Betcha Carney's travel costs are on par with Trump's. Heaven knows what his catering bill is.

Really?
The PM flies in one jet. POTUS has the palatial AF1 (gifted from Qatar), plus a C17 to carry 2 Beasts, plus an escort of fighter jets.
I doubt it’s even close.

A ridiculous statement.

Every time POTUS goes somewhere it’s about the equivalent of a battalion deployment.

More than one. All primary motorcade vehicles have to be moved, including S/S vehicles, plus spares and often decoy convoy vehicles. There also may be a decoy AF1 flight.

And an airport catering truck . . . don't forget an airport catering truck.

POTUS flights require multiple aircraft not including the occasional fighter escorts. When you think of the costs it is beyond eyewatering. Then add in the amount of taxpayer monies used to fund and house the SS details to protect all the former presidents until they die….its insane.

Arguably, the head of state with the biggest target on his back would be Zelensky. How many does he travel with?

As a US taxpayer, I'd hope that they've prepositioned all the stuff POTUS needs at Mar Logo since he seems to go there every weekend.

He's monetized every other piece of the Presidency, the rental costs to store vehicles etc there would not doi t be eye watering.

No idea but I have $1K that says it is far far less than Trump.
