President Trump has a bigger family. Of course it's going to cost more.

Um it's about frequency of trips. They are all going to the same place, it's not about the number of people.

What a crock.

I don't know. Do you have an audited statement of the cost of travel or is this fake news?

Pretty sure there are links, you can click on them and they take you to the news story. They are bold and when you mouse over there's an underline, that's how you know they are links.

Please let me know if you need any more help with the internet. I'm happy to help you learn how it works.

You didn't complain the first damn time about Obama's trips, so this looks absolutely whiney.

You know? I dislike Trump and think it was risky making him president. But the question about the cost of his travel is just sour grapes and pooulist muck.

Well, except for the fact that the OP is right. Right wing nuts on this forum went craczy about this. Now nothing.

The Obama family Africa trip cost $50 million. Trump just saved tax payer s at least a Billion renegotiating military jet fighter contacts while Obama increased the national debt more than the 43 previous Presidents combined.

You bitched incessantly about Obama's spending. Trump will clearly out spend him and now your tune changes. Typical from righties like you.

Why do you think I care at all about any imaginary 'huge cost' or phantom regulations? Your tax burden means nothing to me. You're a source of amusement, nothing more.

It costs US taxpayers about $3 million every time Trump spends a weekend at his Florida Mar-a-Lago resort.

It costs US taxpayers roughly $700,000 for Secret Service and police protection every day that Melania and son Barron live in Trump Tower in New York City.

It costs US taxpayers about $200,000 a day for Secret Service protection every time one of the Trump sons (Eric/Jr) goes on a Trump Organization business junket.

No, you need to get better sources and learn the difference between the Deficit and Debt. Deficit is the annual budget short fall that creates the National Debt. Since Obama increased the National Debt more than the previous 43 president combined it is impossible that he actually lowered the deficit. When Obama came into office he immediately quadrupled the deficit and later cut it in half. Obama got to lie that he just cut the deficit in half because it was still technically Bushes budget when he quadrupled it and then under his own budget when he cut it in half.

The surplus was more from Newts Contract with America than Clinton. Bush inherited a recession and the foreign policies that caused 911. Even with the wars he only increased the Debt about a third of what Obama did.

I stand corrected I was going from memory when I said the Obama family Africa vacation cost $50 million. Several sources including your own say it was $60 to $100 million. I don't care what it is compared to Bush. I bring that trip up because it alone was more than yours original source says was spent on Obama vacations in all 8 years. So your source is B.S. With Obama taking the mother in law and 20 other family members it was a vacation.

Your source never cites any official numbers, they just speculate how much tax dollars was spent on Trump travels. The Trumps may have paid for it themselves, they can and are the types who would.

What pissed most people off about Obama opulent vacations is: without Tax payer funded public office they would be riding Greyhound not flying in private jets.

Nice Try but Lockheed and the Defence Dept themselves give Trump credit and say he negotiated the new contract. Politico? why not just quote Michael Moore? don't bring that garbage propaganda here again.

LOL!!!! You're telling me to learn the diff between deficit and debt and then denying Obama lowered the deficit? HAHAHA That's funny.

Bush inherited a recession? What? Bush inherited a budget SURPLUS and a good economy. He left office with the worst recession of our lives which needed a 2 trillion dollar bailout! That's the deficit Obama inherited and he lowered it by ONE TRILLION.

The Defense Dept does not give Trump credit - the deal was done already.

But Pentagon officials, who've long bargained to reduce costs of the massive F-35 order, announced before that meeting took place that Lockheed would bring down costs for the 90-jet order by more than $500 million. That move followed the Pentagon's decision before November's election to invoke a provision of its contract to unilaterally impose cost-cuts on Lockheed.

No I didn't. I frequently pointed out that the OBAMA VACATION whining was petty. That you have to make up accusations speaks volumes about your character.

Im not claiming Obama never reduced the deficit (learn to read) He cut the Deficit in half several months after he increased it 4 times over. He sometimes gets away with lying by leaving out the increase, because the Budget was still technically Bush's during that time.

Yes, Bush inherited a recession

Obama Bureaucrats rush out after the fact and claim they were going to save $500 million (your own source). No one including Lockheed ever heard of that. But even if it were true Trumps deal saves over $700 million. Check mate

Republicans griped every time Obama went to Hawaii or anywhere that cost taxpayers money.

What do Republicans say now?

I say you're basing this accounting on a fantasy based on a report conducted in October BEFORE THE ELECTION.

From you link:

"The three Mar-a-Lago trips in Palm Beach cost the federal treasury around $10m, based on figures used in an October government report analysing White House travel."
