Does it bother anyone else that he took a helicopter to Air Force One, then flew in Air Force One to the west coast, then took a jet to the aircraft carrier, just to appear for a few moments on TV to create a political moment designed to boost his chances for reelection? How much do you suppose this jaunt cost taxpayers?
How will we pay for the incredible expense of this long distance display of hubris when he slashes the taxes of his rich cronies?
