So much for financing himself

Thank goodness we have such a protector of the public coffers in high office!!

Note: these dollar amounts are small...but they only account for incidental expenditures...and they also highlight the underlying ethical problems with the Trumps...3 of these 4 trips are listed as "business trips". So you and I are subsidizing the Trump businesses...as we all knew we would be...and as we all know we shouldn't be.

But hey, none of this matters! He has an (R) after his name and everything he does is excusable or excused!

President Donald Trump's family is reportedly headed to the ski resort town of Aspen this weekend, a trip that could cost taxpayers a pretty penny in security costs judging by the clan's recent globe-trotting.

The Trump family visit to Aspen has not been officially announced, but the Aspen Times, quoting anonymous local law enforcement sources, reported Thursday that Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka Trump and their families were expected and that the Secret Service had met with the Aspen Police Department.

There are no hotel bills for Aspen in the Federal Procurement Data System yet, but the database does show a $12,208.25 contract by the Secret Service with Aspen Valley Ski/Snowboard Club for "recreational good rental/ski equipment lease" between the dates of March 10 and March 23.

No further details were given, and the club's spokeswoman did not respond to requests for more information.

Federal documents examined by NBC News outline hotel bills for the U.S. Secret Service and State Department coinciding with other out-of-town visits by Trump's sons and daughters, including:

•$53,155.25 during Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Tiffany Trump's business trip to Vancouver in late February.
•$16,738.36 during Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump's business trip to Dubai in mid-February.
•$97,830 for Eric Trump's business trip to Uruguay in early January.

In addition, the records show the Secret Service spent $4,0162.02 on rental vehicles in the Dominican Republic on Jan. 29, just ahead of Eric Trump's business visit to Cap Cana.

right how many trips did Obama take and cost us

So far, Trump's spent about $15 mil. ($3 mil per trip to Mar-A-Lago, and he's been five times since Jan.20). Not to mention Melania and Barron spending time in New York, which NYPD estimates a cost of $127,000 - $146,000 per day, and $4.5 mil per year for fire department protection.

Obama spent about $12 mil per year on average for a total of close to $90 mil.

All the while, Trump was tweeting:
The habitual vacationer, @BarackObama, is now in Hawaii. This vacation is costing taxpayers $4 milion +++ while there is 20% unemployment
https://mobile.twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/151741365796085760

President @BarackObama's vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars——Unbelievable!

With 15% US real unemployment and a 16T debt, @Michelle Obama's luxurious Aspen vacation - her 16th - cost us over $1M.

Where'd you get that? That seems grossly at odds with the numbers I saw over the last eight years.

Judicial Watch via FOIA requests.

The actual number is:
Judicial Watch announced today that it has received new documents from both the Secret Service and the Air Force relating to Obama travel expenses, bringing the known total over the past eight years to $96,938,882.51.
