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.

And how much has Trump spent in just over two years?

Again, someone's REALLY bad at math.
$85mil in 8 years VS $150 million in 2yrs. At this rate, it will cost $300mil in his first term, and $600mill over 8 years.
Did you attend Trump U by chance?
From your own website source: Trump makes money off of his visits, paid for by the taxpayers.

If Trump is as rich as he purports, he should write a check to cover the costs.
Four of President Donald Trump’s trips to his Florida home in 2017 cost taxpayers about $13.6 million, amounting to nearly $1 million a day, the U.S. government’s watchdog reported Tuesday.
The federal government’s costs for the four trips included $60,000 paid directly to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, the Government Accountability Office said in a report released the day of the president’s annual State of the Union address.
Trump was at the Mar-a-Lago resort for portions of 14 days during the period the GAO examined from Feb. 3 through March 5, 2017.
The GAO noted in its report that it didn’t include some expenses that are classified nor did it include salaries or benefits, including overtime, for Secret Service and Defense Department personnel or other government employees traveling with the president. The salaries and benefits would be paid regardless of their duties on those days, the GAO said.
The totals include operating costs for aircraft and boats and temporary duty costs such as transportation, meals, lodging and incidental expenses, according to the report.
