Trump not concerned about Mar-a-lago costs, criticism
Source: MSN/The Hill
President Trump isn't concerned about the rising costs associated with his regular trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., the White House press secretary said Wednesday.
Sean Spicer addressed the topic during his briefing, when asked by Fox 5 DC's Ronica Cleary if Trump has "any concerns about the pushback" from Florida residents and taxpayers about those costs.
"No, he feels great," Spicer said.
Spicer added that such criticism did not play into Trump's decision to stay in Washington, D.C., last weekend and noted that Trump plans to remain in town this upcoming weekend as well.

Since he doesn't have to use his own jet and fuel, pay for the limo ride and that gas, no private security bills----------------amazing

(9,115 posts)Just because they were screaming and crying about the "massive costs", when they were lying about Obama's "profligate vacation spending, and laziness", doesn't mean they actually cared about presidential vacations and costs to taxpayers.
They just like screaming and crying, making everyone listen to their fake outrage and whinges. And they have zero values, integrity, or consistency. Complete liars and hypocrites, who don't give a shit about the country.

(8,361 posts)is within 10 miles of Mar-A-Lago, and is losing huge amounts of money when Trump is in town. As a small airport, they do most of their business on weekends when people are off work and fly for pleasure or take flying lessons. They are not allowed to fly out from the airport while trump is in town. It is also costing West Palm Beach, where AF-1 lands, many thousands of dollars every time he comes to Mar-A-Lago (in addition to the costs to Palm Beach). West Palm Beach has applied for federal assistance to pay for the extra security, but so far it's a no go.

We mainly voted for Hillary in PBC. PBC is blue, and diverse, and not Trumpers. Most of us are just regular Janes and Joes.

Peace and quiet.

(8,361 posts)you get used to and only notice when it is gone. All the lost taxes for taxpayers and all the lost work for the local airport workers and businesses are more worrisome (including all the inconvenience to local traffic of all kinds).
