Hi guys,

Well, where's President Trump this weekend. Staying at home as he said he would be doing on the campaign trail because there was a lot of work to be done and he wouldn't have time to goof off? Or, is he somewhere near hole 9 on another 6 million dollar weekend getaway?

Just wondering how long and how often we're going to have to foot these costs?

God bless you all,
In Christ, ted

As long as we keep flipping the bill for corporations, bankers, alcoholics, drug addicts and lazy people using government benefits to keep their lifestyle going, nothing is going to change.
Who decides that we are going to fund all those things.....Congress and the President that we elect.

The corporations, bankers, lazy people and all the rest of the liberal minded individuals are voting for the congressman who don't want any changes as proven by not passing the latest health care bill.
LOL. It was the most conservative Republicans in Congress,, the Freedom Caucus, who voted against this bill. They didn't need one Democrat's vote to pass it.

Rule 1. Even when it's a Republican Congress that votes against you, blame liberals and Democrats.

The liberal minded individuals including the lazy people want the government to take care of them so they benefit from all the government programs that are in place already but they would like single payer health care, free college tuition and other benefits besides.

The Establishment congressmen, both Democrats and Republicans, are making great wealth with all their favorite tax loopholes which only they, their rich friends and the lawyers that set up those tax loopholes benefit from until of course those tax loopholes are found out later on by tax lawyers and accountants outside of the government. Then they are closed to the public. This is the SWAMP that Trump keeps talking about because he knows about these tax loopholes. He has been taking advantage of those loopholes for many years.

The only way the U.S. government and congress will start working for the citizens of the U.S. is if they totally changed the tax laws and stop favoring the corporations and their stockholders.
A couple of mutually contradictory claims there, but please, don't let me stop you.

I seem to recal Trump being different to Obama was a major plank in the campaign? How come every time Obama golfed it was cause for indignant outrage, but with Trump it's fine?

He is at a golf course in Virginia:

Trump visits Trump-branded property for 8th consecutive weekend

Supposedly he is there for meetings but he has his golf glove on:

hmmmm....


So remember all the complaining about Obama playing golf? Trump has played every weekend except the first one.
Seems Republicans are okay if a Republican plays gold, just not Obama.

Costs so far?
$100,000 a day for Melania to be in New York (and whatever for Florida where she was Friday night)
Trump:
$3 million x 8 - $24,000,000.00 so far. .

President Trump’s trips to Mar-a-Lago have cost taxpayers an estimated $10 million

So Obama's total travel costs for 8 years was about $97 million. Trump is on track to spend more than that in one year. The trip to Virginia may not be quite as much but it is still a great deal of money.

Hi tull,

Of course, we've always paid for the president's excursions and vacations, as we should. However, we have never had a president who went off on 6 million dollar weekends pretty much every week. As someone has already replied, President Obama, in all of his 8 year term cost us about $97 million. That's about $12 million/year. President Trump costs us more than that every month!

The real gall of it is that this is the man who, on the campaign trail told us that he wasn't going to be off on vacations because there was too much work to be done. The truth of it now turns out that he isn't getting much of his work done and he's off gallivanting around pretty much every week. There are nearly 500 appointment positions that have yet to be filled. Everything he thinks he's done has been turned back. So, he's not working so hard that he won't be able to take the time off that he was sure he wouldn't be able to take when he was promising his voters how hard he was going to work.

Just another lie. By the time we're rid of him the mathematics community will have to expand the integer possibilities to cover how many lies, half-lies and twisting of the truths he will have told. Infinite isn't going to cover it.

God bless you,
In Christ, ted

Hi kenny,

Never mind. If it has to be explained to you, then you're too far out of the loop for it to even matter to you.

God bless you,

You see, that sounds good and all to someone who might not be paying attention, but in reality it's a classic case of find a way to discredit the opponent, when you have nothing viable to defend yourself/answer back with. :)

People support the ideology and not the person and will accept everything they accuse the opponent of doing when it comes from their chosen one,Trump lied,well Obama lied to and it was in service to his ideology and the followers of that ideology will look the other way,there is no integrity in politics and never has been.....there is only ideology,there are only supporters and opponents of any given ideology,all else is calculated risk and cost benefit analysis and applies to both elected and electorate.

Well he is doing a lot better than the rest. Investigations cost a lot of tax-payers dollars. Especially this investigations that the DNC are having done. Pretty soon that there will not be enough tax-payers money to spend on investigating crooked Hillary or Obama's birth-certificate. Better yet the President will not have time for these investigations because the DNC keep on coming up with fake new allegations. I wondering if the DNC are doing this purposely? HuHmmmm...

The cost of the Benghazi investigation
The Pentagon says that Congress’ multiple hearings, briefings, and interviews about the Benghazi scandal have cost taxpayers millions of dollars and taken up thousands of hours in personnel time. The cost of the Benghazi investigation

OOOhhh!!!, I'm so jealous. That the DNC has spent more tax-payers dollars than President Trump... Hey, the President better pick up the pace.

This is where the money for the wall had went to...

According to an Inspector General’s report, a staggering $6 billion dollars in State Department funds is missing—“misplaced,” in the words of Hillary Clinton. In one case, Hillary Clinton wrote a $50 million check for “services performed.” The paperwork for what exactly the “services performed” were has also been “misplaced.” Just for the Iraq Embassy in Bagdad, a staggering $2 billion is missing! Obama’s response to Hillary Clinton “misplacing” $6 billion dollars? Bombshell Report Links Hillary Clinton To Missing State Department Billions...

Hi guys,

Here's some more interesting little tidbits of how President Trump is bilking the American taxpayer:

How Trump can get paid for having the Secret Service protect his family

He actually charged the U.S. government 6 million dollars for the seats provided to his own Secret Service detail as he flew about on the campaign trail. He's billing the federal government for each and every one of his stays in his branded resorts along with all the rooms and food, etc. for his traveling detail. This weekend he stayed in one of his resorts in Virginia. I'm guess there was some infighting among his different resorts that Mar-a-Lago was getting all the taxpayer largess for his stays and other resorts wanted a piece of the pie. I believe that the latest count is that 18 people of his immediate and extended family are getting SS protection. The SS has already asked for a 60 million dollar increase in their protective services budget.

Are we great yet? I sure hope it comes soon so we can get this monkey off our backs. We've now got the richest and most expensive president we've ever had. I know during his campaign he said he wouldn't take the paycheck for the job, so there's a few hundred thousand he's letting us keep....Maybe.

I find it terribly odd that there isn't some grass roots movement up in arms about this. The citizenry have, for many years, been decrying the wasteful spending of taxpayer money. Funny that now there doesn't seem to be much being said about this gargantuan waste.

God bless you all
In Christ, ted
