Unfortunately a president can't fly economy.

Maybe he chips in. Maybe not. If not who fucking cares.
At least he's not into motor racing.
Every time the President travels, it costs a lot of money. A LOT of money. It's not like you and I getting on a plane and getting away for a weekend. Before the President travels the Secret Service sends an advance team including multiple airplanes AND his limo - and in some cases Marine 1... Then factor in back ups. Then factor in White House staff, assistants, military advisers, secret service detail....

What he does on his own time costs the US tax payers tens of millions of dollars.

This president promised to treat government "Like a business" but in a business you answer to shareholders. Instead, the President is treating his office like a damn piggy bank.
