Are we going to talk about Trumps traveling expenses?

[PutangRocky]

He's apparently spent 11 million in one month while Obama spent 12 million in a year on average. Isn't that a little bit extreme?

In just his first month in office, President Donald Trump has cost taxpayers almost $10 million in travel expenses, according to calculations from the Washington Post — meaning he’s on track to far exceed the amount President Obama’s travel cost in eight years.

The figure for Trump’s trips, calculated from an October 2016 Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate of presidential travel costs to Florida, includes only the expenses associated with Trump’s three trips to Mar-a-Lago — which he’s dubbed the “winter White House” — since the inauguration. It doesn’t factor in other costs, such as his adult sons’ recent trip to the United Arab Emirates to open the new Trump-branded golf resort and the associated Secret Service tab.

According to the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, Obama’s travel costs during his eight years in office totaled about $97 million. If Trump maintains his current pace, he’ll outspend Obama in less than one year.

You're going to have to settle on Vox. Conservative news sources aren't reporting on it.

Just wait til he builds his great, beautiful, and wonderful wall

[m1n2v5]

Mirin source. Are we going to talk about the 100s of millions he saved in the Lockheed contract, the billions the wall will save or the billions invested into America by auto manufacturers? Oh no, you'll start a CNN energy level attack thread, so original.

[BigElephant]

Even if he's using his own money on the trip itself, taxpayer money is spent on Secret Service and Airforce One for his trips.

How is this an attack thread? I'm stating a fact. The hero worship and defensiveness from is disgusting.

Another article suggesting the cost so far has been around 10 million

[AshWar]

No we're not

[SkinnyKappa]

I find this hard to believe honestly OP. Air Force One flights alone are $$ millions.
Might be some trick of words there somewhere.

Don't be disingenuous.

[Quizifier]

No we're not going to talk about this OP because the conservative snowflakes cannot handle the slightest criticism of their God.

[PutangRocky]

I'm not a liberal. I want the best for our country and I don't want my tax money wasted. We have to be critical of poor actions from every president regardless of political affiliation.

Strong sample size.

Because he didn't. He just took credit for a cost saving mechanism out in place before the November election.

Even if he was saving money, which is part of his job, it wouldn't justify spending tens of millions so he can go golfing.

Petition so that reds can't make threads anymore please

Let me correct myself; Reliable source?

Lib logic: over 100 billion per year tax dollars spent on subsidizing illegals = good.

President spending a few million on travel = bad

We got what was best for the country. You won't have to pay for the livelihood of illegal aliens. Show some consistency please.

Didn't u know anyone who uses their brain and doesn't support President Bannon is a liberal

This, tbh.

Trump would gladly fund the cost of his own transportation to and fro, but the enormous security detail left wing crazies force him to maintain is probably what drives up the government's end of the tab. Unfortunate for everyone. Dat tolerance doe.

This.

I fail to see how President Trump's travel expenses have outpaced Obama's travel expenses at such an extreme rate. President Obama in a year certainly travelled more than President Trump has in a month. Why would the costs be so different? It makes no sense.

[JrM703]

Didn't Hillary Clinton and John Kerry applaud themselves as the most traveled Secretary of States?

Didn't the media applaud those two for their perceived "diplomacy" via travel abroad?

See what I did there...

Inb4 President isn't SOS
