President Trump flew to Mar-a-Lago for the third weekend in a row, after criticising his predecessor Obama for golfing and costing taxpayers for the trips. Tweeting "@BarackObama's vacation is costing the taxpayers millions of dollars. Unbelievable." He also slammed Obama for playing golf. Trump has played at least three rounds in his first month of office.
Though the administration won't provide a dollar amount in 2013 just one trip to the Palm Beach area cost taxpayers $3 million
The local government is also paying a price, the Palm Beach Sheriff's Department estimates the spen $60,000 in overtime each day the President is in town.
Trump once said
“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,”Trump tells ITK. "I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off."
The White House insists these are working weekends.
Sean Spicer: "While in Florida he will hold meetings and calls with advisors and staff to plan for another big week of action on behalf of the American people."
This type of work it seems can not be done in the White House.
