    Has it been every single weekend since he was sworn in?

    I just saw a report that so far Trump has spent 31% of his presidency at Mar A Lago. Which whatever... who cares, but it has ALREADY cost American tax payers 10 Million dollars. Camp David costs like 8 million A YEAR to maintain & have Presidents retreat at. Plus its secure as hell where you're not discussing foreign policy at the hotel wine bar.

    Fiscal conservatives you say...... The phony Republicans need to be called out for the BS every day.

    He's very content to go be Trump while letting his underlings do the actual work of governance.

    I'm assuming he still has his 1-page briefing read to him on speakerphone at night-night time.

    Yes, cutting the NEA is needed to pay for Trump's Mar A Lago trips. I mean NEA grants benefit artists audiences and the American Culture in general, but that's not as important as Trump going to Mar A Lago.

    Or we could be talking about his proposed 25% cut (3000 jobs!) to the EPA so he can fund his increased military budget.

    Because not taking a salary will clearly compensate for the millions of excessive dollars he is spending at the taxpayer's expense. Oy vey.

    No clue.

    I never fell for his cheesy salary scheme but I also don't care if he wastes tens of millions on transportation if it helps him be a better the President.

    The real issue is that he is a compulsive liar. His level of dishonesty is so far beyond any prior President that it is dangerous.

    The gold course seems to be the only place where he is somewhat competent and in his element.

    Is he paying for all these weekend trips himself?

    Truthfully he should be able to live or stay anywhere he wants as long as the Secret Service believes it can be secured, but probably even if they don't. Didn't the Vice President used to have to buy his own place before they refurbished the Naval Observatory?

    omg, this has to be one of the most stupid points to make ever. His trips cost millions, the fact that he has to have 24/7 security at Trump tower costs millions, the fact that his family needs to be protected and also take trips with him costs millions.

    but but it's all ok because he's forgoing a few hundred k a year in salary.

    Just LOL at all the liberals' puckered butts in this thread.

    I guess you've already forgotten about Obama's lavish Hawaiian vacations and all his golf - even after an American was beheaded by ISIS for the first time.

    We certainly remember all of your complaints about Obama playing golf. And, we also remember how you you haven't complained at all about Trump, even though he started playing golf shortly after the inauguration ceremony and hasn't missed a round since. Hypocrisy much?

    Trump on track to spend exorbitant amount of taxpayer dollars on travels
    By one estimate the president has already rung up as much in travel costs as the Obama and Biden families did in eight years – all at the expense of taxpayers

    Of course, hypocrisy seems the theme of the Trump presidency and his supporters:
