Did former President Obama try to co-opt media coverage of President Donald Trump's international trip by making Italy his first stop in an all-expenses paid trip around the world? Isn't this the first time that a former president traveled a route nearly parallel with that of the new President?
Obama departed for Italy on Friday, one day before the People's President embarked for Saudi Arabia. The Obama private jet was encircled by six Eurofighter Fourth Wing fighter jets en route to Italy for his five day stay at the $15,000 a night Borgo Finocchieto, thirteenth century restored village, owned by Obama friend, former US Ambassador to Italy, John Phillips.
The Obama entourage consisted of a 13 car motorcade which included an armored Chevrolet to protect the former Commander in Chief. President Trump flew into Saudi Arabia on Air Force One, accompanied by The Beast--the president's very own, specially made, armored transport vehicle which was safely stored in the back of his plane!
Obama stayed in the once owned Borghese family villa just 45 minutes south of Florence. He’s about a one hour flight from President Trump who will be staying at the US Air Force Signorella military base in Taormina, Sicily. "Taormina's roads are too narrow and bendy for the US President's car; his motorcade is longer than the distances it would have to cover during the G7summit," reports Italy's La Repubblica. Because of the security nightmare, President Trump's overnight accommodations while in Italy have been changed from the Hotel Timeo, where Germany's Angel Merkel and Japan's Shinzo Abe were booked during their visits, to the Signorello base.
Flying over the tiny towns and roads in the Mount Etna region to the summit, President Trump will look down from his vantage point aboard his military helicopter. This decision to change...

He got himself a 2 million dollar per year raise just before he left office. Yeah, that's 2 million on top of what all president's get when they leave office.
NO wonder he is able to be on constant vaycay.
I hope he pi$$ed off all the locals for jamming up traffic.
All expenses paid? By whom?? Do we pay anything any former president wants? WHY??
Do you see why, after we get justice for Seth Rich, we need to revisit legally Obama’s eligibility? If he is proven never to have been eligible, yet left in freedom (we are too ballless to throw him in jail), at the very least we can strip him of all lifetime salaries and benefits.
Is he going to pay income tax on his gift?

Finocchietto? What an appropriate name for this effete poseur.

Who writes this Krappe? Ok. kids! For a Tootsie Roll Pop, what’s wrong with that sentence?
Seen President Bush around Dallas on occasion. I think he has two SUV’s and that’s it. Obama has to feed his ego with all of this entourage.
And the final stop in Sicily? With the fashion and activities, it evokes images of what it must have been like when Cleopatra Selena and Juba 2 made triumphant visits to Rome! (does anyone know that historic reference?)
I gush. We all should. We need to drown out the coup against global civilization, mastered by the EU, Obama and his owners, and globalist elitists and bankers!
I suspect that the trip for Trump and his entourage didn’t cost as much as Obama’s.
There has to be some type of bonus $’s payimg for the most stupid and poorly written fake news about President Trump.
Yet, we're still a bunch of oppressive racists according to a certain demographic.
He got himself a 2 million dollar per year.
He must have went to the Hillary classes.
Trump and Congress needs to rescind it.
And, he doesn't bung up the traffic like Obungo.
Agree and remove many other scams the hacks use.
Remember when a congressman would buy a book of stamps with a $35.00 check.
