they are allowed to vacation, and this is the price we pay as americans for all first families. Each one is a bit different, but they are allowed to have fun like regular citizens (as much as they can make it regular). Malia Obama was had secret service with her at lollapollza for christ sake

Now my issue comes here--- this first family has or "claims" to have the money to finance much of their own life and security. They talked about draining the swamp...or maybe the swamp for everyone else. They are draining our resources with their lavish trips, as they know their events and endeavors are pricer than most.

They vowed to pay for much of their own things, but they have proven themselves to be like most rich people --- they love free shite and never like spending their own money.

They are leeches and like free handouts. they vowed to be different but couldn't even conceal their true colors for a year.

shouldn't be surprised by a bunch of kids that haven't work hard for penny in their lives. Their success is a large govt/daddy handout

Maybe some of Trump's $40 million in paid taxes for one year can cover it.

I feel guilty as frick for even collecting VA benefits that I earned. I would have 0 guilt for family vacas if I had paid in as much as The Donald over the years. Guy pays more in sales tax per year than most people do combined taxes for a lifetime.

My only potential issue with Trump is if he's creating a ton of financial burden for the areas he is traveling to, and if that travel is arguably unnecessary.

But I didn't pitch a fit when Obama went on trips and the like, and absent some really large excesses by Trump, I won't do it for him either.

Fair point, but the frequency of his winter White House trips is a bit alarming right now. Maybe it adds up to amount of vacation time obama took a year (around 3 weeks total a year). Maybe it'll tone down.

However he did claim he'd pay for his own stuff --- where was that? Was that another campaign lie to swoon his poor helpless voters?

He won't divest his interest --- therefore SS has to do details at many of his properties I believe.
