Maybe if you can restrain your hate you would see this was already posted 3 hours ago-it already has 41 replies.
care to address the topic or is that you can't think of an anti-Hillary/Obama come back at this time to deflect?

I agree, IF POTUS uses the funds wisely. Going on vacation to Trump's resorts every weekend is not using the funds wisely. That is why he has blown through the entire budget already.

It'd be more tolerable if he was traveling to those coal mines he alleges he'll revive or official state visits but he's funneling taxpayer money into his properties.

USA Today: Secret Service Depletes Funds to Pay Agents because of Donald Trump's Frequent Travel, Large Family
^^^ This is a large part of the problem. Remember how he was going to work so hard that he would 'never leave the WH?"

He needs to sit down and do his job and see if he can accomplish something .

I really see no justification as to why the taxpayers have to pay for the international private business travel. It is out of control, and it certainly is going to lend no credibility to Trump talking about a budget.

The Trump family should either chip in for these excesses or learn what the word 'sacrifice' means.
It's utterly ridiculous. His worshipers think he is Mr. Wonderful for donating his salary - meanwhile he's bankrupting us.

Now we know why all those businesses went bankrupt and why he has to have Russian banks lend him money.

That should please Trump, he is looking for ways to cut the federal budget of wasteful spending.
They already are seeing resignations.

Fat chance of that, you think a guy who has filed for bankruptcy 4 times knows anything about being a fiscal conservative?

Love how Trumpsters are such hypocrites when it comes to Trump vs Obama travel expenses and are in denial or deflecting .... No, MSM didn't make this up. The guy Trump hired, Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles, revealed the info during an interview.

Maybe Trumpsters can send their own paychecks to SS for continued protection of the Idiot-in-Chief.

The president's salary is $400K/year - Trump's 3 trips to Mar-a-Lago have cost $10 million.

Where does that figure come from? That seems way too outrageous to be true...

But I know, I know, just trying to be optimistic about it. $400k is something.

Mueller works needs a speed up, and Congress needs to get busy and have this man removed from office.. he is fleecing the nations, with his entire family on a business and promotional tour for Trump Business, and the American Taxpayer is paying for it.
ENOUGH OF THIS MADNESS ALREADY.... The Gangster Criminal in the White House" has damaged everything he can in and of America and wasting its taxpayer funds on his Property Promotional Outings.... and we have a congress that is sitting foolishly silent and letting him get away with it.

That crapo of claiming, Trump is just being Trump... well, Its time our congress and our justice system put a stop to the madness. All he has done is "play jet setter swindler- fleecing Americans" at the expense of this nation and the resources of this nation. Call it like it is. Trump needs to be Impeached and Removed from Office. This entire family and his circle needs to be locked up and hopefully Mueller can get that accomplished soon.

I'm sure he and his family will suspend vacations and personal business travel so that they don't bust the budget, right?

Nonsense. And if it's not, post something showing that what you say is true.
