Truly bizarre behavior by 45...

Also side note: so Trump won't pay $3 million a year for meals on wheels for the elderly, because it's 'not getting results' (apparently feeding the elderly and infirm doesn't count as 'results' for trump).

YET

It's costing taxpayers more than $3 million every time he spends the weekend at Mar a Lago or other Trump branded properties.

That's not even counting the fortune it costs housing Melanie and Baron in Trump tower. (side note: Trump never sees Baron. Can you imagine if Obama or Dubya or Clinton had a young child they never saw? Would have been total outrage).

I detest Barack Obama. But just for comparison Obama cost us $10-$12 million per year in travel expenses.

Drumpf has already cost taxpayers ~$17 million in travel expenses since his inauguration! (Again not counting the millions it costs to house Melanie and Baron outside the White House).

On top of that Trump's budget is a joke: he's slashing vital services across the board in favor of military spending (for what is already the most bloated and excessive military budget in world history) and giant tax cuts for the 1/10th of 1%.

So he's attacking the very voters who got him elected.

Look, we haven't had a president who was worth a damn in 50 years.

But 45 is on a different level of corrupt, brazen, and idiotic.

And that's not even getting into his Russian oil investments.
