Trump back in Florida for another weekend on the golf course
Trump returns to Florida today, defying critics and costs

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump today will make his fifth trip to the Winter White House in Palm Beach.

The return to Mar-a-Lago is confirmation Trump is ignoring criticism about the cost and complications of his visits, which, on the other hand, have thrilled patrons of the members-only club.

But criticism has grown over the security costs, well into the millions of dollars, and the disruption to the area. A recent visit with the Japanese prime minister raised national security issues. And Democrats have raised conflict of interest concerns, demanding Trump release Mar-a-Lago's membership list.

We're tracking all of the president's visits to Florida:

Remember that the golf course is the only place he can really conduct business without being tracked and bugged by the spooks. There are no walls. Nothing to tap.

So it's okay. Let it go.

This trip brings Pres Trump's weekend scoreboard to:

Palm Beach/Mar-a-Lago – 5

White House – 4

Camp David – 0

No, we don't even want to think about how much his golf weekends are costing the Treasury.

It's roughly $15mil+ in 9 weeks. So his run rate is >$87mil per year which is more than Obama's in 8 years.

If he wasn't such a buffoonish clown, maybe he would have the competence to insure a secure environment in the White House.

But anyone with a brain knows that's not skipping out to Florida every weekend to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars.

Re: Trump back in Florida for another weekend on the golf course
Think of it this way:

Trump’s golf trip to Mar-a-lago this weekend cost $3,000,000 of taxpayer funds. That would be about the cost of meals for 419,000 seniors as with Meals on Wheels. Doesn’t that sound better? Of course, that’s not counting the 8,300 meals a day local police spend on overtime when he’s around. Absolutely worth it.

Wonder how long it will be before Melania says "Let them eat cake"?

Nope.

Presidents pay for their own and their families’ lodging, food and incidentals while on vacation, which may be why they generally prefer to stay at properties they own, as guests of wealthy friends or at the official presidential retreat at Camp David. But if they make it "official business", such as when Abe was there, the entire cost is covered. We do not know what Trump may have charged the Government for the use of Mar-a-Lago

But since all presidential vacations are always working vacations, taxpayers cover what it takes to keep the commander in chief working. Lodging and meals are an extra cost, but taxpayers pay the salaries of White House staffers and Secret Service agents whether the president stays in Washington or not, so a presidential vacation does not significantly increase personnel costs.

The biggest additional expense is the use of Air Force One and the support aircraft needed to haul all the equipment and ground transportation the president needs. The Congressional Research Service estimated that the cost of operating Air Force One is nearly $180,000 per hour. Ultimately, a presidential vacation can cost taxpayers an additional $1 million/day or considerably more than if the president had just stayed put in the White House.

The President does not pay any costs for AF1, not even when they use it for vacations. That was a rightfully a big criticism of Obama. But now Trump is using AF1 almost every weekend for a vacation.

If you honestly believe that, why would he meet with ANY officials in the White House at all? Merkel, May, executive business leaders and especially Bibi; if surveillance is really an issue?
You Trumpturds always say he's 5 steps ahead of everyone in a 12D chess game, shouldn't he have assumed surveillance and put his people onto sweeping his immediate area for bugs?

You are living in a idiotic Trumptarded dreamworld of denial.

There is no denying this fact of the millions in taxpayer dollars every time he goes to play golf and screw his mistresses in Florida.

He's going to ring up about a billion dollars for Mara Lago alone in the unlikely chance he makes it 8 years. And that's not counting the taxpayer costs for Melania on the lamb in NYC and taxpayer security for Trumps kids on their business trips for the Trump organization.

It's exactly why he golfs. Same reason Obama did too.

You idiots pretend to know what's going on but fail horribly because you are a universe removed from understanding.

Of COURSE Trump golfs to conduct business. If you look at trump's history he didn't golf nearly that much before being president. It's a known fact that the most secret meetings are conducted on the golf course. Same goes for business CEO's.
