Trump Likely To Vist Mar-A-Lago Every Weekend Until May [View all]
CNN is reporting that businesses near Mar-A-Lago have been told Trump will not be at Mar-A-Lago next weekend because he will be preparing for his speech before a joint session of Congress. However, on March 4, he will resume his weekend trips and will return to Mar-A-Lago every weekend until May.

So, at $3 million a weekend, taxpayers could end up paying $27 million for Trump's trips if he stops going at to Mar-A-Lago at the end of April. If he stops at the end of may the cost will rise to $39 million. All of Trump's travel to Mar-A-Lago in the first 4-5 months of his presidency will likely cost taxpayer between $37-$49 million. $49 million would be roughly half of the estimated cost of President Obama's vacation travel over eight years.
Will Trump be going from Washington, D.C. to Mar-A-Lago every weekend from January to May every year? I assume during his fourth year he will be campaigning and that will keep him from going to Mar-A-Lago every weekend. However, if for his first three years in office he repeats this year's January to May schedule it seems like the cost to taxpayers will be $111-$147 million.
