Obama's vacations cost taxpayers between $85M-$96M

That's over an eight year span.

Today, we're a little less than a month into the Trump presidency. Here's where we stand thus far:

$7 million for his Thanksgiving vacation to Mar-a-Lago. (Technically, he was still President-elect at the time, but we still paid for it).

$9 million for the three consecutive weekend trips to Mar-a-Lago (including the scheduled trip this weekend).

$1.5 million for local, county, and state law enforcement in Florida.

In addition, we've spent $400,000 - $500,000 a day for security at Trump Tower and $100,000 for Eric Trump to go on a business trip.

On the low end, that's an additional $10.1M; on the high end, it's $12.6M. And that only includes the costs incurred since Inauguration. If you include his trip as President-elect, we've spent at least $30.1M for vacations to Mar-a-Lago & his wife's accommodations in NYC.

If you exclude that pre-inaugural Thanksgiving trip, then it's still at least $23.1M, and again, we're only a month in.

At the current rate, Donald Trump's expenses will surpass the combined total of all eight years of Barack Obama's in less than 4 months.

If he stays in office for 8 years & his wife continues to live in NYC, at the current rate, we would be on the hook for more than $2.2B.
