How much money do we have to keep shelling out for travel/security for this asshole in the WH?

The obvious cruelty throughout Trump's smash-the-state budget shocked and awed America this week, but right after the thief-in-chief proposed to destroy an array of relatively low-cost federal programs that feed poor rural school children and keep grandmothers from freezing to death, he did something really extraordinary.

He flew to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. On our goddamn dime.


Politico estimates that his trip to the 'Southern White House' (gag) costs about $3 million each weekend. And he keeps going, weekend after weekend. He's conducting business there. Whose? His own, his family's, our America's? Who knows. Maybe the spies who have it locked down, because right now it looks like foreign espionage paradise.
