Does he permit people of color on his golf courses yet? Wasn´t that the only reason why so many Trumpistas hated him playing golf?

According to Judicial Watch the Obamas took 28 'personal' trips for a total of 217 days. This includes the 8 trips to Hawaii

Does that include the trips to NYC for "fundraising" or just to watch a show on Broadway, to hell with the hassle it cause anyone else? Because my office overlooks the Wall Street heliport, where Marine One and its escorts always land, and I lost count the number of times over the course of 5 years (only started there in the summer of 2011) where the whole of downtown got shut down just so Obama could come into town, but it was certainly close to 20. At some point I didn't even need to be looking, as the noise of the escort MV-22 Ospreys basically shook my entire office.

As for Melania, people need to get it into their thick skulls that the "job" of the First Lady is one and only one - to be married to the President. It is not to try to interfere with school lunches or whatever else pet cause they may have, so if they prefer to just be at home and take care of their kids, that is their right. To argue any differently is to say that women only find validation through their husbands and what they do.

Many if not most recent Presidents have two personal 'residences' Reagan would visit his ranch, or Palm Springs; George HW Bush visited Texas and Maine; Clinton visited Arkansas and New York; George W Bush visited Texas and Maine; Obama visited Chicago and Hawaii - later substituting Martha's Vineyard for Chicago.

So Trump has a winter home in Florida and an official residence in NYC. Big deal. The Secret Service will have to provide protection at both for as long as Trump is Preaident. Even when no one in the family is living there.

Of course Trump's travel is going to cost more than Obama. Just inflation will guarantee that.

The only thing this topic shows is the hypocrisy of the radicalized Republican critics of Obama's travel.

But we already knew they were going to pretend a Republican cost the government nothing, while a Democrat cost a fortune.

Just another reason that anyone who supports the Republican Party agenda can never be a true conservative.

Judicial Watch which tracked Obama said the cost to the taxpayer totaled 97 million over 8 years. They will also track Trump, and I am convinced that this man and his family will cost us so much it will boggle our minds. To say it will exceed the rate of inflation will be an understatement. Of course that matters not to the dedicated Trumpets who as has been said above will excuse it because he is entitled, and that is certainly a problem they all have including him. Nobody is entitled.

But I am AMAZED at the GOP on this issue...he is going to cost us hundreds of millions for this.
