Full title.......................His and Hers jets, paid for with YOUR tax dollars: Melania adds another $100,000 to Trump's massive travel tab as she flies separately to Mar-a-Lago with Barron........................Melania Trump flew separately to join President Trump for a long Easter weekend at Mar-a-Lago, getting the chance for some quality family time – while also contributing to her husband's growing taxpayer-paid travel tab.

The first lady arrived in West Palm Beach Thursday on a government aircraft – the military version of a Boeing 757, about 6:30pm, just minutes before her husband landed on Air Force One.

Vice President Mike Pence took the same plane Melania used to a conference in Munich earlier this year.

The first lady lives at Trump Tower with her and the president's son, Barron, whose private school in New York is off this week for spring break.

The per-hour cost of operating the plane is $15,846, meaning the total trip cost was at least $100,000.

Remember how the media railed against the extravagant costs of Barry and Michaels travel and vacations?
__________________________________________
NO.
However, it is remembered the two Os and their Yuge entourage did manage to rack up millions of dollars in travel. Be it to Paris, (France, that is), Vail, Africa, and anywhere else they wished to go in gallivanting around the globe.

Double Dare this bird cage liner to compare side by side the costs of both administrations. Liberals = no sense of mathematics.

Gosh, I may have missed the part about Mullah Obama’s secret service detail expense on Brando Island for a month. I’m sure that was covered....

That could be. I wouldn’t trust it.

He is working 16 hours a day and his agenda will not be thwarted. The MSM has nothing to bitch about except Kushner and Bannon. They cannot keep up from one week to the next without a new story.

I wonder why.........

But we sure kept track of his travel expenses here. One of those things everyone switches their opinion on when the White House changes hands. Principles? Faggeddaboutit.

That 97 million dollar estimate is an order of magnitude low.

For the eight years, 0bama family travel cost taxpayers nearly a billion dollars.

The Mooch, Spawn and Entourage’s Excellent African Adventure alone cost $300,000,000

Of course not. The only to get the attention of a limey communist is to walk into the restaurant where they’re grunting down a plate of fish and chips, grab that plate and smash it into their limey faces.

You know, I wonder how much of the expenses Trump pays himself???

I seriously doubt Obama paid any...

But Trump has a different mindset....

Yet, if she says she’s going to stay home at Trump Towers, people complain.
