And considering your source, I am a little suspicious of the numbers.
I will check others that aren't so conservative/right wing.

To have a nice looking man with a good family like that in the White House, at whatever price is a bargain!

The expenses incurred by United States presidents and their families on vacation trips and other travel away from the White House are an evergreen topic of partisan debate, given that much of those, including the requisite round-the-clock Secret Service protection and use of military aircraft for travel, are footed by the federal government. (By longstanding convention, even presidential vacation travel is categorized as “official business” for accounting purposes, since it is assumed, the Congressional Research Service tells us, that the president is always on duty.)
In that vein, an Internet meme loosed on social media nine months into Donald Trump’s presidency made the claim that taxpayer expenditures on vacations, golf, and personal security for the president, First Lady Melania Trump, and their youngest son Barron had thus far averaged more than $16 million per month, as compared to an average of about $1 million per month for travel by President Obama and immediate family during Obama’s entire eight years in office.

It costs millions for every presidents family when they are in office. But the hangers on and the adult children of Trump costing so much is ridiculous.Lexy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 12:52 pm The final tab for former President Obama's eight years of family travel to ski resorts, beaches and European cities has finally come in and the bill is $99,714,527.82.

Not as she expected, I imagine. Trump’s family’s monthly travel costs are roughly equal to the Obamas’ annual costs. It’s a pretty self-defeating train of discussion for a trump supporter to start, I’m pretty astonished that so many of them keep trying it.

Trump had a lot of criticism for President Obama and his family going on costly vacations. So, why are him and his senior staff/children going on costly vacations?Lexy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 15, 2018 12:52 pm The final tab for former President Obama's eight years of family travel to ski resorts, beaches and European cities has finally come in and the bill is $99,714,527.82.
