Trump’s travel costs since June 2018 to Jan 2019 totaled $3,199,188.30 Report by Judicial Watch
It is time to make the public aware of how much of our tax payer dollars are spent on Trump's overly excessive travel and cap how much is spent. There is no reason for the president to leave the White House on a weekly basis to spend time at his properties and/or rallies. Taxpayers shoulder the expenses that Trump’s Secret Service detail incurs along with room, board, airfare, their salaries and the property has to be guarded by air and water during his stays.
Why is this important?
Our national debt is out of control. His travel has racked up millions of taxpayer dollars and has benefited his organization expeditiously. The previously administration spent $70 million on travel over eight years! He has no conscience when it comes to spending others money. All of us are paying for him to attend Republican rallies and that should be paid for by his party. Not independents and democrats. It's time to open the books for Americans to see these expenses and the appropriations committee to reign in these excessive expenses to start.
