Remember all those complaints about Obama’s vacations? They seem to take on a different meaning now that Lex Luthor is president. Everything about Obama bothered republicans. Lex railed about Obama’s birth certificate for years, until he became president and it didn’t bother him anymore.

Republican senators wanted Obama impeached just because of his birth place. Imagine the fury had Russia fixed the elections in Obama’s favor! In 2013, Republican congressman Kerry Bentivolio said about impeaching Obama, that “it would be a dream come true.”

Obama’s vacations was another thing that really chapped every republican politician’s ass. During his presidency, it seemed that no one was more irate with all the vacations that he took than The Donald,

“Can you believe that, with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.” Mr. Trump tweeted on Oct. 13, 2014. “Worse than Carter.”

A day later, he tweeted,

“We pay for Obama’s travel so he can fundraise millions so Democrats can run on lies. Then we pay for his golf.”

Apparently, The Donald has had a change of heart, because he is playing a lot of golf himself. Also, the amount of money him and his family vacationing has cost the taxpayer is quite astronomical.

The Donald’s three trips to his Mar-a-Lago resorts cost the U.S. Treasury roughly $11 million, including security and staffing costs, according to a Washington Post report. That is just in one month. Obama spent $12 million on vacations in one year! So us taxpayers paid our president $11 million to go on vacations!

Trump’s wife and kids have refused to live in the White House. Instead, they will be staying in Trump Towers. That means the Secret Service needs to fill up two floors of rooms in Trump Towers. And me and you get to pay for it. Because Baron does not want to go to a new middle school, me and you get douched with paying an extra $1 million a day for security, according to money.conn.

Keep in mind, I didn’t even mention the rest of his family flying all over the world and staying in Trump’s lavish resorts. Now we pay for that!

If this article has not infuriated you, this part will — guaranteed! All of this money is going into Trump’s pockets. He owns the resorts that he stays at every weekend, plus he owns the buildings that the Secret Service need to rent rooms. Trump might be a terrible president, but he will be the president that made the most financially of his position.
