Fresh off signing a rich friendly tax bill that will personally benefit him, President Donald Trump, a misogynist who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, will be celebrating the holidays and his regime's successful attacks against the working class with an extended trip to his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida.

The tax bill will significantly lower corporate taxes, open up Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, and do away with the estate tax, Politicoreports. Tax cuts for lower income people will occur for the first few years but are eventually set to expire. The cuts for corporations, will not. 

Our big and very popular Tax Cut and Reform Bill has taken on an unexpected new source of “love” - that is big companies and corporations showering their workers with bonuses. This is a phenomenon that nobody even thought of, and now it is the rage. Merry Christmas!

Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago or his other properties have become a norm of his regime, CNN reports. A 106 visits to his properties (a not insignificant number at all) in total since assuming power, according to their calculations. 

Interestingly, but perhaps not surprisingly, Trump hypocritically blasted former President Barack Obama for taking what he deemed to be an excessive amount of time off. 

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf.Worse than Carter

According to CNN, Trump has visited his Mar-a-Lago property a total of 34 times, has spent 40 days at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, went to Trump National Golf Club in Northern Virginia 23 times, and also stopped by Trump International Hotel Waikiki in Hawaii. He's reportedly spent 80 days at his golf courses. 

Presidential trips aren't cheap. According to a 2016 Government Accountability Office report, a four-day trip Obama took to Florida in 2013 cost the Secret Service and Coast Guard a cool $3 million.​ So, if you want to calcuate Trump's numerous trips, they have not been cheap.
