Taking a trip from D.C. to Palm Beach is pricey to begin with, but when you're the president, that trip gets considerably more expensive—with the government responsible for a large chunk of the tab.

According to the Washington Post, President Donald Trump and his family's "unusually elaborate lifestyle" has proven to be incredibly expensive since the inauguration, to the point where the publication reports his presidency is already "costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents." Trump's three trips to Mar-a-Lago alone have cost the federal treasury an estimated $10 million. Combined with the $500,000 a day it costs to protect Trump Tower in New York City and to protect Trump's family on one-off business trips—like Eric Trump's recent visit to Uruguay, where "Secret Service and U.S. embassy staffers paid nearly $100,000 in hotel room bills"—that price tag is estimated to balloon into "hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term."

Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago have proven especially costly, since they include paying for Coast Guard units to protect the estate's exposed shoreline, along with the typical "military, security, and staffing expenses" typical for protecting a president while he's out in public.

Critics of the president have pointed out that these trips may also Trump financially, since he refused to divest ownership of his company. From the Defense Department and Secret Service seeking to rent out a floor of Trump Tower for $1.5 million a year to the unprecedented amount of press his properties are getting just because he's there, he stands to profit personally from these frequent trips.

White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told the Washington Post that Trump is always working, even when he's not in Washington.

In the past, Trump vocally criticized President Barack Obama for being a "habitual vacationer," and claimed in an interview that if elected, he "would rarely leave the White House," the Washington Post reports. At this rate, Trump and his family are on track to rack up hundreds of millions more in travel expenses than either Obama or presidents before him—with local taxpayers in Palm Beach County paying an estimated $60,000 a day already.
