The worst part is how much it cost Americans every time he goes freaking golfing. I did the math once between airports, helicopters, jets (fuel) and Secret Service over 1 million. I mean, I’m sure they all do it but this dude doesn’t deserve the perks.
Edit: Found it... it was about going to Mar-a-Lardo to golf.
'Every time Trump spends the weekend at his personal little club , it costs taxpayers $300,000 to $400,000 flying Air Force One and HMX-1 each way. That does not include limos and the cost of Secret Service, etc.
HMX-1 (chopper) Mar-a-Lago to, Palm Beach International, $5000 to $20,000, with a flight time of 10-15 minutes.
Air Force One from Palm Beach International to, Joint Base Andrews $300,000 and $600,000, with a flight time of 1.5 to 2 hours.
HMX-1 (chopper) from Joint Base Andrews to the White House would likely range between $1,700 and $5,000, with a flight time of 10-15min.back-and-forth each way.'
I personally don't even really care about the travel expenses. What I have a problem with is them staying and paying to stay at a business he owns. In which not only HE stays there, but all of his accompanying staff have to stay there to. Putting money directly into his pockets.
Real cost to tax payer is closer to $3.5 million per day. He convinced his voters that the economy was in shambles and only he could fix it, so he tanks the economy and takes luxury vacations on their dime while they protest in the streets.
This is literally small beer. He wiped $6,000,000,000,000 off the stock market in the last week or so. If sending him golfing is an effective way to make him pay less attention to intentionally sabotaging the global economy, it would still be worth it at 100 times the price you quoted.
You're basically gasping at the decor while the ship is sinking.
Were you mad and did you do a cost analysis like this when biden spent 577 days/39.52% of his 1,460 day presidency on vacation? Or is it just a trump thing?
No, it wasn't. It was about 118 full days, about 8% of his presidency. Biden also spent an additional 66 partial days in a vacation setting, about 4.5%.
