Melania's Million Dollar Vote!

Brought to you by the U.S. taxpayers.

Yup - It apparently will cost over $800,000 just to fly Malaria from DC to Palm Beach, and then there are all those incidentals like security, car expenses, hairdresser, and make-up for her to cast her ballot in Palm Beach.

Melania Trump to vote on Election Day, first lady's spokeswoman says
The first lady was noticeably absent at the voting booth Saturday when President Donald Trump cast his ballot in Palm Beach, Florida, as she remained in Washington, D.C., this weekend.

Melania Trump is set to vote on Election Day in Florida, where she is also registered.

Air Force One costs $206,337 an hour to operate, and the D.C. to Palm Beach flight takes about two hours. That's $824,000 right there, ...


Apparently she doesn't trust Mail-In/Absentee.

And her bastard husband uses Air Force One to fly to all his rallies. I despise these grifters.

I hope the powers that be are watching who is being charged for all those AF1 trips for campaigns. The Repukes are supposed to pay travel expenses. Obama had to. We also shouldn't be charged for hotel/meals.

Has he paid the 2016 unpaid bills from various cities around the US? Has he paid them for the 2020 campaign stops?

Many, if not all, his campaign cities are still looking for payment from four years ago. None of them have learned to demand payment up front.

Has he earned the title of "Most Hated Man On Earth" yet? That should be his Noble Prize -

I'm trashing the word "Melania". Third post I've had to trash in the past 10 minutes. I just don't care what she does or says.

Her name was in the headline, and easy to avoid. Others might be interested, even if you're not.

That's this one. It's not Air Force One if Trump isn't on it.

I'll take it.

Be funny if Red Don loses by one vote in FLA, and it was Malignia's.
