15k a hour to fly. Anyone have the total hours obama and mooch flew in AF1 and her private AF1? 220k was the cost for her one trip to Aspen.

By the way Daily Mail, I am more than happy for my tax dollars to go to this.

Thanks Daily Mail your selective outrage is noted and laughed at as the pathetic fake new demagoguery it is.

Supposedly the total travel for the Obamas over eight years was about $97MM.

Hell....Obama and Moochelle flew separately to Hawaii. I think even the dogs flew separately once.

But President Trump has saved billions elsewhere. Fake Story.

I’m sure Melania would have flown on her own plane (TRUMP AIR) if she was permitted to do so

So what are they - and we- supposed to do?

I believe he already saved enough taxpayer money by shaving defense contracts to pay his and her weekend expenses for the next 4 years

Remember how the media railed against the extravagant costs of Barry and Michaels travel and vacations?

Yeah, me either.

Take it out of the salary that he is not collecting. I love the fake outrage.

I wonder why Trump goes to Mar-A-Lago as frequently as he goes. You can make all sorts of DC cesspool jokes, but there has got to be a logical reason for his travel. He knows the optics aren’t *good* when he goes there every weekend and the press love pointing out what it costs for the POTUS to travel.

I tend to think there might be some concern about the WH being bugged or something along those lines. Yes, its conjecture, but its not totally unfounded nonsense, paranoia talk given the Rice news.

Does anyone else have any insight? Chances are he goes there since any sane person would choose Florida over D.C ... but there might be more to it.

I believe that Judicial Watch, hardly a left-wing organization, estimated that the Obama's leisure-related travel for his two terms cost the tax payers $97 million. They also did the $3.6 million estimate for the Mar a Largo trips.

When the Trump Administration travel cost get to $600 Million, give us a call. That is the amount he has already saved on the F35 program.

At least the taxpayers are not paying for trips by Bill Clinton to Pedophile Island!

Oh, bite me. I don’t remember any outrage when Ebola and beard took separate enormous planes when they went vacay.

If they covered the same story on the Obamas, they would be praising how Michelle sacrifices to take a separate to see her husband. They flew to Hawaii on a number of occasions.

Those Brits are great Hypocrites these days. Of course, they spend tons of pounds on their Queen and family.

God save the Queen ... from any inconvenience...

Do we KNOW that they’re flying on the govt. dime?

I was assuming the Trumps would use their own money for stuff like this but I don’t know... just wondering if anyone does know.

It doesn’t matter. This isn’t something you really want to keep score on.

A President and his family should not be financially encumbered because he or she is president or first lady, first bro.
