CNN: ‘Trump’s Weekends at Mar-a-Lago Are Costing U.S. Taxpayers Big Money’

RUSH EXCERPT:

MALVEAUX: His fancy Florida estate, his go to for getting work done. Hosting Japan’s prime minister. But President Trump’s weekends at Mar-a-Lago are costing U.S. taxpayers big money. From firing up air force one to fly to Florida with traveling staff, to securing the beach front property with coast guard patrols. The Washington Post estimates the trip so far have cost up to $10 million in just five weeks. And at the same time, taxpayers are also footing the bill to operate camp David. The secluded presidential retreat less than 70 miles from the White House. Set aside for presidential down time and diplomacy, even dormant, it costs an estimated $8 million a year to run. Trump has expressed little interest in using the cheaper alternative. Describing the retreat to reporters as very rustic, saying, it’s nice, you’d like it. You know how long you’d like it? For about 30 minutes."
