As a taxpayer, if I'm going to pay for a family to go on a European Vacation, I'd rather it be the Griswolds than the Trumps. Just sayin'

(9,426 posts)luxury vacation will cost the Treasury? I remember once when President Obama took Michelle to an exclusive restaurant in NY for her birthday (maybe anniversary) The uproar was deafening. How much did it cost, the voters (gop) wanted to know. They figured it out down to the last few $$$. Security detail, helicopter costs, even the meal. Scandalous. I think president Obama had already paid for the meal, plus some other expenses. Now we have the orange turd, waddling all over Europe making an ass of himself and us, and taking his grifter family along for the free ride. Beyond time for this to end.

This is what republicans claim is "conservative"?
Way out of whack.
