It is insane that we are paying for Trump's

Posted: Apr 14, 2017

If Trump truly cared about us, they would be paying for their own security since adult chidren do not have to be covered by Secret Service. I'm sorry if supporters don't see this as a problem but you should. It is not right that taxpayers are paying so they can advance their business.

Before you start slamming Obama, I would be equally upset if his adult children or he were doing company business on our dime.

Trump and his family are costing us a lot of unnecessary costs for their gain in business. This should not be happening. I'm not even complaining about his wife staying in New York, I'm complaining about his adult children doing business on our dime.

IF that is all you can find to complain about regarding Trump, I'd suggest you get over it and move on. I put up with 8 years of a man who has no love for USA or its people - which is why the country took a downward trend. People became complacent cos they were being taken care of by the government via us taxpayers- isn't that just as bad or worse?

Check out CNN headlines (and other MSM) and see how disrespectful they - are to Trump. I see phrases like this...

"In just the last week, the ROOKIE commander in chief has presided over the use of some of the most powerful weaponry in the US arsenal"

"He is one President who relishes ordering the use of deadly force"

"In the United States, where Trump is politically beleaguered"

And this:

(People who hate him): "Democrats also however find themselves walking a fine line between seeking not to criticize their commander-in-chief over military action but questioning the rationale for his decision to do so."

snip...then this: (People who like him): "There was no such reticence from Republicans as the sight of a GOP president flexing military power offered a rallying point with a White House that has often had tense relations with its own party on Capitol Hill."

Then, finally (Thank God), this: "his parlous political standing, which has wobbled during his erratic first 100 days in power."

In a class on Journalistic Bias in the Modern Age, this guy's work should be held up as a classic example. In particular, I never heard the media calling Obama a "rookie". I have never heard or seen the word "parlous" used anywhere. The general public won't pick up a dictionary to discover the meaning (terrible writing). Wobbled? Really? For some reason, I don't see Trump as wobbly. I see him as steadily meeting the goals he promised he would meet without wavering in the face of never-ending fire from CNN. He is marching steadily onward leaving the bloodied journalistic corpses of his enemies behind him.

This fella is going to eat his words, the taste of which is going to be very bitter. His parlous journalistic position might get him in some real trouble.

Again, "It is not so much what you don't know that will get you in trouble, it's what you know that ain't so." -- Mark Twain

This obsession with Trump's family is bordering on weird. - Obama's Hawaii vacation in 2013 cost

[ In Reply To ..]
taxpayers over $8 million for 17 days.

The heavily redacted records were obtained on December 28 in response to a January 6, 2014, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. According to the records:
•$91,751.78 in car rental expenses were paid
•$224,974.05 in accommodation expenses were paid to Cabana Girl, LLC and Paradise Luxury Rentals

The documents are heavily redacted and the Secret Service is withholding 28 pages in their entirety.

Saying he was “eager to skip town” Obama took his family to Honolulu on December 20, 2013, for a 17-day Christmas vacation. As reported by The Washington Post:

The presidential motorcade ferried the Obamas across Oahu, the state’s most populous island, to the well-to-do oceanfront neighborhood of Kailua, where as in years past they have rented a private home for what this time will be a 17-day holiday vacation.

For the sixth straight year, Obama plans to spend Christmas and New Year’s in Hawaii, gathering with extended family and friends — and, yes, perfecting his golf game.

In March 2014, Judicial Watch released flight expense records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force revealing that for this Hawaii vacation the Obamas incurred $7,781,361.30 in flight expenses alone (36.9 hours at $210,877 an hour).

This was the first Judicial Watch FOIA request about Obama’s security costs the Secret Service has answered since July, 2014.

Last month, Judicial Watch separately sued the Department of Homeland Security for ignoring 19 other FOIA requests. The FOIA lawsuit asks the court to enjoin the Secret Service from continuing to withhold responsive documents from Judicial Watch (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:15-cv-01983)).

The known total expense to the American taxpayers thus far for all Obama travel is now $70,880,035.78.

“It seems our lawsuits finally got the attention of the Secret Service. It is easy to see why the Secret Service, reeling from its own scandals, covered up these outrageous expense numbers for just one of Obama’s luxury Christmas vacation,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The $317,000 in Secret Service expenses are only the tip of the iceberg for the true cost of Obama’s 2013 vacation in Hawaii, which has now skyrocketed to $8,098,060. It is nice to know that Obama’s ‘tradition’ of Christmas vacations in Hawaii comes courtesy of overburdened taxpayers.”

It seems that not only has Obama doubled the US debt in less - than 8 years, but he has

[ In Reply To ..]
doubled the money spent on vacations by every president prior to him.

Living large.

Something that CBS and the other alphabet networks are eager to report on now that Trump is in office but conveniently ignored in the past 8 years.

Interesting. So you say President Obama... - sm

spent a total of about $70 million in taxpayer dollars on vacations during his eight year presidency? How do you feel about Trump's 20 million in his first 100 days flying to Fla? This is just the cost of flying time for Air Force I. Wasn't he the one who said he would not be vacationing or playing golf, pretty much barely leaving the White House because there was so much work to be done?

Why are you lefties focusing on Trump's - traveling from one home to another

[ In Reply To ..]
You think you will get a tax refund if you spew enough garbage about taxpayer dollars? No you won't. It will be spent on other wasteful projects that are given by the politicians to people who donated (bribed) to their campaign.

All this crap is much ado about nothing. Taxpayers pay taxes and they have no control on how it is spent and they do not get their money back if Trump stops traveling from one home to another. Going from one home to another is not going on vacation.

And with modern technology do you think Trump needs to sit in WH office to get work done. You want him to punch a time clock and just sit at his desk 8-5?

This whole thing is beyond ridiculous but with empty lives and time on lefties hands I guess this is the best they can do. Fact is, all this garbage spewing about Trump will probably get him reelected because real people think this harping on Trump is trite and petty.

Why are you "righties" deflecting? Yes, I - think Trump should be

[ In Reply To ..]
at the White House doing his job instead of golfing on our dime. I think the only ones who think this is petty are his true supporters, those that defend every action he does. A lot of the pubs are even turning on him. He's not going from one home to another. He's going from the White House to one of his businesses where he is not only using our tax dollars to get there but his business is profiting while he's golfing. He raised the membership to $200,000 a year after becoming president because he feels the members are blessed by his presence.

Here is a page I found on twitter - Is Trump at Mar-A-Lago?

[ In Reply To ..]
We can keep track of how many times he has gone there and how much it is costing us. And then we can feel sick sick sick.

I'm thinking once he goes (hopefully in LESS than 4 years) lots of new rules will be made for keeping presidential expenses down.

Who da thunk we would have had elected such a profligate con man though? So many years, so many presidents, NOBODY took advantage of the office of president the way this thing is. Absolutely disgusting and should be stopped.

OMG some posters are OBSESSED! Is there life - for lefties outside of Trump?

[ In Reply To ..]
Why do you care about Trump going to his home in Palm Beach to do business?

Take a break - this constant Trump monitoring is going to break you down.

Who is obsessed now? - Some might say

[ In Reply To ..]
The one who is answering EVERY SINGLE post that is not in favor of Trump?

I think you need to plant some flowers and calm down, no?

It is my constitutional right to resist, and resist I shall.

Another thing that might kill you, there IS actually objective truth! The truth is that Trump keeps changing his mind all the time, has NOT accomplished much at all in his first 100 days, and now he seems to be very keen on 2 things: Playing golf at Mar-A-Lago and blowing things up.

So those facts exist, and they are true, like it or not.

For real? You want to know how many times - Trump goes to his second home in Florida?

[ In Reply To ..]
And when doing this tracking, you get to feel "sick, sick, sick."

Who in their right mind does this? Seriously.

If you do not feel sick by this man stealing all - that money from us taxpayers

[ In Reply To ..]
Then maybe you are the one not in your right mind?

Honestly, that page is kind of a joke page but it serves to show how much one weekend at his so-called "winter white house" (I call bull on that too, he obviously was planning on spending every weekend there so was trying to normalize it, he did not) costs, and how much it could pay for for us poors - Meals on Wheels, National Park Service, etc., well, that is what makes me feel sick, and so it should everyone.

He and his family are extremely selfish and proligate and he is questionably sane IMHO.

Resist.

If I dwell on any government spending I get sick BUT - I do not worry about what I cannot fix.

[ In Reply To ..]
The whole political system is corrupt and our taxpayer dollars are wasted on friends of politicians who are given grants to conduct ridiculous studies as well as giving money to other countries while Americans are hurting.

But I do not focus on it. I just voted for Trump and hoped he could stop the corruption as opposed to crooked Hillary who milked the corrupt system for everything she could.

As far as posters who are projecting Trump will fail it is the same as the old saying "you are cutting off your nose to spite your face" hoping Trump will fail.

Resist away and wish for the worst. To me that is not intelligent.

And here is a fond memory of when the - Daily Caller censured Obama

[ In Reply To ..]
For spending $3 million in 2015 - Wow! Oh wait, that's the whole year, not just one weekend like Trumpy costs us.

Now, The Daily Caller is not fake news, right? It is to me, of course, but along with Fox News, most Trump fans just love the Daily Caller.

Hey, Daily Caller, up your game and report on this president, why don't you? Oh, it's okay because he's yours? Well that's not very fair, is it?

For your reading enjoyment.

I do not think Obama sat at his desk 8-5 - You want a tax refund

[ In Reply To ..]
or what?

Why are you lefties up in details of Trump's business dealings? What's wrong with having a business meeting while golfing.

Do you know how much money in general is - spent on nonsense by taxpayers?

[ In Reply To ..]
Including but not limited to wasteful spending on useless jobs and overpaid government employees.

Slow news day for Trump haters. Good to see lefties can get their nasty on even on Easter weekend. Hope that Trump vent makes you all feel better. In the meantime, don't you all have something better to do than focus on Trump.

Have a nice Easter.

It seems like only liberal "fact checkers" are allow to - determine "facts" now.

[ In Reply To ..]
Even Google, one of the world’s largest media companies, is using other media entities as “fact-checkers” who have themselves been repeatedly found to be altering facts in order to push a far-left agenda.

As noted by The Daily Wire:

Who are the vaunted checkers, the ones charged with sussing out the truth and stating it without bias? Salon. Buzzfeed. Snopes. The Washington Post. Politifact.

Seriously. Couldn’t they find more liberal “news” sites?

Google calls them “authoritative sources.” Snopes? Buzzfeed? Factcheck? And The Washington Post of today is nothing like it was 40 years ago.

Take as an example, some information that was “fact-checked” by Snopes. If you look up the phrase, “Hillary Clinton sold uranium to Russia” on Google, the results will return a small icon at the bottom that says, “Fact-check by Snopes.com: False.”

Don’t be duped by these media fakes.

Who is fact checking Trump's vacations and why did they try to hide the cost of Obama and family vacations? Judicial Watch had to go to court to get that released!
