How many vacation days; days away from the White House; has Trump taken in three years? The answer is more than any other president in history; by far.

The few times during his administration President Obama vacationed in Hawaii were heavily criticized by Trump and other haters of one of the greatest presidents in history. Trump said the same thing about golfing, and all other presidents combined played fewer rounds of golf than Trump has in three years.

Trump is the most expensive government official in years. Just one of the many costs to American taxpayers is the use of Air Force One. For every hour Air Force One is in operation $200,000 is removed from the national treasury.

Trump’s spawn has also cost our nation millions of dollars. By law, they are required to have secret service protection wherever the travel around the world.

The estimate by some is that Trump and the Trump Klan have spent six-million dollars or more each month; that’s 216 million dollars; none of which is spent on government business.  Taxpayers pay for every trip to Mar-a-Lago where he is allowed to party with millionaires and billionaires. Trump is using your money to live the life of a legitimate billionaire.

We, the people who actually pay taxes, have the right to know where and how our annual ‘donations’ are being spent. Trump’s failed Secretary of the Treasury, billionaire and former member of Wall Street, Steve Mnuchin, does not agree. No surprise there.

Although Democrats have sought a detailed expense report from the secret service within 120 days of any travel at home and abroad, Republicans, (who have the nerve to continue calling themselves ‘conservatives), are attempting to hide truth.

Mnuchin wants to have the secret service returned to the control of the Department of the Treasury. It is currently a part of the Department of Homeland Security. If this does occur, Mnuchin says he will refuse to release any spending reports until after the 2020 election. I wonder why?

Shame on Trump; shame on his family; shame on his administration; and shame on today’s Republican Party in name only. They are a disgrace to every president, every administration, and the parties of Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, and Reagan who came before them.

We have a right to know everything which happens in Washington. There can be no secrets based on “national security,” because we are the nation. America is not composed of real estate, monuments, or public buildings; it is composed of 330 million people.

Finally, I ask you to boycott Facebook. Jeff Zuckerberg has decided to continue allowing Trump and his campaign staff to purchase ads on his failing social media site which are blatant lies. I you post on Facebook, you are supporting the reelection campaign of the worst president in America’s history.
