Difference is, is it costing tax payers $3.3 MILLION dollars for all the congressmen to go home?

You should have researched further. The 3.3 million dollar figure was based on a similar trip obama made in 2013. He required several support aircraft, including transport of the presidential limousine a second airforce one and Marine one. There was also the cost of lodging, a rented mansion. The trip coming up with the 3.3 million dollar price tag also included a stop in Chicago.
.
With Trump, the only cost is the plane. Trump might be paying for that anyway.

If you think the cost for Trump to go to Mar-a-Lago is JUST the plane... you've lost touch with reality.

You need to look it up. Do some research. You picked up a figure somewhere without ever verifying the truthfulness.

I need to look it up? How many sources do you want?

And you forgot to mention the Obama trip it is based on was $3.6 million... with the extra plane stop in Chicago.

You do realize this is not new. JFK had his Palm Beach White House, just as Trump does, even with an emergency bunker on a small island, in case of emergency.

LBJ had his Texas White House.

Bush, also.

Yes, he is now going on his 7th vacation in as many weekends, including the 5th to Mar-a-Lago... and YOU are paying for it. $3.3 MILLION per trip to Mar-a-Lago... but people are arguing that cutting Meals on Wheels and food for poor kids at schools make sense.


"Despite vowing during his campaign that he “would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done” and “would not be a president who took vacations” because “you don’t have time to take time off,” Trump has visited Trump-branded properties each of the past six weekends. That streak will hit seven when Trump lands at Mar-a-Lago later Friday."

"As Quartz reported on Friday, after this weekend, Trump will have already spent about $16.5 million on trips to Mar-a-Lago. For that amount, Meals on Wheels could feed 5,967 seniors for a year and after school programs could feed 114,583 children for a year.

On Thursday, Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney defended the draconian cuts included in the Trump administration’s proposed budget by arguing that the federal government can’t ask “a coal miner in West Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to pay for” programs like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. But one wonders whether those struggling Americans would rather have public radio or dole out their share of the $3.3 million a self-proclaimed billionaire is spending each weekend to mingle with his ludicrously wealthy club members down in Florida."

Trump is on track to spend $1 billion in 4 years housing his wife in NYC and vacationing in Mar-a-Lago virtually every week.


Trump to spend 7th consecutive weekend at Trump-branded property, at enormous cost to taxpayers

/---- Libs excused Obozo's constant vacations so STFU and deal with it.

Constant vacations? Trump has gone on vacation EVERY weekend... With the cost of keeping Melania and Barron in New York and on top of his vacations, he's now spent close to what Obama spent in all eight years combined.

Now list how many times they visited their spots in the first two months in office.

No secret service?
President Crazypants is taking these vacations weekly at $3 mil a pop so stop mentioning Obama.
Watching TV all week is quite exhausting and deserves a long weekend rest.
Talk about low energy.

The secret service gets paid the same no matter where they are.

President Trump will be the greatest president of the 21st century while obama gets erased.

Awesome! But where they stay, where they eat... their travel costs to get there... that is not part of their daily routine.

Nobody is supposed to just be an enemy. We are all American citizens and should be looking out for what is best for the COUNTRY and not just who is making the decisions. When Obama was in office there was thread after thread from Republicans about how many times he would go golfing and how much his vacations were costing the tax payers. I don't know what is a good number of vacations for a President. I know it is one of the most stressful jobs on the planet, which can easily be seen in the before and after pictures of past Presidents. What I do know, is Trump is spending more money on personal expenses than any President in history, and his followers don't care and when others complain about it, they say it is nothing but whining and "butt hurt." Yet they were just doing the same thing 6 months ago and before that... so why has the need to criticize Presidential spending for personal trips suddenly changed?

So in other words, what you are saying is your angry because people on right annoyed you with their criticism of Obama's vacations so now you want to anger yourself and waste time posting about Trump's weekend golfing to get back at them?

No it is just to point out the hypocrisy of politics in general, and the fact that as long as it keeps on happening our government will never be successful. If you can't tell, I hate political parties, they are evil and they cause people to think irrationally.

And? You think all the secret service and staff crash on his couch?

Mar a Lago has 127 rooms. They can find a few.

 

[AgentSparky]

Is that mean spending millions just to play golf is acceptable?

How does it cost taxpayers 10 million for Trump to go to his home in Florida to play golf for the weekend?

They still have to pay to stay there...

It's not $10 million per weekend. It's $3.1 to $3.3 million.

It's all about the hypocrisy of the right. They complained bitterly about the cost of Obama vacations and travel. That Obama played too much golf, etc.

Now we see it wasn't about the amount of travel, number or length of vacations, or the cost. It was all about Obama being the first black president, and was getting the perks of the office.

Now that a white man is back at the helm, they no longer object to him tripling the perks, tripling the cost, tripling the number of golf trips.

Trump forgets his Obama criticisms

"

The ultimate hypocrite.

The media should state their sources. Trump makes stuff up with no sources.
Trump criticizes Obama for playing golf, Trump plays golf all the time.


Where does this shit end?

Oh, well that's okay then.....

Never said it was. I was just correcting your posts before more belligerent people did.

A weekend isn't a vacation, especially when you still work those weekends by meeting and discussing business. Technically he hasn't had a day off yet. Going home is normal.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

There hasn't been any thing indicating Trump has accomplished less on weekends than during the week.

Wait... so you guys are saying that Trump is costing tax payers and extra $3.1 million dollars to do his job each weekend. Does that make it any better? So Glad he isn't taking that $400K salary a year when he is doing this... wow what a deal!

How about he takes his $400K salary per year and then just works from the White House? I think that might be a little better for the country and the nations budget... wouldn't you think?

 

[Montrovant]

I wonder if the vacation complaints have come for every president? Here's a USMB thread complaining about Bush taking "another vacation": Another vacation for President Bush

R or D, the complaints remain the same.....it's only the complainers that change.

 

[Seawytch]

Trump vacations in Florida and not California because he can't charge the Secret Service double rent at Camp David.

Trump's Mar-a-Lago doubles initiation fee to $200K
