He has spent more on these golf trips in his time than Obama did in eight years.

What is protecting our Country worth? $17 million is a drop in the bucket.



Trump is profligate spender. $17 million dollars for Trump's outings was the base price. It is more likely missions more. We might ask how much of that money flowed into Trump's personal coffers?


Unlike the Mueller probe which benefits the Country, Trump's outings benefit only one person and one persona alone: Trump.

Look on the bright side... it's hard to use a putter and a pen at the same time!

"Trump" is a tarnished brand like Enron, Theranos and The Weinstein Company.

The GAO is an independent, reputable federal agency that researches how the government spends money.

But this report doesn’t exactly back up what the critics are saying, even if it’s the best available estimate of a presidential trip to Palm Beach.

The report did not estimate the specific costs of Trump’s weekend escapes to the so-called Southern White House, though a reader would get that impression.

Instead, the report, titled "Presidential Travel: Estimated Costs for a Specific Presidential Trip to Illinois and Florida," found that a four-day trip President Barack Obama took to Chicago and Palm Beach in February 2013 cost approximately $3.6 million.

It’s not fair to assume that those costs are typical for presidential travel, the author of the report told us.


All assumptions. Fake news. Certified.

I think the $17 million reportedly spent on Mueller is a low number.

You'd think people would read the links they post prior to posting....but then again, I'm assuming they can read....
