“It would cots ten times as much to do public events all over America than for Trump to go to one of his resorts.”

Prove that it would cost 10 times more if Trump didn’t go to his own resort.

The big issue is that since Trump is staying at his own resorts, he makes money for the secret service and associated staff to stay there too. Unless he’s giving these rooms gratis (and he’s never indicated that is the case), we the taxpayers are essentially giving Trump money. I don’t know why you’d be OK with that.

“Oh, the Obama’s we famous for how their children took their own vacations to places like Jamaica on top of the family vacations, those would cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars over the 8 years so let’s not pretend like Trump’s costs are more than Obama’s, you have to include all the costs for all of his family and events.”

Each of Trump’s trips to Florida cost the taxpayers about $3 million, each. So far that is roughly $9 million. Add the extra costs for Melania and Barron to live at Trump Tower and Don Jr. and Eric’s trips to promote the Trump Organization and it’s obvious that Trump will cost the taxpayers many more times what the Obama’s did.
