    It's the amount Donald gets vs Obama, that you're causally never minding for the sake of your agenda.

    I sourced that Donald is wasted far and far more taxes on vacations than Obama.

    Rather relevant to show that Donald, an alleged multimillionaire, gets +100 million in governmental aid for vacation... and the reps got no problem paying taxes for it. But have a problem with really poor people in need getting help to get some food on the table.

    Inflation isn't +200% after 1 term. Your attempt to downplay this, is a joke.

    Just as an example, we must protect the president at any cost,

    And the President could play golf at any one of the fine military golf courses in Virginia - just a simple helicopter ride away. But he CHOOSES to go all the way to one of his own courses where he can make money charging the Secret Service for incidentals. Trump is a dick.

    Donald Trump uses golf course for business, unlike Barack ...

    https://www.washingtontimes.com › news › jan › trump-uses-golf-course-f...

    Jan 1, 2018 - President Trump opened himself up to accusations of hypocrisy by playing golf more often in 2017 than President Barack Obama, but he was also more likely than his predecessor to mix business with pleasure on the links during his first year in office. ... Obama’s 26 rounds by the ...


    I can remember he used his golf resort to interview all potential cabinet members. I remember having Japans Prime Minister there and I also remember he brought down Congressman to butter them up to pass his tax cut package. There were more but I can't remember them. He used his resorts like Bush used his Texas ranch for government business. Did Obama ever do that?

    Did Obama fly to Hawaii, rent a house for $2,000 a day and then charge the government $3,000 a day for the trip's duration? Cause that is basically what Trump is doing.

    Did Obama ever play golf on a military base? Would his S.S. personal be charged, along with the President if he went to another golf club? At least he gets his own free,

    At least Trump uses his golf for government business too and I don't believe he bills the government for playing on his own course, or sleeping there.

    From your own source:
    "As FactCheck.org notes, there is no evidence to support the $200 million figure (other than the anonymous quote), and it seems like a serious stretch in light of the fact that the entire war in Afghanistan costs less on a daily basis."

    And the trip wasn't for vacation

    The source says the people are billed 115 million bucks because Trump is on vacation that much.
    it doesn't matter if not all the bills he collects on his vacation trips are payed by taxes.
    It's still 115 million. And that figure is higher than Obama in 8 years.

    That is fake news. Besides, Trump plays Golf at his own resorts and many times in Florida at his 2nd Presidential location in Mara Lago. Most of his trips are business with a round of golf.

    Also, Trump offered to fly his own planes at his own expense and the Secret Service told him no. Obama still costs us millions upon millions per year in costs. All Presidents do. Time to get over it and move on. Besides, Trump is good for the country and doing great, while Obama had the worst economic recovery in the post war era. Obama probably spent more money weaponizing his intel to spy on Trump than what Trump spends on his Presidential rights to fly to secure locations and golf.

    He pursued the terrorist who attacked us and the governments who were offering them support and in violation of a cease fire agreement after they had attacked their sovereign neighbors. Do you really think we should not have gone after the Taliban and al Quaeda and should have left Saddam in power to his own devices?
