First of all, he has a big family. What do you want him to do about that?

Second, Mar a Lago is being used for presidential business. Not all presidents use Camp David. Bush favored Crawford and Obama travelled all over the damn place constantly.

The media is only labeling it as "vacation" to beat back a key conservative critique of O; vacation spending. In other words, #fakenews.

Compared to what?

Transsexual acceptance?
Erosion of religious liberty?
Importation of Muslims?

As long as he's spending it on enumerated powers (actual defense, roads, etc) I'm not too upset by it. I'm still very skeptical about the Trump administration, so I'll be watching him, but I haven't seen enough to be too "triggered" yet.

I didn't have a problem protecting Obama'a family, why would I have a problem protecting Trump's?

but the spending on the security for him and his entire family as well as all of his vacations already have me quite concerned with the total for security costs by the end of his four or eight years


As a conservative, I'm very concerned with spending, but it has nothing to do with what is quoted above. We have much bigger issues.

Hell no! The Obamas vacationed at perverse expense to taxpayers, even when you strip away presidential business handled abroad.
