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.

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.

+1 Plus Secret Service follows Donnie and Eric around the globe as they do their sketchy Trump business deals. The costs of this family's protection is mindboggling.


Tiffany too. Check out her Social media. She’s always partying with her billionaire boyfriend at jetset spots around the world-with protection at taxpayer expenses.

Anyone done a cost calculation on this in total? Compared to what Orangina paid in taxes? Compared to what Orangina gave to Americans suffering from the virus he didn’t inform
the American public about during the state of the union where Nancy ripped up the speech? How many weeks of benefits could be paid if he weren’t golfing? If his 3rd wife weren’t increasing cost and tax payer burden with their marital issues?
Has anyone compared the cost of his golfing with the lost opportunity of investing those tax dollars instead of into security maybe an emergency relief or contact tracing Program as an public investment? Anyone? while he hedged bets on big pharma and communication company investments?

How much has this presidency truly cost us?

Doesn't it seem like so many of his old tweets about Obama are coming back to haunt him? Like about how it was Obama's fault that the shutdown in 2013 happened, and others. Of course, he and his supporters to choose to ignore them.

I use to think these were so funny. Now it’s just sad how much the GOP DGAF about what Trump does.

Expensive trips? Too much golfing?

Only if you’re a black POTUS.

Hawaii and Martha Vineyard trips cost more than Florida's. Trump vacations at his own home. Taxpayers have to pay for Obamas' lodgings.


How often did the Obamas go to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard, where they paid for their own “lodgings”? How often does Trump go to Florida and New Jersey, where we pay Trump for the Secret Service’s “lodgings”?


The Obamas went to Hawaii once a year. Trump is at Mar-a-lago every weekend, and each visit costs 3.5 million. To say nothing of Melania’s decision to remain in New York after her husband’s election, which cost 100 mn$ in secret service bills.



And Trump personally profits when SS have to stay and eat and take good carts at Trump properties - Trump Tower, MAL, etc.

Wrong.
“When a trip is for political or unofficial purposes, those involved must pay for their own food and lodging and other related expenses, and they must also reimburse the government with the equivalent of the airfare that they would have paid had they used a commercial airline.” https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/RS21835.pdf

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.

Link to copies of Obama travel documents.

Again... 8 years vs 2 years.


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.


Supporting fraud, waste and abuse to own the libs.

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."


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.


+1 In many many ways.

Of the many things for which President Donald Trump is now known, one is his frequent trips to Florida resort Mar-a-Lago and various Trump golf clubs. Some of the president's opponents have criticized these excursions because they're funded by taxpayer money. Every president goes on holidays, but it's worth taking a look at how much Trump's vacations cost in relation to other things the government spends money on.
