Trump Going on SEVENTH Vacation in Two Months, FIFTH to Mar-a-Lago

[mudwhistle]

It does not cost ten million dollars to go from DC to Florida.

We are not talking commercial flight tipsy.

Every cross-country trip Obama cost us a minimum of $120k in fuel. He can't pay for that. Trump can.

Not sure why you are brining up numbers like that... Obama is out of office and we know how much he cost tax payers. It was $97 million over 8 years. I already showed you Trump is pushing $87 million after 2 months.

I think the reason is it's bullshit. We had to spend billions to take care of the first family when Obama was president. Obama was the biggest spending president ever. He spent more than all of the presidents before him combined. The Trump administration has frozen Obama’s quiet attempt to send $221 million to Palestine
When Obama took office the debt was $10 trillion. Now it's $19.8 trillion. Trump has cut the debt $60 billion since he took office. End of story.
This is nothing but fake news in yet another attempt to trash Trump.

1.4 BILLION Spent On The Obamas In 2011 – British Taxpayers Only Spent 57.8 Million On The Royal Family

While most of America is suffering through one the worst economic downturns in U.S. history, the Obamas are living the high life at your expense. During 2011, U.S. taxpayers spent an astounding 1.4 billion dollars on the Obamas. Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spent 57.8 million dollars on the entire royal family. Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture? So where did the 1.4 billion dollars go? That money paid the salaries of their staff members, it paid for their transportation and housing costs, it paid for entertainment and vacations for the Obamas, and $102,000 was even spent on a “dog handler” for the family dog Bo. In his new book entitled “Presidential Perks Gone Royal: Your Taxes Are Being Used For Obama’s Re-election“, author Robert Keith Gray reveals some absolutely shocking details about the enormous amounts of U.S. taxpayer money that are being spent on the personal needs of the Obamas. At a time when the U.S. national debt is absolutely exploding this kind of outrageous spending is completely and totally inappropriate, but of course the mainstream media is not going to report on this because they don’t want to do anything to put the Obamas in a bad light this close to the election.

Some of the things that Robert Keith Gray has uncovered are absolutely mind blowing. The following are a few facts from his new book….

5 Facts You May Not Know About How Much Obama's Travel Costs You

 

[mudwhistle]

$97 million????

5 Facts You May Not Know About How Much Obama's Travel Costs You
With Michelle Obama in China and the President set to take a trip to Belgium on Tuesday, there has been a lot of press about their trips and their associated costs. Some facts to consider:

1. With 31 trips for a total of 119 days abroad, President Obama has now traveled more than any other president, although Bush 43 and Clinton also set records before him.
   
   
2. Air Force One Costs over $228,000 per hour to fly.
   
   
3. The President sometimes travels with a 900-person, 45-car, 2 Air-Force Ones, 3-cargo plane entourage
   
   
4. The 13-hour visit in South Africa for Mandela's funeral cost an estimated $11 million (including 127 hotel rooms and not including the flight).
   
   
5. Annual costs for supporting the White House exceed $1.4 billion.

By way of comparison, travel expenses for the royal family of Great Britain was less than $9 million in 2012 and the cost to maintain them for the year was $55 million. Bonus: The properties owned by the royals generate north of $200 million in rent, so when you include that figure, England actually makes money on the Queen.

Even on the first lady's current “non-political” trip to China, there's news about excessive spending: Michelle is staying at the Westin, in an $8,400 per night suite, a hotel deemed unsuitable for Vice President Biden's trip to Beijing last year — because of its nightly price tag.

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."

I wonder how much Obama is costing us right now? He's currently in French Polynesia living it up in the compound of deceased actor Marlon Brando under Secret Service protection.

PHOTO: Barack Obama Lands in Tahiti, On His Way to Ultra-Private Brando Resort

"Barack Obama has landed in Tahiti for what is reportedly a month’s vacation on the private island that includes a stay at Marlon Brando’s former home, as well as a luxury yacht cruise.

Earlier this week, the former President was in Hawaii, reportedly visiting friends and family. On Wednesday, Obama jetted from Honolulu to Papeete, the capitol of French Polynesia, and then on to Tahiti.

French language television captured the President’s arrival."

According to AFP, Obama is booked for a full month’s stay at The Brando, a privately owned, “eco-resort” for the rich and famous. One of the 35 private villas at the resort, which boast their own private, ocean-front freshwater pools and a collection of rare orchids, can run up to $13,000 per night.

It’s possible, French media reports, that the President may spend a few days aboard the famous luxury yacht, the Rising Sun (owned by media mogul David Geffen), anchored nearby. Geffen was a major supporter of Barack Obama’s two Presidential campaigns and was rewarded for his efforts with invitations to Obama-era state dinners.

In Tahiti, Obama will be blissfully out of touch as Congress debates repealing his signature achievement, the Affordable Care Act, and discusses chipping away at his other cherished programs during budget negotiations. As it stands, the House is set to review and vote on an Obamacare alternative, the American Healthcare Act, next Thursday.

So far, Obama appears to be alone at The Brando. His daughter Malia is doing a film internship in New York City, and his daughter Sasha is still in school in DC. Michelle Obama’s whereabouts are unknown, and it’s not clear any other members of his family will be joining the former president at the private enclave."​

CONSPIRACY: Obama DOJ Stole BILLIONS And Gave Money To Radical Activists

CONSPIRACY: Obama DOJ Stole BILLIONS And Gave Money To Radical Activists
By Patriot Reporter | March 13, 2017

Obama’s DOJ stole billions of dollars from taxpayers and funneled it to left-wing activist groups.

Is this to plan for the upcoming civil war?


As reported by BloodyRubbish, “If Obama is indeed running a shadow government, they are going to need funds for their attempt at maintaining control over the United States.

Billionaire George Soros has historically come to the financial aid to left-wing protest groups, but it appears that his funds may not be needed — Obama’s DOJ stole billions for left-wing protest groups.

Was Obama planning to continue his left-wing revolution while still in office?


It looks like the activists he has been involved with most of his life colluded to make sure their groups were able to get billions funneled to them during the Obama administration’s reign.

Between the protesters, organizers and seemingly unlimited funds it appears that Obama is not just planning to take down the Trump administration, but also cause a civil war.

It is a fact that Obama has influence over countless leftists and liberals — and now — the resources to get whatever he wants done.”​

You have to be kidding me with this. The left really are nothing but hypocrites. Obama spent an unprecedented amount of money on vacations in the form of 85 million dollars of tax payer money. No other president before him comes close to that. The trips Obama were taking were costing a couple million everyday.

Before you can even blink at trump for this, you have to condemn Obamas outrageous travel. Because right now you have zero credibility for yourself, if that matters to you? There is a big difference between vacationing to Hawaii, and going to stay at a golf course that you own in Florida!! That's a way cheaper trip than any Obama has taken.

 

[sakinago]

I like how his supporters defend his proposed budget by asking everyone to make nessecary cutbacks in their life. He could of saved meals on wheels by cutting back on his weekend vacations.

I think the funny thing is that he mostly hangs out at his golf courses on these vacations, and his supporters refuse to call him out on it.

Obama went golfing more than any other president!!! Again left looses all credibility for themselves. For them it isn't about actual facts or standards, it's about teams and my side does right no matter what and yours is wrong no matter what. Obama = 85 MILLION DOLLARS in vacations with taxpayer money.

If you work from home you're on vacation? Who knew? I hate to break this to you, Lewdog but compared to Barry...Trump is a workaholic! He's up before dawn and quite often works past midnight. White House correspondents have complained about being exhausted having to cover what he's doing because he works such long hours. Of course if the Democrats would stop stalling Trump's appointments perhaps he'd have the Cabinet in place to help him! You've got a President who likes to work from his home in Florida. Get over it.

2. The President sometimes travels with a 900-person, 45-car, 2 Air-Force Ones, 3-cargo plane entourage

That's because Obama was WORKING while he traveled.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Trump submitted a cost cutting budget to congress and all they've been doing the last 24 hours is whine about how much he's cutting......yet the left is screaming that he's spending too much.

Senate Democrats threaten government shutdown amid Trump budget wishlist


Senate Democrats who have long-fought Republican attempts to shut down the government over budget disputes are now threatening to do exactly that.

Democrats said they will block any attempts to include President Trump’s proposed border wall – or other far-right agenda items – in the $1 trillion spending package expected to be announced this week. And, they said, they are not opposed to shutting down the government if Republicans insist on including it.

The warning letter, written by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other top Senate Democrats, was addressed to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. It warned against funding the U.S.-Mexico border wall and other “poison pills” that could be hidden in the budget plan—such as defunding Planned Parenthood, rolling back environmental regulations and allocating additional funding to the Pentagon.

“We believe it would be inappropriate to insist on the inclusion of such funding in a must-pass appropriations bill that is needed for the Republican majority in control of the Congress to avert a government shutdown so early in President Trump’s Administration,” the letter read, addressing the bipartisan budget agreement reached in 2015 that set spending levels for defense and non-defense programs.

The letter said including any “poison pill riders” in the bill will have severe consequences.

“We hope our Republican colleagues will work with us in a bipartisan way so that the appropriations process meets the needs of the American people,” Schumer said. “If Republicans insist on inserting poison pill riders such as defunding Planned Parenthood, building a border wall, or starting a deportation force, they will be shutting down the government and delivering a severe blow to our economy.”

McConnell’s office did not immediately issue a statement in response to Schumer’s letter.

But the threat to shut down the government is not one that Republicans are unfamiliar with. Under the Obama administration, Congressional Republicans had major confrontations over budget disputes that ended in a government shutdown or partial shutdown.​

Pure Bull. Trump spends hours watching TV, iw fox news and the apprentice. Explaining his tweets about Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his theories of Trump Tower wiretaping.

As far as working from Mar-a-lago. After signing executive orders on day one, Trump signed NOTHING while down in florida, and didn't sign another EO until he returned to washington. So in Trumps first four days, he spent half of them on vacation.
