Some truth to the fact Trump can do what he wants...and he will.

BUT...truth is -- he criticized Obama for taking ANY vacation.......there is a video where he mocks any President that would want to leave the White House.

He can't even get his wife to move in. Ironically -- families move their kids across country all the time for jobs -- not because they campaigned for the privilege but because they have no choice -- they have to go where the job is. Military families move their kids every two years....but our beloved President can't move his son to Washington DC -- even with the best resources available.....because it would be disruptive.

He mocks all of you and me too....and we just sit there grinning and saying -- he can do what he wants.

No one watches tv news all day except for old people. Most of us catch ten minutes of it, and get the rest of our news online. If you watch Fox News or MSNBC, you are probably an old person.

Go plant some flowers and cuddle some infants at the hospital as a volunteer. You will be happier for it.

When the most the libs can come up with is that President Trump and the First Lady are going to FL again, you know we have a winner in the White House!

So, yes, Trump is doing a great job and there is no way to point a finger and say he isn't without looking just plain silly!

Go Trump! Consumer confidence is up, up and away! Illegals being deported everyday! Yes, yes, yes!

For those that haven't been to FL, it is very nice there in the spring. If I could get away to go, I would go too!
You obviously don't understand the costs of his trips since you find it hilarious. He has cost taxpayers more in his first months in office than Obama did in a year. Our president should be cognizant what his travel costs us. Why can't he go to Camp David like every other president has done. Oh because, it's beneath him....too rustic. The mayor of Palm Beach is considering raising taxes or cutting services because Trump's frequent visits are costing a fortune in overtime for the police force. Do you think that's hilarious that these citizens have to pay more to accommodate Trump. I can assure you, they are not laughing.

I don't think the US can afford them.

But it's ok. All of the lower income voters of his don't mind at all, even as he strips them of their health care, health insurance and benefits.

Don't forget - in the famous words of Trump - "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot people, and they would still vote for me." Probably the only thing he hasn't lied about.
it's been widely reported that it costs a million a day to protect Melania and barron at trump tower. So going by that calculation that's 58 million so far, if Melania flew back to nyc the day Trump was inaugurated. His trips to mar a lago are going to cost 3 million each time. So that is 72 million in unnecessary costs just for those two. His son, Eric has racked up $100,000 as of last month, on his trips to Uruguay to promote Trump businesses.

Still think Trump should rent out the White House to some Russians and set up his offices in a more friendly city that doesn't want to kill him.

A million a day to have 20 guards making 40 bucks an hour... it costs 20 grand a day tops. A million if you hire Lady Gaga to perform for them 8 hours a day while they stand there. You cry babies will believe anything. A million a day? 20 k tops.

Where is your link regarding what it costs for President Trump to stay in Washington, compared to Florida.
Here's a link....and it still doesn't bother me.
How much does President Donald Trump's travel and protection cost taxpayers? | AL.com
Here is a link regarding federal funding for NPR....Articles: How Public Is NPR's Funding?
I am far less bothered with President Trump and his family traveling to Florida than I am paying to clean up after protestors, and having to pay to imprison and deport criminal illegals. Not to mention the other Gov't programs illegals participate in.
This indignation over every Presidential decision has gotten ridiculous. It is self-serving, and redundant and seldom based on anything beyond emotions.
You are a true believer, there is absolutely no sense in trying to argue with you. I hope that you don't take it too badly when you finally realize what 'dear leader' is all about, and it's not about benefiting you or keeping his campaign promises

$20,000 a day so that Melanie doesn't have to sleep with the pig she's married to is still too much. I don't blame her, you understand, but she should pay for it herself.
