I thought presidents usually tried to tie-in some kind of make-shift official reason for the visit then do the political thing as an ‘‘addition’’ at minimal cost paid by the party.
Trump’s campaign expenses are paid for by the RNC.
If he includes any official business with the trip, we pay the expense of AF1. If he doesn’t the RNC pays it. A president will usually visit a federal building or a military base along with doing the campaign rally to get AF1 paid for. I don’t know if Trump does that or not.
The cost is inconsequential when weighed against the dire need of the people to see their glorious president moving amongst them, encouraging them with his fine example as a patriot and a man, and furthering the Great Work of MAGA.
You won’t find one Trumplover who gives a damn about trump’s constant campaigning, spending, or anything else for that matter. Wrong letter behind his name for criticism.
Of course he has. Just like he stopped playing golf. Donald has worked ceaselessly for the American people to ensure MAGA is more than just a trite catchphrase to lure gullible rubes, but a glorious realized dream.
