President and family flew to Orlando in the afternoon to visit a school in order to push his education agenda
He is spending the rest of the weekend with his family in Palm Beach, at the 'winter White House' Mar-a-Lago

Dragging his whole family around, what does he think he's pulling...an Obama?

One wonders how they were able to get over their vicious outrage to simply accepting that presidents travel often. What is worse is Trump travels to his own properties, which means the taxpayer literally pays Trump for the pleasure of housing his security staff inside his hotel.

Hey don't worry i am sure he will cut something unimportant like VA care, food stamps or EPA to pay for all this travel.

I ma pretty sure he is paying out of pocket for his trips, he is a billionaire after all.

[Wyrt]

Those poor people who are going to lose their jobs and businesses because Trump keeps going there every weekend and shutting everything down.

oh you know whom is paying out of their pockets, and its not trumpo

[Celista]

Man, being president is hard stuff if you're on vacation all the time. I've never taken an actual vacation, it must be because I'm a slacker and inefficient with my time.

Secret Service and use of Air Force One adds up, it's more expensive if he goes out in public then if he was at the White House.

[Mad_Murdock]

Some of you are going to have a really rough 4 years.

[Theodarzna]

I need to become President of the United States. It seems like my kinda work pace.

[Video Games]

No he shouldn't go on vacation, but the fact that you people even care so much is dumb.

Well, for one, it's really bad for the businesses that are out there who make most of their money on the weekend.

Second, it should be a concern if he's using his position as president to personally enrich himself.

Really? Then it's time you treat yourself!

Vacationer-in-chief.

Lets see, there is quite a bit for the American people to care about.

1. He is spending taxpayer dollars at HIS properties, which means his so called $1 salary, went from $1 to HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS A WEEKEND.
2. Him taking this many vacations, means his budgets for vacations is going up. Obama spent about $10-11 million a year for vacations, and it wasn't to anything he owned that would make him money. Trump has been president for 6 fucking weeks, and he has spent over $12 million on vacations already.
3. This isn't even taking into account what Melania is using for her security detail at Trump Tower in NYC. I believe the Secret Service is also renting space at Trump Tower for Melania, which also enriches Trump more.

Not to mention the damage being done to local businesses. A lot of roadways get shut down, as well as the airport used. There are a lot of locals that are very unhappy with this happening every weekend, and it's hurting many businesses bottom lines there.

Yep. The people in the area hate that they lose hundreds of thousands of dollars to that area. The airport has to shut down when he comes. They have to close off roads and whatnot. I watched a video of it on an interview, they may have voted for him, but I think they are regretting it now.

I care quite a bit when each trip to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers $3 million.

Let's not forget that this was a man who made a big deal out of the fact that he would forego a salary. That salary, over an entire four year term, would be less than we spend on a single one of his weekends of golf.

This wouldn't have even been a big deal if not for the massive hypocrisy surrounding it.

He's using taxpayer money to directly fund his own business, while taking a substantial portion (it's been HOW many days since Jan 20?) of his time to not do his job. Remember, this is a man who was too busy Tweeting to deal with the Yemen raid he ordered that fucked up so badly, and he was giving a campaign speech on an aircraft carrier with a mission accomplished banner sorry wrong guy while Sessions was imploding. Can he really be that exhausted six weeks in that he needed five weekends off?

There is no ACA bill. There is no tax bill. There is no Muslim Ban replacement. Obviously I don't mind, but surely his voters do? Already Ryan had to change the narrative of First 100 Days to First 200 Days, because Trump isn't interested in doing his job.

Five weekends in six weeks is still a pretty big deal. Plus campaign speeches.

[Zantos]

Nah he clearly meant the dipshits that sit around and find something to bitch about all day that they quite obviously don't really care about.

Go ahead and get out all of the bad feelings, preferably with your face stuffed in a pillow. The world will keep spinning.

I mean, when its literally Us who are paying for it through the taxes forced out of our checks, then of course people will be mad. I had 12% of my last check taken for taxes. That money is going to this man to pay Himself for his vacations. I can't even afford to miss work on a sick day, yet here he is, blowing the money the government took out of my check, just to go on vacation and spend millions at his hotels, thus, giving himself the money.

I can understand the anger. As a tax payer, you should be at least a little upset that Your money is funding this instead of going to you to pay for bills, or to buy things you want.

I envy whoever becomes 46. Can you imagine walking into that job, being the person who's taking over from the human shit stain? It's like being the new hire at the office after the last guy got hired, they're impressed that you managed to show up to work on time.

Yeah. I'm thinking this year! Canadian road trip or Europe for a couple weeks.

Yeah, I feel really bad for those folks. I get that the president needs a vacation, and sometimes they want to go to a resort or something rather than Camp David etc., but disrupting a local community this much this often is ludicrous. Extremely self centered and thoughtless on his part.
