On Friday, President Trump and his entourage will jet for the third straight weekend to a working getaway at his oceanfront Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. On Saturday, Trumps sons Eric and Don Jr., with their Secret Service details in tow, will be nearly 8,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates, attending the grand opening of a Trump-brand golf resort in the Beverly Hills of Dubai.

The more journalists assigned to a hit piece, the more lies it contains.
“Taxpayer expense”; a phrase not heard from the MSM/DNC in eight years.
And not a peep from the Post on all the Obama trips/vacations/getaways/fundraisers.
How long before the articles on the homeless?
So this is their revenge for Trump’s dressing them down in his presser yesterday.
They still don’t get it. Get used to it for the next 8 years.
What’s more lies in the service of the Democratic Party?
This is why the public doesn’t trust the media.
No government employee should take vacations at taxpayer expense. No weekend holidays on the people’s dime. Pretty simple. As much as I like and appreciate Donald Trump, the same applies to him.
The Washington Post bitching about the Trump family’s “elaborate lifestyle”? That’s pretty damned rich ain’t it? I don’t recall them having a thing to say about the incredible cost of the Obamas’ vacations, some of which were taken with a battalion-size force of their “friends” and political allies and some of which were taken without Hussein himself.
One very positive effect of Trump’s election is that it’s revealing the media for exactly who they are and it’s especially encouraging to see that neither the media nor the Democratic Party itself have a clue why Trump won.
Now liberals are concerned about prudence in public spending.
What a knee slapper. Under Obama, none of that was ever a concern.
Opposition party, indeed.
For all we know, obamas mil is still living at the white house
They forgot to mention Trump is taking only a $1 as a nominal salary.
Nothing burger is what Mr. Wonderful on Shark Tank calls it.
They’re kidding, right? With this kind of “reporting,” I’m out.
Trump’s sons have SS wherever they are so what. And they likely are flying on company money not taxpayer. And Trump isn’t taking a large salary and Melania does not have the huge staff Moochele had so they save us money.
Trump works on the weekends.
To be sure, he hits the golf course with guests.
But considering he works full time during the week for a pittance, he can indulge a little.
Obama never put in a full week’s work and the media never called him on it.
Washington Post, thy name is hypocrisy!
NOW, NOW...do be fair, there were at least 4-5 basketballs also taken on the same plane. ;)
Trump’s comments yesterday are quite correct, the people see stuff like this, they know what it is, they know it’s hypocrisy. They are tired of it.

I remember Laura Bush saying living in the WH was not a free ride. The Bush family was responsible for personal expenses, including groceries for the private quarters.
I would be shocked if President Trump turned personal expenses into official expenses, unlike his predecessor.
But none of these articles will explore the breakdown of expenses & payments. Doesn't fit the narrative.
BTW-Presidents are now expected to remain in DC because of the cost to municipalities if POTUS comes to town? God, I loathe these people.
Trump,is going to his home at mar a lago,every weekend
Its a 2.5 hour flight
He’d use his own plane if he could
I’m sure security would be tight even if liberals weren’t encouraging everyone to kill him and his children too
Obama didn’t have 5 children, 4 living independently and 3 with large families
Might as well deal with it
I Think we’re getting our money’s worth out of his presidency
0bungler squandered some $84million on personal vacations alone. That figure does not include the amount of taxpayer dollars wasted using Air Force 1 as his personal taxi while wasting more money shilling for Hillary
