Don't expect President Donald Trump to pay for travel to and security costs at Mar-a-Lago from his own pocket.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Monday President Donald Trump has essentially given back to the federal government in donating part of his presidential salary.
"So respectfully, it's like, at what point does he do enough?" Spicer told reporters at a briefing. The comments came after Spicer announced the president was donating the first quarter portion of his presidential salary to the National Park Service to support battleground sites and monuments.
In addition, Spicer said Trump’s trips to his South Florida mansion and golf clubs amount to what has been a presidential prerogative, noting that President George W. Bush traveled to his ranch in Texas and President Obama traveled to Hawaii.
Spicer also added that Trump has stepped away from his private his businesses at his own expense.
