This site has information in all Trump’s vacation and travel costs. If you don’t like the source offer an alternative. They file FOIA paperwork for this info.

Again... 8 years vs 2 years.

As America’s first family enjoys its eighth and final vacation in Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ annual trip at $3.5 million or more.

In total, the cost of the the first family’s personal or largely personal travel during the last eight years comes to $85 million – though that is likely to climb to $90 million after additional records are released, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch based on federal government records.

The cost of Air Force One and other government planes as well as helicopters, cargo planes, armored cars, Secret Service protection and advance, communications and medical staff has led Judicial Watch to push for less personal travel.

Yawn. Melania Trump cost much more than that when she decided to stay in NYC for several months before making her way to the White House.

Judicial watch is a source that will sue for these documents- even Trumps. It’s not covering for Trump.

You people are jerks. The information is there find it yourself. I am not your Alexa.


People who make claims need to back them up if asked. That’s how it works here.

Yup. 110$ million in less than four months because Melania wanted Barron to finish out his school year in NYC . For that price, the US Government could have built a school (or two). Any Republicans complaining about how much the Obamas cost the US taxpayer are either ignorant or hypocrites or both.

Obviously you are incorrect because not a single person minus one has posted any credible links to Obama vs Trump vacation spending. But lots of claims.

Nineteen trips to Mar-a-lago at $3.4 million a trip? Trump's Mar-a-Lago jaunts almost certainly cost more than twice the entire Mueller probe.

Donald Trump's regular jaunts to his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida appear to be costing taxpayers a small fortune. The president's three trips have probably cost the federal Treasury about $10 million, the Washington Post estimates, based on an October 2016 Government Accountability Office analysis of White House travel.

By comparison, Barack Obama's travel expenses averaged just $12.1 million during each year of his presidency. In total, Obama's eight year travel bill came to $97 million and unbelievably, Donald Trump is on pace to outspend him in less than one year. The Washington Post says "the elaborate lifestyle of America’s 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 previous presidents."

Thank you Captain Obvious. Apparently the the dcum braintrust cannot research dick, so when I post an acceptable and documented source, somehow the numbers posted there become my personal documents and numbers.

I hope Trump spends so much money on travel and tans and hookers and McDonald’s that all of your heads explode into goo.

My God. What a collection of utter buffoons.

Judicial Watch is not “acceptable” because there is a lot that is not “documented” in that list. It looks like they are only counting Trump’s official “vacations,” while ignoring the fact that he spends nearly every goddamn weekend at one of his own properties filling his pockets with our money.


Great. What’s your holy source? You don’t have one. But you’ll type lol day like a loon with not a scrap of info.



No, it's you typing like a loon. It takes time to FOIA request the information on Trump's vacations, so there will be a lag. But rest assured, his travel expenditures will be far more than Obama's because, as others have pointed out: 1) he spends every weekend at one of his properties, 2) he has a huge family that flies everywhere with secret service agents, 3) Melania's decision to stay in NYC for months so her son could finish the school year which cost 110$ mn.


Typing sources any dunce could find, yet refuse to, or say it’s not acceptable but offer none of their own sources.

You have zero concrete info. Hopefully Trump’s 8 golden years will bring hundreds of millions into his own pocket while you gnash your teeth and wail, impotently. So entertaining.

They were protecting him unpaid for a month during the shutdown. And I bet Trump didn't buy them a thing.

And this doesn't include Melania's decision to stay in NYC for her kid's school. Trump is a huge drain on taxpayer resources.
