Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense
Washington Post ^ | February 16,2017 | Drew Harwell, Amy Brittain, and Jonathan O'Connell

On Friday, President Trump and his entourage will jet for the third straight weekend to a working getaway at his oceanfront Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. On Saturday, Trump’s sons Eric and Don Jr., with their Secret Service details in tow, will be nearly 8,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates, attending the grand opening of a Trump-brand golf resort in the “Beverly Hills of Dubai.”

/src on/The Fourth Estate reporting to duty./src on/ How come when the Obamas went on their junkets I had to read the British Press to find out the seven figure costs? Where were the articles about Michelle Obama jet setting around the world without her husband. Anybody remember her seven figure trip to Spain to party with her friends?

And just how many times was a similar article penned by these ghouls about all of Obama & the Mooch’s extravagant travel?

That little ‘jaunt’ they took to India is perhaps the most expensive vacation ever. A fantastic amount of money.

How about the obamas sending for a SEPARATE PLANE for their FREAKING DOG???!!!

Or their African trip where they took so many of their black friends and family members that the Africans were wondering if there were any white people in America??!!

Or the separate planes to Hawaii because they couldn’t stand to be on the same plane with each other??!!

Some press member needs to be strung up as a warning to STHU and stop with this crap.

Oddly, the press never cared when the Obamas took multi-million dollar vacations all over the world. Nor did they care when the Clintons did the same, or when the Clintons closed down entire airports to get expensive haircuts on board Air Force One.

Now, suddenly, they care. Other than for security, are taxpayers footing the bill? Since Trump can actually afford to fly himself around, just as he did during the campaign.

This is just perfect. Get them whining about this and then be totally prepared to list just a few of the Obama trip details the media never reported on. Then the final retort would be to challenge them to revise and extend their remarks.

...guess these so-called “reporters” didn’t think the Clinton’s charging $10,000 a month
to rent a house they owned in the Chappaquiddick compound was just a tad too much?.... wonder if it’s still there and that was near 20 years ago. You should look into that WAPO

The entire classic media are nothing but a bunch of liberal shills acting like a bunch of little Chihuahuas nipping at the ankles. They are so rabidly entrenched in their bias and its confirmation by their tight circle of elitists they don’t even realize there really are Americans out here who hate their damn stinking guts.

But if Obama’s travel expenses were excessive then how can we turn a blind eye to Trump’s?

Fake news.

This is exactly the kind of falsehood the MSM accuses Trump of.

They have no shame.

The big news here is that the Washington Post is all of a sudden concerned about taxpayer expense.

Trump is filthy rich. People don’t care about hit pieces like this one.

They tried that during the campaign and lost. It isn’t working for them.

But that’s exactly how the fake news media works covering Republicans. Trump isn’t scared of them.
