I don't pay attention anymore to stories that talk about how much whatever costs for the president to do, if there isn't detailed information.
Flight? We have to pay for that. Security.
Travel for Secret Service? Same.
Hotel? Insignificant compared to the cost of prepping it by the Secret Service, also choices are limited, not by the President's fault.
Food? Likely a lot of restrictions on that as well. The President can't just walk into a mom and pop and start eating.
Now if you can find a line-item for drugs, prostitutes, excessive food (extremely rare crap for personal consumption), then I'm listening.
