Right Wing Heads Are Going To Explode
CBS This Morning just pointed out that Donald Trump's travel this year could cost more than the cost of President Obama's travel over eight years.
The reported began by mentioning that Trump has been at Mar-A-Lago for 11 of his 33 days in office and his three trips in a row have cost taxpayers about $10 million. Then there was a breakdown of the costs of getting Trump to and from Mar-A-Lago.
Next, the report brought up Trump's criticism of President Obama's presidential travel. Then it gave the cost of eight years of President Obama's travel followed by the tidbit that Trump was on pace to surpass that number by the end of this year.
The report then moved on to pointing out the cost in lost business when Trump travels to Mar-A-Lago. Because planes are grounded when Trump is in town nothing goes in and nothing goes out of the area.
As a result, the cost in lost business is $33,000 for each trip. The report ended on a high note for Trump in that someone who welcomed Trump's weekly travel was featured.
A high end boutique owner stated that Donald Trump's visits would increase the number of high end shoppers who would visit the area and that would help everyone at the high end of the scale.
I imagine Republicans are going to say, but, but, Donald Trump is not just traveling to play golf with his rich friends like President Obama did when he traveled around the world and the United States; Trump is working while at Mar-A-Lago.
I also imagine they will say, so what, Donald Trump needs a break because of the mess that President Obama left him and he is working so much harder than President Obama ever worked when he was in the White House.
They will most likely say they did not have a problem with President Obama taking vacations. They just did not like that he never seemed to do his job and he was taking vacations when so many Americans were trying to find jobs, but could not gain full time employment.
I am pretty certain they will claim 93 million American were unemployed during President Obama's time in office and that number has started to come down since Donald Trump election.
