I’ll give her a pass on the trip to South Africa and Botswana. That was, at least, an “Official First Lady” type trip to tout the administration line and act as goodwill ambassador. True, it was funded by taxpayer money, too, but it was not out of line with past First Lady endeavors.

As for the rest...the skiing trip vacations, in particular, rate a major ugh. I’m not saying skiing is necessarily an exclusive sport for the wealthy, but two weeks in Vail doesn’t come cheaply, even without Secret Service protection. Very hypocritical for an administration constantly harping about shared sacrifice and whatnot.

There were a couple other trips that technically weren’t vacations. A shopping trip to Paris with a large entourage, the trip in Air Force One to NYC to take Moose out to dinner.
