I do find it remarkable that you people spent eight long years complaining about money every time Obama stepped on an airplane and then casually disregard the fact that Trump by himself spend more money on travel in a year than the entire Obama family did in eight years. I'm also amazed how Trump spends vast amounts of taxpayer money in a resort he owns and directly profits from and somehow the fiscally responsible are suspiciously quiet about this.

I don't think there were a lot of "you people" complaining about Obama's travel expenses. That's a claim without foundation. But feel free to provide examples.

So, the challenge was, find examples of "you people" (which is kind of vague, but nonetheless..) complaining about Obama's travel expenses.  So if you google, "Obama travel expenses fox news" it takes all of about 20 seconds to find a complaint from the right about Obama's travel expenses.

==================================================================
"President Barack Obama's vacation travel costs during his eight-year presidency have totaled more than $96 million, according to a report by Judicial Watch.
The government watchdog foundation said it filed two separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits for Secret Service costs related to the Obama family's travel.

"The costs totaled $96,938,882.51 over the past eight years, according to documents Judicial Watch received from the Secret Service and the U.S. Air Force.
"President-elect Trump can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential travel," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

"The Obamas' notorious abuse of presidential travel perks wasted military resources and stressed the Secret Service. Judicial Watch estimates that the final costs of Obama’s unnecessary vacation and political travel will well exceed $100 million."
