Don't know, don't care. Off topic.

I do know that Trump would continually criticize Obama for golfing and for the frequency and cost of his vacations.

I do know that many posters here on BB criticized Obama for his frequent travel and vacation costs.

I think that Use of Time will be proven to be correct--people that criticized Obama will not criticize Trump.

I'm just being consistent with my criticism.

Will obama criticize HIM for travel expenses and golfing rounds?... "You ought to economize, Donny, and hold your costs down to a mere 97 million like me!" Maybe he doesn't know green fees have increased?

That was $97 million over 8 years for Obama, BTW. Trump is on a pace to far exceed that amount. And I doubt Trump has to pay for rounds of golf at his own country club.

Why worry about people not criticizing Trump when they criticized Obama for going on endless vacations? What good did it do, now you got a billionaire with his own jet that's almost as good as Air Force One but it's less secure, so Trump isn't taking that one. Why does he HAVE to go to Florida every weekend anyways, and I just can't believe a trip from DC to FL and back could cost 3M even on Air Force One and all the staff and escort planes.

Supposedly, they get that number - around 200k/hr by dividing the costs to maintain and operate the thing divided by the flight time - seems to be a weird way to figure it.

If you want to know what I think is the difference, when Obama did it, it looked like a community organizer grifter took the advantage of the taxpayers, and when Trump does it, it looks like a cheap, faux populist billionaire taking the advantage of the taxpayers,

To be fair one needs to compare the work accomplished.

Looks like Trump has already surpassed Obama's 8 years on work output.

Oh? Name one significant piece of legislation Trump has signed?

Compared to Obama signing the $780 billion stimulus bill in his first 50 days, yes, a bill signed by Trump relaxing Dodd-Frank regulations seems like the trivial law that it is.

Donald Trump's travel expenses in 10 weeks cost US taxpayers as much as Barack Obama spent in two years

US President has spent seven weekends at Mar-a-Lago since taking office 10 weeks ago



Obama’s travel expenses were $97m over eight years. Trump is already at $23m after 10 weeks

Firstly, I dont think your numbers on Obama are accurate. What is your source? Does it include the time he ordered pizza for everyone at the white house to be flown from chicago? Does it include the millions Michelle spent on vacations?

Secondly, the only reason Donald is working out of Mar a Lago is illegal surveillance likelihood and security concerns about the Deep State shadow govt that Obama has set up in DC, so we can blame O for that spending also

Pizza, no. Vacations, yes.

No, Donald goes to Mar-a-Lago because he wants to go golfing. Also, he has a phobia about sleeping in buildings that he doesn't own.
