Liberal group launches site tracking Trump's Mar-a-Lago trips
Source: CBS News
With President Donald Trump spending many weekends away at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, the liberal Center for American Progress (CAP) Action Fund is launching a website to track the cost and timing of Mr. Trump’s Palm Beach trips.
The CAP Action Fund this week launched the website, “Is Trump At Mar-a-Lago,” ( https://istrumpatmaralago.org ) which will analyze how much U.S. taxpayers spend on Trump’s security and other related costs, and what those funds could cover instead. Trump is facing increasing scrutiny for frequent trips to his “Southern White House,” which are costing taxpayers millions. Mr. Trump has been criticized for authorizing the strike on a Syrian airbase last week while meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping at his luxurious club.
Mr. Trump’s frequent Mar-a-Lago meetings with foreign dignitaries and U.S. officials have also raised ethics concerns, as they take place on private property, away from public view. Democrats introduced a bill last month to publish public visitor logs for Mar-a-Lago, so taxpayers can see who had access to the president -- and when.
The Government Accountability Office has agreed to probe whether Mar-a-Lago has a secure space for classified communications, if screening measures used on guests meet security standards, and how the government ensures that travel-related expenses are reasonable. The CAP Action’s new website will use GAO figures.

I object to having millions of our hard-earned tax dollars being squandered by republicans to pay for gourmet golf outings and "beautiful chocolate cakes" for the self-proclaimed republican "billionaire" Tax-&-Draft Dodger-in-Chief.
republican family-values role model Comrade Casino needs to pull himself up by his own freaking Gucci bootstraps, and stop sponging off the American public as a freaking RWP - Republican Welfare Princeling.
... who is coming to have secret meetings with him in Palm Beach?
You know, like Russians maybe, or go-betweens who are bringing messages from Pootie?
Trump can't have any secret meetings in Washington DC because he's under so much scrutiny there.
THAT's why he goes to Florida so much. Why can't the CAP give us that info too?
Just sayin'
