Nice logic?! Did Yobama profit off of secret service protection also... dumb.

This is one way in which it has happened.

Unless you’re examined Trump’s tax returns the answer is maybe.

Please. The Obama's enjoyed their separate vacations, a very expensive garden, it's what the elected elite do.
Pelosi wanted the Air Force to buy a fleet of private jets to cart elected reps around. They all do it and everyone complains when it's the other party and make excuses when it's their own. When people hold their own as accountable as they do they other side we might see change happen. I'll welcome that day.

What makes the op a joke is the faux outrage directed at Trump while the government is chock full of colossal legacy waste that evokes zero outrage and demonstrates infinite tolerance of taxpayers being ripped off.


Juvenile and pathetic is the tolerance for government waste. That is why trump was elected. Meanwhile no problem when Obama wasted 500 million dollars of taxpayer money on just one solar company. then in retrospect he said it was a good investment! If that didn't raise your ire and provoke outrage, nothing will, least of all Trump's golf game.


Washington times


"President Obama’s trips this year to the golfing playgrounds of Palm Springs and Key Largo cost taxpayers nearly $3 million for flight expenses alone, according to Air Force records.
The activist group Judicial Watch said the trips in February and March cost $2,952,278 for flight expenses of Air Force One."




Obama's forays at golf clubs "During March 7-9, the First Family spent Spring Break at the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., where members must have a minimum net worth of $35 million to join"

the outrage at Trump is not lost as 'juvenile and pathetic' and more disturbing as endorsement by haters of the use of character assassination and lies.

If it irritates anti-Trumps, Trump should do it.

That's a big reason why we elected him.

It just shows the degrees of hypocrisy that Trump supporters will engage in. Conservatives skewered Obama for playing golf. Trump is not only playing double or triple the amount of golf and costing the taxpayer tens of millions of dollars, he is also profiting from his golf game.

Conservatives be honest and just admit as follows:

If it is our president that is raping the taxpayer and personally profiting from the Oval Office we are fine with it. It is only when the other party engages in this conduct that we go into epileptic fits.
