    Trump Has Spent $115 Million On Golf Trips ― Or 287 Years Of Presidential Salary

    With his Thanksgiving vacation, President Donald Trump’s golf hobby has now cost Americans an estimated $115 million in travel and security expenses ― the equivalent of 287 years of the presidential salary he frequently boasts about not taking.

    Of that amount, many hundreds of thousands ― perhaps millions ― of dollars have gone into his own cash registers, as Secret Service agents, White House staff and other administration officials stay and eat at his hotels and golf courses.

    The exact amount cannot be determined because the White House refuses to reveal how many Trump aides have been staying at his properties when he visits them and will not turn over receipts for the charges incurred.

    ... https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-golf-trips-millions-thanksgiving-221349040.html

    And on top of this, he is still sending the national debt up, up, UP! and misappropriating taxpayer dollars with his fake emergency to pay for border fencing. But, at least the stock market is doing well. For now. I guess that's all that matters.

    You must protect a president at all cost..

    The secret service doesn't allow Trump to use his own plane or helicopter.


    So what would you like him to do? Be in a cage in the white house with no freedom?

    I remember when the left botched about Bush all the time going to his ranch in texas, then the right botched about Obama going to Hawaii all the time..


    When will this tit for tat end?

    And the emperor wears no clothes.

    Tumpeteers are blind to him.

    What makes you think that they would care how much of their tax dollars he wastes hauling his fat ass around the back nine?

    There are golf courses on military facilities that would cost a fraction of what Trump is costing using his own facilities

    Plus there is the hypocrisy

    So I become president, why would I want to fly to a military place when I just go home to Chicago?

    That's what always bothered me about Obama, instead of going to Chicago he went to Hawaii.

    Stimulus came in the wake of a financial meltdown, not to boost an allegedly roaring economy.

    Then deport every single one of them and watch the economy crumble.

    Go ahead. Try. Then reap the results.

    Level headed Republicans used to understand this, but since you elected this ethnic cleansing buffoon, you've all gone off the deep end.

    This country has an illegal immigrant problem.

    That problem ranks somewhere well below tax evasion by billion dollar corporations, Citizens United, climate change, rural poverty in the reddest of the red states, and a POTUS throwing everyone in his administration who doesn't tow the line under the bus.

    And yet, somehow, a population who washes your dishes, and picks your vegetables, and watches your kids, and builds your houses, are to blame.

    Give me an effing break.

    Not in the least. The Beast wasn't designed to protect Trump. It was designed to protect the POTUS. Trump is just one of 45.

    He's not that special.

    Every few months I have to pull out the Secret Service records to debunk these fake news stories. It's Ok since I have them bookmarked. On average the Trump and Obama administrations have spent about 10-15 million per year on Vacays. Obama's at about $105,662,975.27 after his 8 years and by Jan 2018 Trump was at $13,533,937.28. So he's about on course for what Obama is at. Now do you think in 1 year Trump spent 100 million on travel? Remember the media is against this President and will report any false story they get their hands on. Or should you go with records that JW had to sue the government to get first hand records from the Secret Service.
