It seems like it is every fucking day he is going somewhere on that helicopter and 747!
I mentioned years ago about how much time GW was spending flying around at our expense, much of it for "vacations" (remember the made-for-TV "ranch" the GOP bought him?) and then I watched Obama. It dawned on me that Mr. Obama seemed to use those aircraft less frequently, and more for official business, as opposed to flying a fucking 747, 175 miles from DC to New Jersey so he can fucking play golf at his own course!
You know where Obama played a lot of golf? At Joint Base Andrews. A short hop on the helicopter or a 20 minute motorcade to a nice course on the grounds of the base, saving tens of thousands of dollars each time in security and other logistics, that this Orange shitgibbon spends with the drop of a hat.
He and the rest of the GOP fucking pilloried Mr. Obama for playing as little golf as he did, even though the majority of the time, it was on military installations which reduced the amount of security preparations needed. They gave Obama 57 shades of shit for flying to Manhattan IN THE HELICOPTER to take Michelle out to dinner.
If Trump had done that, he would have flown AF1 to La Guardia and then taken a motorcade to Trump Tower.
Keep in mind, EVERY SINGLE TIME Trumpy uses AF1 to go somewhere, it is followed or preceded by at least one Air Force Cargo plane carrying the limo ( "The Beast" ), all the Secret Service Vehicles and often a Helicopter.
He has spent tens of millions on travel that has nothing to do with being president.

(10,885 posts)to Blair House, 750' from the WH. What a pansy!
Rather than walk across the street, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania took the presidential limousine and a motorcade of at least seven vehicles 750-feet from the White House to Blair House on Tuesday to greet George H.W. Bush's family.
After making the short trip across Pennsylvania Avenue, the Trumps welcomed George W. Bush and his wife, Laura Bush, before heading back around 23 minutes later. The visit comes a day before George H.W. Bush's funeral, which will be held on Wednesday at Washington National Cathedral.
According to Google Maps, driving from the White House to Blair House typically takes around three to seven minutes, while walking the approximate 0.2 miles is estimated to take only around three minutes
