So 48 x 11.3 = 542.4 million dollars over 4 years. If Trump ends up spending half a billion dollars on these trips over just 1 term, I think Republicans will have forfeited the right to complain about this crap for the foreseeable future. Not that this will stop that, of course.

His sons should NOT get secret service protection. They are big boys that are supposedly working in the private sector that can pay for their own security if they feel that unsafe. But we should definitely not be using tax payer dollars to escort babies Eric and Junior to hotel openings in Dubai. Screw that and screw them.

Of course, its disgustingly hypocritical how often trump is escaping to Mar-a-lago. Soon he will be spending most of the week there.

Donald Trump should issue an executive order moving the national capital to Palm Beach, Florida.

I don't know, West Palm Beach has the same murder rate as Chicago. It's a disaster!

The establishment of both parties supported a $2 trillion war started for no good reason, and yet the poors always get the shaft because it's too expensive.

The Secret Service is much better than private security. Last thing we need is for one of them to be taken hostage.

Now they have said they will drop the protection when Trump leaves office, forgoing the 10 years they're entitled to. But I think we're stuck with this for now.

Not to mention that he already ripped off taxpayers with the Secret Service as president-elect, when they had to pay him rent in Trump Tower.

Or so he says.

But let's see: 4 x $400,000 = $1.6 mil

I guess that's a fair trade off, right?

But he saved us a billion from Boeing and another $500M on the F35 orders in his first 30 days  >  Trips.

Or have you not been paying attention to the real facts, Missy.
