It's reported that every time Donald Trump travels from Washington D C to his golf resort at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, it costs American taxpayers about $3.6 million. That's $3,600,000.00 - one beaucoup bucket of bucks. When one considers further that The Donald has made the trek at least nine times since his inauguration, we're looking at a price tag that would give many pause.
But not the Bloviator in Chief. He's cleaning up as well as having fun, since it's been estimated that nearly $1 million per year will go into the coffers of the Trump Organization as a result of these and other similar visits. What's even more distressing is the fact that the money spent on Trump at Mar-a-Lago could have funded a year’s worth of meals for 9,000 Meals on Wheels recipients,
six years of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, or 7,000
Pell grants to help low-income students pay for college, among other
options.
