This begs the question: How much money do American taxpayers spend funding Trump's Coca-Cola habit? Is it zero? Is it thousands of dollars for a massive wholesale supply? We just don't know. President Trump - who often criticized former President Barack Obama for expenses associated with presidential travel - has himself cost American taxpayers between an estimated $1 million and $3 million a pop for each trip he takes to his Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida.
