    He may stay at his own resorts, but still bills the government for various services, such as the use of golf carts used by the SS and other services as well. Thus far his golf trips have cost taxpayers $83,447,575 according to www.TrumpGolfCount.com

    It is true that he does not accept the $400,000 salary; hopefully as a billionaire he doesn't feel the pinch too much; according to the Washington Post, by the end of August 2017, Trump will have spent all or part of 53 days in office at leisure compared to Barrack Obama's 15 days; moreover according to the Washington Post, Trump will have played 33 rounds of golf, which is almost twice as much as what Barrack Obama played in 2009.

    http://trumpgolfcount.com/displayoutings

    While he may not have taken "vacation", he's taken 3 times as much time off for holidays as Obama took off. If as you maintain, he is averaging 19 hours per day of work, that means he's only getting 35 hours of sleep per week unless he is not counting eating meals as part of the 19 hours per day and then he's getting less sleep then originally factored in.

    Below is a breakdown of monies spent on travel and security for both Obama's and Trump's travel. It would appear that Trump has already overspent what Obama spent while as president.

    Washington (CNN)The Obama administration secretly arranged a plane delivery of $400 million in cash on the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formally implemented the nuclear deal, US officials confirmed Wednesday.

    President Barack Obama approved the $400 million transfer, which he had announced in January as part of the Iran nuclear deal. The money was flown into Iran on wooden pallets stacked with Swiss francs, euros and other currencies as the first installment of a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims at an international tribunal at The Hague over a failed arms deal under the time of the Shah.
    A fifth American man was released by Iran separately.
    “Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured…but not everyone must prove they are a citizen. And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”

    At a press conference Wednesday in New York, one of Trump's lawyers, Sheri Dillon, a tax attorney at Morgan Lewis, said that the president-elect would give the profits his hotels generate from foreign governments to the Treasury.

    That is part of a plan to avoid conflicts of interest under the new administration. Reports of foreign diplomats staying at Trump's hotels have raised concerns that these individuals could curry favor with the incoming president.

    Numerous sources have attested to the fact that Trump averages 4 hours of sleep per night: he's a workaholic pure and simple.

    He's running circles around Congress and they're pretty unhappy about it, lol.
    Maybe if he slept 8 hours a night he could actually focus enough to our craft a coherent sentence.

    Thank you for posting that; @resister was very helpful and posted a video detailing basically what you've posted and I suggested that we start a new thread as to not derail this one since we are doing so well in staying on topic. If you start a new thread i will engage in discussion with anyone who'd like to discuss it.

    Well, since we are counting $ a president spends, it is germane.

    Well, if it were monies spent on travel or related to travel I'd say yes, but i think we are really stretching it here and I don't want to get clipped for derailing a thread. I'd feel much more comfortable if we just start a new thread. I'm sure it won't be that big of a deal to start a new thread.

    On that note I'm going to bed before I turn into a pumpkin. See everyone tomorrow!
