He has spent more on trips to his hotel from January 20 to now

[malaise]

than President Obama spent in a year. He is the quintessential swamp dweller - venal, corrupt, racist greedy and much more

[bullimiami]

1. How much taxpayer money is going into his pocket for this?

He is grifting us just like he grifted his campaign.

What a pitiful billionaire he must be that needs money so badly.

[malaise]

2. Guess he's grifting big time because he knows

his grifting spree will soon come to an end

[lark]

15. Is he even still a billionaire?

I bet he's lost so much money in stupid deals that he's not even wotht billions anymore. Failed at everything, including pretending to be the head of US, drumpf. Bigly sad!

[bullimiami]

37. If he was he wouldn't need to keep grifting thousands and tens of thousands of dollars.

Takes a lot of those to add up to even 1 Million but he keeps grabbing them.

[n2doc]

3. Maybe the perfect example of IOKIYAR

Can you imagine the non-stop wailing if President Clinton were flying back up to NY every weekend? They'd do it even if she just went to Camp David. RWNJ will dismiss anything their 'god emperor' does.

[malaise]

4. Sure looks that way

[yardwork]

5. Not only that, Trump owns the hotel where everybody stays!

Our tax money is paying millions of dollars every week to Trump's business. This is incredibly unethical.

[malaise]

6. He is violating every rule in the book

Never have I seen anything like this in the USA - not in my lifetime

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. The government should ** pay only wholesale cost ** so that there is NO PROFIT. . . nt

[Fla Dem]

24. Yes, this is what's botheriing me more than his trips. But no news mentions it.

Secret Service, WH staff all stay at Mar-A-Lago and Trump is charging us the American taxpayer for their accommodations.

[yardwork]

30. Can you imagine if a Democrat were doing this....

[Fla Dem]

31. Yes I can, there would be mobs in the streets with burning torches and pitchforks!

[SammyWinstonJack]

35. Add to that, some members of his administration are living at his DC Hotel.

Who's picking up the tab for that at $800 a night?

[Cosmocat]

8. If this situation was completely reversed

And frankly 1/100 as bad, Rs would effectively have shut down DC until he was impeached.

[narnian60]

16. Absolutely.

[Submariner]

7. Where is Cokie Roberts and her "exotic" places

comment about how the president should not travel to an exotic place like Mar A Lago resort and just go to like Myrtle Beach.

Oh I forgot...IOKIYAR.

[DK504]

25. Maybe this SOB

could go to Camp David sometime. It's a little bit easier to secure than open patio dinners. Don't they have to shut down the airport when he is at Camp Grifter?

[PearliePoo2]

27. About Camp David, he said:

"It's a nice place...for about 30 minutes."

Obviously there's not enough gold glitz, bright lights and adoring (paying) people around fawning all over this fake asshole.

[Applan]

9. Well he is a con man after all

He's the greatest con man whoever lived.

[malaise]

10. Indeed and I still don't understand why Hillary failed to call him Don the Con

from the hour after he called her 'crooked Hillary'.

[Glamrock]

12. I do....

She has class, grace, and dignity. Trump on the other hand....

[malaise]

21. Well you'd better how calling a con man a con man

violates class, grace or dignity. A fact is still a fact

[dalton99a]

14. +1

[ProudProgressiveNow]

11. K&R nt

[trusty elf]

17. How much is it costing to protect the Third Lady in Drumpf Tower?

[blue sky at night]

18. thanks for this...

I couldn't hate these bastards any more than I already do...I have hated republicants since my youth, starting on May 4th, 1970! I grew up 6 miles from where that took place and my r mother told me they deserved to die that day...imagine a mother that thinks anyone's child deserved to die because they were on campus that day. Fucking unbelievable but we should all remember they all want us to die.

[ET Awful]

19. Hmmm. . . swamp dweller, spends time in Florida

Makes sense to me

[malaise]

22. ROFL

[A HERETIC I AM]

36. Not fair....

Mar-A-Lago sits on an ancient barrier island.

So it isn't a swamp. It's a sandbar.

Make your joke from there

[Cryptoad]

20. Trump makes the swamp look like,,,,

a mountain top resort!

[malaise]

23. +1,000

[Vinca]

26. And yesterday, on a whim, he summons the Keebler Elf to Florida which means

ka-ching, ka-ching another jet ride paid for by American taxpayers.

[erpowers]

28. Not Quite, But Close

It is estimated that President Obama's eight years of vacations cost American taxpayers $97 million. If you divide 97 by 8 you get the number 12.125. So, through rounding you get a yearly total of $12 million per year for President Obama's vacation travel. According most media reports, with this trip, Donald Trump has hit the $12 million mark. If he returns to Mar-A-Lago next week, President Trump will have spent more on vacation travel than President Obama.

[yardwork]

32. But you're not counting the cost of protecting Trump Tower in NYC.

[BSdetect]

29. Its just a huge con job for easy cash.

[stollen]

33. He feels more "king like" and in control at Mar-O-Lago than the WH

Working for the public means you don't get the same adoration as being the boss of a bunch of receptionists/waiters/maids/bellboys.
