The man would not do what you would do. He is honest and isn't thinking of milking the tax payer.
What proof do you have that he's honest?

Take it up with Forbes magazine. Do your own research, for Christ sake.

You just don't want to believe it. It's $3 million per trip.

Why does he have to golf every weekend?

You sure, or you don't know? LOL!!
FoIA should bring up the invoice.

Secret Service is paid for 24/7 365 in the budget. no extra cost, no matter where they go.
He didn't take a salary, what makes you think he would be as slimy as you and charge us for a property he owns? The guy has comp'ed a lot already.

He IS taking vacations. He's playing golf in Florida. Trump is vacationing.

Accept it. Embrace it. You.have.been.had.

Just like the students at Trump University.

Since when do the Dems care in the slightest about wasting taxpayer money? They don't.
His weekends at Mar a lago are costing us a fortune. In one month he has spent more than Obama did in one year. Here he his trying to cut government expenses by downsizing departments which means people losing their jobs. All the while, he is spending weekends in Florida because Camp David isn't good enough for him. He needs to stop wasting our hard earned tax payer dollars for his luxuries. Our tax dollars should not be going to fund him. Honestly, if everyone can't see the problem with this, then I don't know what to say. Very sad if they you don't get it.

Hah! What point would that be?

Trump spending every weekend at Mar A Lago proves what?

Only point I see he's making is "Suck it America. I'm Trump. You're not"

Oh, and every American citizen has the right to an opinion when it comes to Who and How someone is running their government.

We're still paying for those wars.
Using Obama or another president's supposed actions in the past as a defense for Trumps's misdeeds is getting very old.

So amusing...

Obamaphobes yipped and yapped endlessly about "how much he's costing us taxpayers with all of his vacations!"

But now that they've morphed into Trumplings, spending 10X that amount is no longer an issue.

Can you say, "hypocrisy?"

He needs to be by his adoring fans. Those people are paying good money to see him.

You lack a sense of proportion and imagination.

How is the secret service going to protect the POTUS from Motel 6?

The coast guard has to patrol the sea, etc.

Do you really think Trump is comp'ing? Where is the proof of that? That's what you want to believe. The secret service stays at mar a lago at Trump's rates.

Please do your own research. Yes, your guy is a bucket of New York City SLIME.

Budget? What budget? When was the last time the house passed a budget?

Slimy as me? I have NEVER filed for bankruptcy and we pay taxes. So, watch it.

On top of all the other costs he racks up on these trips, the local cost is about $60,000 per day for overtime police protection. Palm Beach County is trying to bill the WH for these charges, but the way Trump generally pays his bills, it probably will never be paid.

Like we have said, every day Trump hammers a few more nails into his political coffin. The man simply can not help himself. Any normal person would realize they should not be doing these things, but Trump is so smug that he feels he is above the rest of us and can do whatever he wants.


This is a man who surrounds himself with everything done in gold. To think he was going to settle for less and live like us common folks was a stretch. He loves excess, and now he is using our credit card. CHARGE !!!!!!!!!!!!
^^^^^ This may become a popular bumped necro post if Trump gets reelected.
