Can someone help me refute this?
   
This garbage started making its way around FB this morning. Sounds like RW garbage to me but I haven't found anything concrete to refute it yet

"The President & and 3,000 friends, family & staff are going to India for 10 days. The caravan is comprised of 40 aircraft. 500+ rooms have been rented at the Taj Mahal Hotel (the entire hotel). The carbon footprint of this 10 day trip ranks 75th on the list of emissions generated in ONE YEAR by U.S cities, right behind Raleigh, NC. Total cost of the trip...$200 million PER DAY! Yes, per day....$2 BILLION total."

thanks

1. Yeah, heard that as well... don't know the facts though.   
   
I doubt it's all "friends family and staff" however.

DUmmies don't know ANY facts.

Make them source it since they insist on spewing the lie. If they don't have it, then that should tell you all you need to know.

Hey DUmmie, I posted the source here and on Facebook.  Your messiah is living like a king Mullah while you lick his sandals.

Hey you DUmmie simpletons. Would it hurt you to actually find out the truth for yourselves once in a while?! Or is it "selective" reporting you listen to or read about?
OH! While you're at it, you may want to "refute" why the imposter is going there. You may be even more upset with the lord zero.

It's okay.  After all, he's a liberal and therefore means well.

Ha ha ha...sounds like a troll if you ask me. No "real DUmmie" would even think that there is anything wrong with a US Socialist-er, Democrat president spending Two Thousand Million Dollars (using the British mathematical term to emphasize total cost).

Or, here: $2,000,000,000.00
