Trump's unstructured, unlogged #ExecutiveTime mornings are just the tip of the iceberg. This White House has shredded transparency measures and fired record keepers.
NEW YORK (AP) â President Donald Trump's four trips to his Mar-a-Lago resort in early 2017 cost taxpayers nearly $14 million, a watchdog report Tuesday said.
Trump is the National Emergency #TaxpayerScam
It actually cost more than $3.4 Million per trip because Trump wonât release the information. And then thereâs the issue of Trump working 40% of the time while being paid as a full-time employee by YOU â the American Taxpayer.
The Government Accountability Office said travel and accommodations, Secret Service expenses, deployment of bomb-sniffing dogs and other costs for the trips between February 3 and March 5 in 2017 tallied to $13.6 million. About $60,000 of the tab went directly to Mar-a-Lago.Â
The GAO report provides one of the clearest pictures yet of the costs of the president's travel, and how much of that money goes back to his own properties.
The GAO report was requested by Democratic members of Congress, including California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings.
The nonpartisan research group for Congress also found that Secret Service costs for three trips abroad by Trumpâs two adult sons and their spouses in early 2017 ran to $396,000.Â
Who else was there? #TrumpSWAMP
The GAO also didnât include costs incurred by officials of the Executive Office of the President because the White House did not respond to a request for the data.

WH: Trump meant to say, âworking 40% of his ass offâÂ
The White House is in full panic mode after a major leak confirmed that the president of the United States spends most of his day doing absolutely nothing. Of course, his schedule doesnât say that heâs doing absolutely nothing, but that is, in fact, what heâs doingânothing.

Daily Obama reminds us that former Presidents worked every single day, without the need for #executivetime aka. #romperroom for #twitler. Reposted from @petesouza - During the eight years of the Obama administration, I documented every meeting including those that were impromptu like this one with Jeff Zients and Denis McDonough. I also photographed every head of state phone call he had. All of the photographs, and the written records of meetings and phone calls, were transferred to the National Archives on 1/20/2017. For the current administration, those records and photographsâif they existâreside at the White House. Wonder if they keep records of television time? đ #throwshadethenvote - #regrann #ThanksObama #MyPresident #AlwaysMyPresident #PeteSouza https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgJBp-hwFA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10bmtpg5k08sx
Meanwhile, he just spent his eighth consecutive weekend away from the White House.
I don't ever think I'd see anything â I just wanna stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right?" he continued. "Who's gonna leave?" Â - Donald J. Trump, Feb. 2016
Daily Obama reminds us that former Presidents worked every single day of their presidency, without needing #executivetime. Reposted from @petesouza - During the government shutdown of 2013 (thank you Ted Cruz), POTUS and the VP ventured out to Taylor Gourmet, who was offering a discount for lunch to furloughed workers (chef Jose Andres and others gave free lunches in 2019). VP Biden had the cash and paid (full-price) for the lunch. Didnât see any pictures like this of Comrade Minus during the last four weeks. đ #throwshadethenvote - #regrann #ThanksObama #MyPresident #AlwaysMyPresident #PeteSouza https://www.instagram.com/p/Btc_ehYhy67/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xj63la6nfteu
