He is unquestionably a big spender. That doesn't shock me, considering who he is. I've said before, though, and I'll say it again, there is something wrong when it costs 3 mil to fly the President to Florida. What the hell? Don't just say security, blah blah blah. They need to fix whatever THAT issue is, because the man is not going to stop going home for the weekend.I don't like Trump anymore than you do, but I wish you'd get off this weekend getaway = vacation thing. Who gives a shit how many times he plays golf? He was in Florida to entertain Xi, so the expense was covered. Really, Johnny, there are plenty of things to bitch about with that guy. Petty stuff like this is just going to make his detractors look .... petty.Source: MSN/The Hill
President Trump on Saturday headed to the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The motorcade drove past several protesters holding signs outside the entrance to the course, including one that read "Impeach Trump," according to pool reports.
The visit marks Trump's 15th trip to a golf course since his inauguration, according to an NBC News reporter who has been tracking Trump's golf outings.
It is also the president's 10th consecutive weekend traveling to a Trump-owned property, the reporter said.
15th trip, hmmmmm, been in office how long and has a 10 weekend streak going?
and that's $3M a pop or $45M, which is more than half of Obama's average of $86M per year
he's definitely going for the all time presidential vacation record, will easily best Boosh hands down
If it was just a one time thing, or only an occasional thing, you would be right. This is an almost every weekend thing. Are you ok with throwing away 3 million almost every weekend? For less than that price,he should be able to find something to entertain himself for a couple of days every week. I know I could, and I;m pretty sure you could too,
Also, on the weekends when he has stayed in D.C. and golfed in Virginia, that couldn't have cost 3 mil, so those weekends should be deducted from the calculations. I mean, I KNOW when it comes to the government, money has no real meaning, they spend it like water. But this is an issue for me. These people have no cause to spend so much money on protecting one man. There's a bunch of padding in there, mark my words.
Trump is old and overweight and he needs the exercise.
He is POTUS. Security costs a fortune. Sure, it probably could be cut some. Anyone but a selfish ass wouldn't spend that much.
