first time on the world stage since he authorized the U.S. military to kill Iran’s top military commander.

It will also be Trump’s first trip outside of the U.S. since becoming only the third American president to be impeached, and the first one to carry that mark into a reelection campaign.

Trump will address the gathering about two weeks before the first voting in the process that will determine his Democratic opponent in the November election.

Davos: White House official says Trump expected to go after skipping during 2019 shutdown

President Donald Trump is expected to go to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum later this month after not attending the conference last year because of the government shutdown, a White House official told CNN on Wednesday.

The annual conference brings together powerful executives, finance ministers and other members of the global elite. Trump attended the summit in 2018 and was pleased with the reception he received, people who spoke to him afterward told CNN at the time.

According to a White House press release, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin will lead the delegation, which will include presidential advisers and Trump family members Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, as well as several members of the President's Cabinet. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer will be among the nine-person presidential delegation to the mountainside conference.

2. Take a tranquilizer and sit down before looking

In Switzerland, a grande coffee at Starbucks costs as much as $8 or more in most of their outlets. Switzerland is so expensive, in some border areas, many Swiss do their grocery shopping in either Germany or France.
