WELFARE QUEEN President is charging us tons of $$$ for his weekend jaunts

From the Guardian:
BROKEN PROMISE: Absent president: Trump promised to “rarely leave the White House,” but this weekend will be headed to Florida for the third weekend in a row. Each trip costs taxpayers an estimated $3 million.

Squandering all our hard earned American tax dollars on the republican Tax Dodger & his DEEluxe (or is it PEEluxe) golden accomodations is a repugnant ripoff for all decent human beings.

Why do republicans so enjoy squandering our hard-earned tax dollars?

Sick.

There should be new rules about what is an acceptable as a 2nd residence for any president. Not only in terms of security, but expense and feasibility. Trump should pick one single family residence, not commercial venues open to the public to come and go as they want. He should not get treated to unlimited taxpayer generosity to flit from one property to another. His extended family should be paying for the extra costs involved in their money making junkets around the world. Its not fair that the taxpayers are on the hook for everything which they make themselves richer off of our dime.
