Trump Vacations Have Already Cost Taxpayers What TWO YEARS of Obama's Did — The Political Vigilante

In this video, Graham Elwood examines a report from The Independent detailing how Donald Trump's frequent travel and vacations to Mar-a-Lago (and his family's stay at Trump Tower in New York City) cost U.S. taxpayers roughly $24 million in just his first 10 weeks in office—equal to what Barack Obama spent on travel in two full years. Graham contrasts Trump's past tweets criticising Obama's golf outings with his own massive taxpayer-funded security expenses, hypocritical budget cuts to arts and social programmes, and the proposed $54 billion increase to the military-industrial complex. He emphasises the importance of supporting independent media against establishment hypocrisy.
