1. We need to keep an online expense file going for this one...

2. It's costing a fortune to protect the Trump family, Business Insider, 2/17/17

(in Obama's 8 years, an estimated $97 million spent. But 3 trips to Mar-A-Lago may have cost $10M plus local law enforcement costs. And protecting Trump Tower (thank to Melania and Barron staying there) costs about $183 M/year.

the cost to protect President Donald Trump and his family is on track to supersede what it cost to protect former President Barack Obama and his family by hundreds of millions of dollars.

... “This is an expensive way to conduct business, and the president should recognize that,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “The unique thing about President Trump is that he knows what it costs to run a plane,” Fitton said about Trump's travel to Mar-a-Lago in Florida. He suggested Camp David may be the better choice, since Trump can easily get there by helicopter.

... “There was an anticipation of how stressful it was going to be on the agency," said Jonathan Wackrow, a 14-year Secret Service employee who served during Obama's administration. "But the harsh reality is that the stress is just overwhelming." According to Wackrow, agents are “at severe risk of burnout."

7. wait: JUDICIAL WATCH is being (vaguely, ever-so-hesitatingly) critical of him?

That's a pretty bad sign for this administration. Those guys are thoroughly partisan.

5. remember how sad that weekend was for him?

how he couldn't enjoy the new gig because of the protesters and such? I guess he doesn't want to go through that again. After that first weekend, he needs the affirmation of his fawning club members to prop up his fragile emotional state.

6. He's a coward, shrinking from his vast presidential duties

Running away, hiding under his covers, promoting instead of governing.

He won't make it to summer.
