Hey Trumpettes... Any idea how much the weekend jaunt to his resort cost us?

Well this is a fair criticism.

Whether he was tone deaf or just unlucky, Obama seemed to be caught on the golf course at very inopportune times given what was going on in the country.

Still that is irrelevant to providing security to a president and his family for down time.

If Trump is caught yukking it up on the golf course while something dire is happening in the country, I will be right there criticizing him.

Well, now at least we're getting a better idea of why Trump hangs out in Palm Beach so much.

Lots of business gets done there. Business of running the swamp.

This is corruption on an 'unpresidented level'. A swamp on steroids.

"...But Mr. Trump’s gatherings at Mar-a-Lago — he arrived there on Friday afternoon, his third weekend visit in a row — have also created an arena for potential political influence rarely seen in American history: a kind of Washington steakhouse on steroids, situated in a sunny playground of the rich and powerful, where members and their guests enjoy a level of access that could elude even the best-connected of lobbyists..."

You guys endlessly attacked Obama for his travel expenses. Trump has already spent nearly as much in 1 month as Obama did in 1 year, yet not a peep out of you guys.

Pure hypocrisy from your side.

IIRC, The Donald, is an employee of the Government by the Constitution. He does not have to accept the pay but it will be paid to him and is reportable on his taxes. He made do anything with his pay.
