First daughter Tiffany Trump is still staying far from the spotlight during her father’s presidency, but her recent vacation in Serbia is raising some eyebrows. According to Quartz, her stay in the Eastern European country from March 7-16 cost the U.S. government at least $23,000.
Air Force records regarding Michelle Obama’s trip to Morocco, Spain and Liberia with her daughters in June 2016 revealed $450,026.40 in flight expenses alone. A C-32A was flown for 28.4 hours.
Michelle Obama’s February 2016 ski trip to Aspen with her daughters cost taxpayers a total of $222,875.58. The Secret Service expenses were $165,806.78. Judicial Watch previously obtained records from the Air Force revealing that Michelle Obama’s weekend trip to Aspen, Colorado, last year cost American taxpayers $57,068.80 in travel expenses alone for the 7.4-hour round-trip flight.
To most of us, $23,000 sounds like quite a bit of money to spend on vacation, but it’s a drop in the bucket of all the expenses the first family’s travel incurs. Not since George Bush Sr. has the U.S. had a president with more than two adult children, and back then, media scrutiny of his adult children was a little less intense — and a little less tangled with the president’s business interests. Both Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have taken international business trips that cost nearly $100,000 apiece in Secret Service travel costs.
The president himself racks up quite a bill every time he visits Mar-a-Lago or one of his other properties. The Government Accountability Office reported that four of his trips to the Palm Beach resort from February 3 through March 5, 2017 cost federal agencies $13.6 million.
By comparison, President Barack Obama was widely criticized by Republicans in 2009 when he took wife Michelle on a date in New York City, costing the federal government an estimated $72,000.

I am sure she had a good time in Serbia, probably not many deranged Leftists there.

I can only assume she chose a place like that, so she wouldn't be noticed at all. She has really never sought the spotlight.
Serbia doesnt sound like a typical vacation paradise. Perhaps she has family there, on her mother's side.
Hey Yahoo.... Biased much?
