譁然! 特朗普一年的旅行支出將超奧巴馬八年總和

Donald Trump's travel to his private club in Florida has cost over an estimated $20 million in his first 80 days as president, putting the president on pace in his first year of office to surpass former President Barack Obama's spending on travel for his entire eight years.

在上任的頭80天裏，美國總統唐納德·特朗普光是去他位於佛羅里達私人俱樂部的旅行支出就已經高達2000多萬美元。按照這種花法，他首年任期所花的旅費，將會超越前任總統貝拉克·奧巴馬在任八年的旅費。

The outsized spending on travel stands in stark relief to Trump's calls for belt tightening across the federal government and the fact that he regularly criticized Obama for costing the American taxpayer money every time he took a trip.

特朗普旅行經費的鉅額支出與他號召全國政府勤儉節約的說法形成鮮明對比，並且此前他本人也經常批評奧巴馬外出旅行是在浪費納稅人的錢。

Given variations in each trip, estimating the security costs around a presidential trip is difficult.

考慮到每次出行的具體內容差異很大，要估計總統每一次出行的具體安保費用可不太容易。

But a 2016 Government Accountability Office report about a four-day trip Obama took to Florida in 2013 -- one similar to Trump's trips -- found the total cost to the Secret Service and Coast Guard was $3.6 million.

但2016年美國政府問責署的一份報告顯示，奧巴馬總統在2013年前往佛羅里達州的一次4天行程中（該行程與特朗普上任以來頻繁前往佛羅里達州的行程相似），安保和海岸警衛隊的總支出高達360萬美元。

To date, Trump has spent six weekends -- and a total of 21 days -- at Mar-A-Lago, his private Palm Beach club. The total estimated costs for those trips are around $21.6 million.

到今天爲止，特朗普已經在他位於佛羅里達州棕櫚泉的私人官邸--海湖莊園度過了六個週末，共計21天。這幾次出行的支出預計在2160萬美元左右。

Obama, by contrast, spent just under $97 million on travel in his eight years as president, according to documents reviewed by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog.

相比之下，據司法監督機構——一個保守的政府部門--的文件顯示，奧巴馬在作爲總統的八年間，出行經費在9700萬美金之內。

Trump's frequent weekend travel makes it all but certain the 45th President will surpass Obama's spending in his first term, likely within months.

特朗普頻繁的週末出行使得這位第45任總統在第一個任期內的支出百分百會超過奧巴馬，也有可能在數月間就會超過。

Trump's frequent trips to Florida will likely end soon. Businesses in Palm Beach County have been told to expect the president to visit through May, but that Trump will likely stop visiting after that because the weather in the area begins to get stiflingly hot.

不過特朗普多次前往佛羅里達的行程不久將會結束。雖然棕櫚灘的生意可能期待他5月份去打理，但是隨着該地區氣溫的逐漸攀升，特朗普可能在5月以後就不會再去了。

Instead, many expect Trump will then start making frequent trips to his penthouse apartment at Trump Tower in New York City -- where first lady Melania Trump has been living for the first part of 2017 as their son, Baron, finishes school -- and his private Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster Township, New Jersey.

相反，許多人預測特朗普接下來會頻繁前往他位於紐約特朗普大廈的空中別墅--第一夫人梅拉尼婭爲了讓兒子巴倫在目前就讀的學校完成學業，而在2017年上半年繼續居住於此。此外，還有他位於新澤西州貝德明斯特的私人國家高爾夫俱樂部。

Not only does Trump travel frequently, but New York City officials have said it costs between $127,000 to $146,000 a day to protect first lady Melania Trump when she is in New York and the president is not there.

除了特朗普的頻繁出行之外，紐約市的官員也表示，當第一夫人獨自呆在紐約時，爲確保梅拉尼婭的安全，紐約市每天將支出12.7萬至14.6萬美金的安保經費。
