Trump's Family & Cabinet Are Draining The Treasury At A Record Pace

Can you imagine if the Obama's spent as much. So far the Trumps alone, have spent nearly 30% of what the Obamas did in 8 years.

“According to a new Wall Street Journal report, Mrs. Trump has spent $675,000 on flights during her first three months her husband was in office. During that period, Trump lived in New York City while her newly elected spouse was living in the White House. Mrs. Trump maintained that she wanted their son to finish out his school year before moving to Washington, D.C.

The well-intentioned act cost the taxpayers a pretty penny, however. The flights cost 29.3 percent of Obama’s total expenditure over eight years. Obama spent a total of $2.3 million over her husband’s two terms.

The flights weren’t simply flights back and forth between New York City and Washington, because the president sought to spend the winter in Florida, it meant the official Air Force jets were forced to shuttle the family to his location. This cost was on top of the expenditures to secure Trump Tower for the First Lady, which totaled $1 million daily.

The Journal cited military records that show at least 19 trips to New York’s LaGuardia Airport and nine trips to Florida’s Palm Beach International Airport to drop her off. The fleet of Air Force One and Air Force Two jets are always stationed at Andrews Air Force Base or a secure Air Force facility nationally and internationally. So, the planes had to leave Andrews, fly to New York, pick up Mrs. Trump and take her to Florida.”
