Tracking and monitoring presidential travel expenses has become more commonplace since Bill Clinton’s presidency. As traveling abroad for business trips and meetings increased with the advances in air travel, presidents and their families came under increased public scrutiny for the cost of their travel at taxpayer expense.

Although the purpose of the trip was for the Trump family business — with money spent primarily on hotels, airfare — Secret Service protection for President Donald Trump’s adult sons comes at a cost for taxpayers. That same month, Eric Trump traveled to the Dominican Republic to potentially relaunch a failed Trump-branded resort project. The FOIA documents show that around $20 000 was spent on airfare, hotel rooms, auto rental and additional expenses.

The Trump family’s spending is on track to be the highest for any family in the White House to date. In the president’s first 80 days in office he spent over $20 million when visiting his private club in Florida. President Trump is projected to quickly outspend Obama in travel in his first four years of his presidency.

President Trump has often negatively compared President Obama and his families’ expenses to his presidential predecessors in order to degrade Obama’s public image.

He tweeted dozens of times on Obama’s travel, often saying, “President Barack Obama’s vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars — unbelievable!” Politico reports.
