    Fun thing about this, is you have entirely zero way to substantiate this claim of yours... But go for it... give it a whirl...

    Is Trump playing golf in Australia. I would think those that live thousands of miles away and constantly complain about the damage Trump causes them would be willing to send some money to support Trumps golfing habit just so you can sleep at night. Need a website?

    Common sense tells me that security at the White House is virtually the same as when Trump is present or not. Add to that transportation costs, hotel expenses and the additional security required locally.

    The cost varies by the prices charged by the hotel or venue being used.Dirty Donald has relatively high charges for the GOLFCARTS used by the secret service as well as the room rates for his various hotels.

    No they’re not. Air Force One is not necessary when he walks the Rose Garden. His Helicopters are not needed when he walks to the West Wing.

    President Donald Trump does not take a salary as president.

    You'll have to come up with a better mindless complaint than that.

    And yet the cost of them, their upkeep and maintenance, storage, staffing etc go on, regardless. So, while the man might not be flying on either, they still wrack up their costs.

    So why did Trump criticize Obama for his golf trips and promise his voters that he wouldn’t waste his time golfing?

    That’s not some “fake” story by the evil press, those were Trump’s words.

    Trump is incapable of shutting his mouth. He has no impulse control and no boundaries.

    6,400,000 / 400,000 = 16 not 278.5. Like I said BS.
