The tab for keeping her in NYC, coupled with him staying in the WH and Mar A Lago, has to be astronomically high. Just the staff and Secret Service personnel alone has to be costly. Add in the plane, the ground transportation, and all those things, and he is costing us a fortune.
I really can't blame her for not wanting to see him 24/7, but I do totally agree.

Soooooooo, essentially you're saying his own government is trying to do him in?

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.

It is you imagining things.
You have the number to the motel 6?
Coast Guard is already paid in the budget. It is their duty to patrol, President or not.

Where is the invoice to the federal government for the stays? FoIA works well to find out to shove it in my face.

But you don't believe he is taking a $1 salary and all foreign diplomats staying at his DC Hotel is revenue for the treasury, either.

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

Just like the students at Trump University.
Trump very rarely takes vacations, he sure isn't taking "vacations" now, he is trying to have a private conversations away from the career people in the White House that are leaking information.

Running his multi billion dollar international business interests. You don't think he trusts his vapid, colorless sons to do it for him do you?

That's how he can stiff contractors and "renegotiate" loans (i.e. borrow millions, pay back thousands). That's how he can yammer about spending $50+ billions on the military.

It's all a game.

When American banks and investors wouldn't loan him any more for his grand schemes, he borrowed money from the Russians.

Now it's pay back time.

His staff advocated and achieved changing the Republican platform to back off from standing by the Ukraine. How would this benefit U.S. national security?

Doesn't.

That's why flying to Mar-a-Lago and chumming around with those who have paid $200K/year to rub elbows with him makes no difference to the man.

It's other people's money.

Like it always has been.
This^^^^

[FONT="Georgia"]LOL... He is an elected official. So he wants to have "private conversations?" I wonder what those "private conversations" are about

Really? He has to go to the Mar a Lago dining room in Florida to have a private conversation? Who is he talking to? The same people he talks to in DC. Oh, wait. Maybe not.
He's talking to his GOLF CLUBS!

I guess Trump is now a magnet: that golf club keeps following him around and wrapping itself around in Trump's little hands?

Stop making stuff up, will ya?

Trump goes to Florida to PLAY GOLF. That's a vacation. Every darn weekend, except once, he's been PLAYING GOLF in Florida.

That is the reality.

You've been had.

You don't believe anybody. DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK.

You go ahead and ask for all those records. I won't do your homework for you.

Stop imagining things.

Then he should go to Camp David where it is very secured. And there would be not extra tax dollars paying for it. But he said it was too rustic for him In other words...it's beneath his standard. And how can you say he very rarely takes vacations. If going to your luxury home every weekend isn't a vacation then please tell me what is
