It’s seriously like Sally Kohn hasn’t been paying attention for the last eight years … President Trump has an elaborate lifestyle. Did she not see the Obamas?
It's like we have a royal family now or something… https://t.co/2YWr1MArOU

Nope, we voted against the Clintons because we didn’t want a dynasty in the White House.

But Camelot is a SILLY place; gold star for anyone who catches this reference.
Watch this back and forth between Kohn and Shapiro about monies “wasted” (hands out popcorn):
Michelle Obama vacationed in Spain in 2010, and it cost taxpayers half a million dollars. https://t.co/luXf8wHmmR

ONE vacation for the FLOTUS.
Half a million.
Was one trip whereas e.g.:
"Trump’s three Mar-a-Lago trips since the inauguration have probably cost the federal treasury about $10 million" https://t.co/YWxHusLth0— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) February 17, 2017
‘Have probably’? Tsk tsk.
That was one of the cheaper ones. Obama's 2015 Hawaii vacation cost $5M. https://t.co/iYcvkShlrF

What about when they went to Africa?
Again versus at least $10M for Trump in less than ONE MONTH — not incl security costs for his kids' business travel… but nice try. https://t.co/jiBP1wZxjh

Sally just doesn’t get it. We’d only take her concerns about expenditures of this type seriously if she had been calling out this issue with Obama, which she clearly did not. In fact she just defends it, like spending $5 million on a trip to Hawaii was somehow legit?
Would be interesting to look at the monthly cost for a president and compare Obama to Trump. Well, it would honestly freak us all out to see how much they’re wasting BUT Sally pretending Trump is extraordinary in this regard is just more political pandering.
Editor’s note: Yes, we covered Shapiro twice today, and we always cover Sally, BUT in our defense it’s just too good NOT to write about. Happy Friday!
