More expensive than Obama/Biden did in 8 years

I distinctly remember the outrage at Obama for his travel expenses.
The current expenses now dwarf the previous administration's yet where is the equivalent outrage?



.

"By one estimate the president has already rung up as much in travel costs as the Obama and Biden families did in eight years – all at the expense of taxpayers"

Trump on track to spend exorbitant amount of taxpayer dollars on travels

On top of that, perpetual world travel!

The American taxpayer is now their personal ATM.

And under secrecy of security requirements, unless we see tax records indicating what this is costing that family, we will never have anything more than guesstimates.
