Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month – almost as much as Obama’s cost in a year

I think it's surprising that a 47-year-old ex-model wouldn't want to spend every possible moment with her obnoxious, loud, petulant, thin-skinned, overweight 70-year-old orange husband. I suppose some things will always remain a mystery.
Exactly. It's the small details, the unfiltered moments, that tell the tale.
My guess is according to her plan he'd be dead by now and she'd living off a muiti million dollar inheritance

Congress reportedly sets aside $120 million for Trump family security
11 Hours Ago CNBC.com
A spending bill that Congress looks set to pass this week would put more than $120 million in new money toward Trump family security, The New York Times reported, citing legislation circulated Monday.
It comes as the Secret Service and some localities have strained to cover the costs of protecting President Donald Trump and his family, including for the business or leisure travel of his adult children. Some Democrats have criticized the rising security costs for taxpayers.
The first family travels frequently, ranging from business trips to Vancouver and Dubai by Trump's adult sons, to ski weekends in Colorado and British Columbia by Ivanka Trump, the Times reported.
Roughly half of the funding would go to the Secret Service, according to the newspaper. It would cover costs while Trump is traveling and security money for Trump Tower in New York, where the president's wife, Melania, and youngest son, Barron, live.
Most of the remaining funding could be used to pay back localities, the Times reported. New York City and Palm Beach County — where Trump frequently travels to his Mar-a-Lago resort — have borne extra costs since he took office.

Obama always wanted to be Trump:
Fox-
More than two decades before he railed against Donald Trump’s “temperament” and “core values,” a young Barack Obama dreamed of becoming the billionaire businessman.
Obama revealed his idolization of The Donald – and what he stood for – in a never-published book written with a classmate during his Harvard Law School days, portions of which are published in the upcoming Obama biography “Rising Star.”
Americans have a “continuing normative commitment to the ideals of individual freedom and mobility,” Obama wrote in the manuscript, revealed in a Washington Post book review. “The depth of this commitment may be summarily dismissed as the unfounded optimism of the average American — I may not be Donald Trump now, but just you wait; if I don’t make it, my children will.”

Obama used his gov't credit card once in office to live the donald life. On us, though. What a freeloader.

Trump told Melania to stay behind in NY so he could rent the secret service that whole floor.
