Trump's Self-Care Tour Is Costing America Millions

The president is going all in on making himself great again.

Source: Vanity Fair, by Emily Jane Fox

*****

The three trips to Mar-a-Lago that Trump has taken since his swearing-in will cost an estimated $10 million, according to a government report from October, analyzed by The Washington Post. That’s not even including the expense to Palm Beach County. The ritzy beach town’s sheriff said Trump’s first few weeks in office have cost local taxpayers $60,000 a day, according to the Post, as they shell out money for cops working overtime to handle security and traffic issues.

Those are pennies compared to what it costs every day to secure Trump Tower, where Melania and Barron have chosen to stay despite the incredible logistical and security challenges involved in protecting them as they shuttle back and forth between one of the busiest locations in Manhattan and Barron’s school uptown. The Post reports that police officials estimate it costs $500,000 a day to do so—a fee that could reach $183 million in a year.

That is just to secure the First Lady and one First Son; Donald Trump has five children and eight grandchildren. And since he turned over the keys to the Trump Organization to his adult sons Don Jr. and Eric, taxpayers are now footing the bill to protect them as they conduct business overseas, too. The Post reported that when Eric traveled to Uruguay to promote a Trump-branded building—the proceeds of which continue to line the president’s pockets—the U.S. government paid $100,000 in hotel rooms alone to support the trip. With Don Jr. and Eric set to travel to Dubai for more business promotion this weekend, the Secret Service has reportedly already paid $16,000 in hotel bills before the brothers even left American soil.

This is the crux of what is wrong with the Trump presidency. The Trumps do what is best for them at the expense of the American people. President Trump did not divest from his business, even though it means the U.S. will now have a much harder time castigating nations around the world for their own corrupt business practices. He spent days focused on his inaugural crowd size and meetings with visiting foreign leaders, boasting about his electoral victory instead of clarifying the role Russia played in his election or reassuring Jews that he is not fostering anti-Semitic rhetoric. He is leaving the White House to go on an ego-boost tour even though it will cost taxpayers millions upon millions of dollars. For a president who built his platform on the idea of making America great again, the only one who appears to have benefited so far is President Trump himself.

Remember the time that people who claim to respect the military, have family values and want the government to cut spending...... voted for a con man that faked his way out of military service, cheated on multiple wives, publicly stated he would date his daughter, bragged about not paying taxes. 

Is anyone surprised that he is funneling money into his own businesses? That's what con men do.

What a dipshit post. Hey, how did your lying queen do with the military and police force?  Ahhhh....bu-by, her disgust for both (along with her party) pretty much slammed that door on her crooked face.  The US Military HATES the liberal democrats.  Well, maybe not the Air Force and coast guard.

sbyl.  Now, and again, go cry.
