It won't take long. You're forgetting that FLOTUS lives in NY and those costs apply to her also. How many times has she flown back and forth from NY to either DC or FL without trump?

Then he pockets hundreds of thousands of dollars for each of these "non-vacations."
Seriously...? Obama is old news. You'd better worry about your boy being in bed with Vlad.
Membership fees doubled to $200K at Mar-a-Lago after the election, what a coinkydink.
I think there's an ethical question over him doing this. Obviously he's profiting from his office.
As far as the ethical part of the President owning a club that people belong to and pay money to join the ethical question is a legitimate one. I don't know if we've had situations like this in the past and if we have how they have been dealt with.
So if it costs $228K for one hour of flight time, trump's annual salary would pay for less than one round-trip flight from NY to FL for Melania.
How funny that you constantly bring up Obama when his and trump's situations were completely different. Melania isn't living in the WH; Melania isn't doing anything as FLOTUS except for being on hand for a couple of foreign leader visits; Melania's been back and forth to FL at least three times since the inauguration and perhaps a few times to DC.
Maybe trump the billionaire (ha ha) should pick up the tab for the flights since this couple is leading separate lives.
"The resort had been considering an increase for some time, said those people, who declined to provide their names.."
I'm guessing "some time" translates to November 9, 2016, and the people "who declined to provide their names" are Don Jr. and Eric Trump.
I don't get it......Trump hasn't taken ANY vacation yet...where does Jarod get this stuff?
Profiteering:
Disproportionately large or grossly unfair profit, generated often through manipulation of prices, abuse of dominant position, or by exploiting a bad or unusual situation such as temporary scarcity. There is usually no governmental control over profiteering unless it involves illegal means.
Most of the D.C. political class leaves in August. Where should W have been?
YEs and Trump is already averaging more than Obama did.
No, a man who constantly tried to ridicule the previous president for playing golf, getting elected president then proceeding to play more golf on average bothers me.
I really don't care how much trump goes on Vacation or how much he flies around in the plane. In fact I prefer he go on a full time vacation.
The only reason I love posting these threads is because of how much Trump harped on Obama for less golf and less vacationing.
Four weeks in office, third vacation!
a) Republicans should give Trump a pass on this, as they rarely violate the Reagan rule.
b) Democrats should laud Trump for it; as when President Trump is vacationing, he's not creating Oval Orifice trouble.

The only criticism I think is valid about W's vacation is that he remained on vacation while New Orleans droned, and maybe that he was on vacation the 28 days prior to 9-11. I don't care about the number of vacations W took, and to W's credit he never harped on anyone else for taking vacations.
OK, Conjob.
Maybe working with Condi Rice on National Security, he had just been warned, "Bin Laden determined to strike on U.S. Soil."
