Are you, an American citizen, worried about what your hard-earned tax dollars are actually paying for? Are you, a concerned global citizen, worried about the state of American politics?

...Is Trump at Mar-a-Lago?

Possibly, most definitely and YES.

Helpfully, a new genius website, istrumpatmaralago.org, has been founded allowing you to keep track of President Trump's regular Florida trips.

The site also indicates an estimate on how much money has been spent on trips so far - $25 million - and how that money could have been better spent (e.g. public school funding, Medicaid), while he proposes dramatic budget cuts to higher education and homelessness aid.

Also, you can find out just how many weekends of the presidency Trump has spent messing around on the golf course (13).

Instead of, you know, preventing World War III with North Korea and Russia.

(Quick side note, Trump is once again haunted by his own past self on Twitter...)

But somebody now needs to set up a site for Melania, who has just poked her head above the parapet to fly down to Florida with her son in order to join Trump for Easter.

Melania and Barron reportedly flew from New York, where they reside, and landed in Florida just minutes before Air Force One.

The MailOnlineestimates that the total cost of the trip was at least $100,000, as her First Lady's plane costs $15,846 to operate.

Although this is small change compared to Trump's trips to the resort, which the Judicial Watch estimate cost $1 million a pop.

Happy Easter!
