Yes, we remember so well all the similar stories of concern about overtime incurred during the Obamas ramblings; their “date nights”, extended world spanning vacation trips, Hawaii, Martha’s vineyard, and let’s not forget Barack’s golf trips.
Oh wait - now I remember - there weren’t any overtime stories at all about the Obamas, were there?
Remember whenever Kennedy was in Palm Beach how traffic was disrupted? No difference!!!! President Trump is costing much less than Obama vacations cost. What was the cost of obama’s going to New York for a Broadway show????? etc. etc. etc.
and how about their damned dog???????????????????????????
Probably zero. He stayed on the Air Force Base (or whatever the military installation is there).
My trips to Palm Beach haven't coincided with Trump's since the inauguration but I we overlapped twice while he was President-Elect. The only additional security I saw were several Coast Guard boats patrolling the Intracoastal. (To be sure, I avoided driving past Mar-a-Lago but I did see his plane parked at the airport with no obvious additional security visible from the passenger terminal.)
Next visit for me is in two weeks.

Call me when Donald and Melania start taking separate 747s on vacation because she wanted to leave two hours before he did.
Any president, anytime, anywhere, creates a man-hour demand on local law enforcement. This is not news.
Any reports on how much the left wing rioters are costing?
