Trump, "I will rarely leave the White House"

In the past, Trump has been sharply critical of the costs of presidential travel. He lambasted President Obama on Twitter for millions of dollars of "unbelievable!" travel expenses –- and suggested he spent more time golfing and campaigning than working for the American people.
In 2015, Trump went so far as to publicly pledge that he would "rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done," The Hill reported. But so far, Trump has shown no indication he’s looking to cut down on his own presidential travel.
The Trump administration won’t provide dollar figures for the initial trips to Florida, but one presidential trip to the Palm Beach area in 2013 cost taxpayers around $3 million dollars, according to a Government Accountability Office (GAO) estimate from 2016
The New York City Police Department says it spends $500,000 a day just to protect the president’s midtown residence at Trump Tower.
Maybe he can donate his salary toward travel and golf.

He's already outspent Obama's annual travel budget in about a month+.

Hi there.
Donald Trump lies a lot. His supporters love him for it. -
You can bet Gary Johnson would never load the taxpayer with such expense as He appeared that He would have truly feared to leave the White House.

I was expecting way more humor out of this. He is rapidly turning into a turd. -
it's almost like his administration is not being transparent

So we're just taking Tommy's bullshit at face value?

The conservative blogger that kept track of every dollar spent on Obama's travel said he averaged $11M a year, and that each of Trump's trips to Mar a Lago costs taxpayers over $3M. Do the math.RaceBannon said:So we're just taking Tommy's bullshit at face value?
In super shocking news, he hasn't updated the watch dog blog since it became clear that Trump is going to spend several hundred million more than Obama.

11m a year? Bullshit

Math is hard
It costs 3 million to go to his own house in Florida
Obama would go to Martha's Vinyard and Hawaii among other trips and totaled 11 million?
Critical thinking guys. Try it
