Imagine if Obama did this......

Most expensive president in history

... a unique set of circumstances has made the current presidential family the most expensive in history. There is no standard methodology to tally travel and protection costs, but based on publicly available information reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, the total for Trump's first 100 days was at least $30 million ($A40m). By comparison, the conservative think tank Judicial Watch found .. costs for .. Obama and his much smaller family averaged $12 million ($A16m) a year ...

The jump in costs is largely due to the fact that Trump has used three separate residences - the White House, Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago. Over the weekend he added a fourth: the Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club where the family has traditionally spent summer weekends.

In addition to protecting the president and first lady, the Secret Service guards five children, their three spouses and eight grandchildren - 16 people in all. Since the election, Secret Service agents have accompanied the president's two adult sons on business trips to Dubai, Uruguay, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Ireland and Scotland. Each "protectee" - as they are called by the Secret Service - gets his or her own security detail even when travelling together ...

No. It's his fault that princess Melania can't live in the whitehouse like everyone else... This gratutitous spending is fucking outrageous. Anyone who is a conservative  and disagrees needs to check their card at the door.

Probably a lot easier to post videos of when he hasn't gone back on his word. The guy is a huge double talker walking contradiction.

Doesn't mean the Obamas didn't travel and spend money too! :thumb: Trump is just doing it Trump style

I'n guessing there's a lot of voter remorse all while still being thankful Hillary didn't win. Fucking sad it came down to those two and not having a close third party.

My point is, Trump has a large family, Obama's family, well there isnt one...

Ill put it in layman's terms for you.. A word problem for a first grader..

A family of 16 and a family of 4 are both going to the same restaurant to have dinner. Which family is going to spend more??  :thumb:

Mar a Lago, Bedminster, it's all Melania's fault :lol: 

He doesn't give a fuck, he understands that the simpletons who voted for him don't give a fuck about his taxes, or his spending habits on our debit account.

You know his kid is on record talking about how much the Russians have invested into Trump endeavors, but hey fuck seeing his tax returns :lol:

I believe she is moving into the WH once their son's school year is over.. They stay at Trump Tower, the place that receives daily bomb threats..I guess its his fault he won, its not the people calling in the death threats who are the problem..

damn, do I need to post that meme again?

point #1 - trump should stay home more often, or go to nearby camp david, like former presidents have done

point #2 - trump should not have ridiculed Obama for golfing and vacationing during his campaign, and then turn around and do more of it himself

point #3 - the repukes who whined and complained about Obama doing a fraction of what trump has done, should be irate and vocal about trump

point #4 - I don't really give a shit, yet. however, if melania decides to stay in NYC, instead of moving to the WH after school is out, then I will.

point #5 - I haven't seen one person complain about the costs associated with protecting the entire family. just the extravagant stuff, like the frequent visits to mar a lago.

going to be a interesting 8 years, wonder how many of the liberal sheep will stroke out by 2024

I'm hoping half.  Wait, can we request percentages?  Let's say 75% then.  Some have already bred and started indoctrination procedures.
