Trip to Mar Lago costs US $3,000,000 per weekend

[tcxr750]

Trump proposes cut of $4,000,000 to Council on Homelessness.
There are approximately 40,000 homeless veterans on any specific night. I'm sure our veterans would be proud to be homeless so that our President can enjoy the luxury that his great wealth entitles him to.

Anyone, of any party, in any year, who complains or ever complained, about the cost of Presidential travel is a stupid person whose opinions may be freely ignored.

I don't think we should overlook how serial draft dodger is now treating those who served their country!

How much is he cutting welfare to women and minorities? $4 billion? He should cut it all...or enough to fund the veterans.

It's tough to be a target. And that's what they are in many cases because of SOFAs and rules or engagement.

You elected "our Royalty". That's what the president does...he jet sets and hosts parties for royalty.

What do you think he does? You think his desk is full of balance sheets for "him" to make his budget? Do you think it's covered with law books to help "him" develop policy? His desk is clean except when it's "signing time".

The president is put there by the real rulers. I think they may know that the minority majority is at a tipping point and America turning into Mexico II isn't a good thing for them either. Trump won like Obama won. They were each all the media talked about. They were put there.

ONLY to stop Clinton? Maybe. Hillary has lost by real upsets both times she's run. Someone...MANY (?)...don't want her as president.

Let the party begin. trump said “he would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done” and “would not be a president who took vacations” The suckers who voted for him are now paying up in many ways. So called president trump has conned you again.

I said the same thing to the Obama golf trip whiners... You simply do not understand what is involved in moving the President from one location to another.

[wjboyer1]

Why do people always bring up Obama and Clinton in their arguments? Trump clearly chided them both for their exuberance and excesses, and lying, and being in the pockets of financiers and other wealthy people that Trump said that they were beholding to....Trump clearly has been lying, spending money excessively, is campaigning rather than governing, is in the pockets of fossil fuel magnets, does not care for the poor, the elderly, the disabled, and children, not to mention the judiciary, the intelligence community, and the non-partisan agencies that report facts rather than editorialize those facts; so why excuse this behavior with contstantly bringing up Obama and Clinton? He is proving to us all that a person who makes promises can and has attained the Presidency of the United States, and he is proving daily, that he has a very weak grip on reality. Karma is a powerful thing, and it underlines the old saying," what comes around, goes around...". Let's just hope that the Congress and the Judiciary have the BALLS(figuratively speaking of course) to call him out on his outrageous behavior, his constant lying, his accusations of a previous President without a thread of evidence, and then blaming the whole thing on FOX NEWS. Dignity and ethics are not partisan. It is undignified to make fun of a disabled person, no matter what excuses pundits make for that behavior. It is undignified to make fun of a standing senator who was a prisoner of war as not a hero, then, taking a purple heart from a veteran and saying that it was alot easier getting it that way, even after 4 deferments that allowed him NOT to serve in the armed forces. It is undignified to brag about sexually assaulting women and then have the financial resources to intimidate a dozen women who came forth to accuse him of that very thing. These are not ideological, nor are they partisan issues but rather are questions of decency and honor. It seems that this president lacks both, not to mention his lack of mental stability and intelligence.

TRip 5 coming up, party party.

My favorite combat dodging story is always going to be John Kerry's.
His father pulled strings to get John assigned to Swift Boat duty which, at the time, was basically off shore taxi duty as a part of "Operation Market Time".
About one week before John showed up, they changed the duty, sending the boats up into the river system and including raids into enemy territory.
I bet the salt flowed fast and free in the Kerry mansion that day.

You and trump have the same idea, attach the war hero's, Kerry and McCain. You should be ashamed of your self. You and trump did not even serve and you have the gall to degrade them.

It is my sincere belief that, unless there is a substantive change, Trump is destroying the entire Republican party, AS WELL as the conservative movement.

His strong supporters are from the very extreme of conservatives, but since his election, the move has already started to move left so as not to get involved in what is extreme (alt right is too general).

Again, without further serious change, and I have said since day one, since he cannot shut up about himself, he better show serious economic gains quickly or the election in 2018 could be very damaging.

To you point, it is alarming to hear people still support his lying and actually, UNAMERICAN, rhetoric. Listening to him totally lie about Germany and NATO was incredibly troublesome. His lies bout health insurance re just as serious.

NONE OF THESE LIES are necessary (watching basketball now and the term unforced error comes to mind)... he simply cannot stop from lying. When he accuses, incorrectly, Germany of not paying their way with NATO, and says HE will get rid of some kind of lines between states (there is no federal law phrobiting insurance between states) I just cringe.

How any American can support this man is beyond me. I DO understand how he got elected, but any continued support cannot be backed up.

I gotta add that I support much of what he "sort of" proposes, but he cannot even allow those to go forward without sticking HIMSELF in the middle. It is about the USA and not Trump

To validate my point of splitting the Republican Party, despite all the "togetherness", "we are together" and how "beautiful". The below is from FOX insider and is openly advocating people to leave if you don't like it..

"Eric Bolling said Saturday that President Trump's most ardent critics are not the media or the Democrats, but the establishment Republicans.

"They fight him, they make ridiculous demands, they put up political roadblocks," Bolling said on "Cashin' In."

He said the "RINO" establishment unsuccessfully tried to derail the "Trump Train" last year and continues to act in a "panicking, hemorrhaging [and] influencing" manner.

Kerry was NEVER a war hero. He was a chicken sh*t coward. Ask anyone that knew him and ask your friend Hanoi Jane the other traitor that Hillary probably attempted to emulate.

WOW...a very childish, uninformed short note to demonize 3 people at one time.

2 of them, whether you like or not gave many years of service to the USA.

Yet you idolize a man who never did one single thing....not one thing...for his country, and is now in the process of brining shame to the office of President, and being mocked on the international stage. Also more and more his actions are appearing very un American to many.

Bowe Bergdahl served his country.

Respond to post 13 and we can talk. You are only on here to post your little snide one liners, which is okay..that seems to be your ceiling

No, Kerry was a coward and served only to further his political career. Hillary did nothing for anyone but herself, and maybe her ugly duckling offspring. At least Hanoi Jane was honest about being a scumbag traitor.

Wow, who handcuffed you to the keyboard and locked you into this site?

It is OK for you to spout your garbage, but if anyone disagrees with you, it becomes "hate." Do you realize how many folks are laughing at you right now?

What exactly have you contributed?
I have started many threads with actual links to news articles. I have never started a thread with a personal opinion like man of you leftards. I gave up about a week ago with starting threads because I realized that you have given up on discussing the issues, just disparaging YOUR PRESIDENT.

Tell me when you decide to grow a pair and settle for a decent discussion about issues and policies without acting stupid and I will join you. Otherwise, if you don't like my responses, then don't says stupid things.

Legally, for the moment, trump is president, but he is not my president.

I can't respond to post #13 because I'm not willing to claim Liberal Donald Trump. I will tolerate him, as long as he continues on the path to fiscal responsibility. When he fires 500,000 federal employees, he'll be "my" President.

What difference does it make, WHERE? Kerry is a scumbag poser that has gotten by because he married a rich woman. He is also a tax evader. He ported his yacht in another state to avoid paying high taxes from his home state. There are more facts working against him than for him. Defend him if you wish, but he will never be a relevant political figure again.

[LadyPenO]

Trump will do more for Veterans during his administration than has been done in the past eight years.

Maybe you truly believe that. A very immature and naive attitude. An example of one that is really in denial. It makes one wonder why you are even on this forum.

If we kick out 20,000,000 illegal aliens, they can each have 36 houses.

No...that'll only open up about 25 houses...they pack them in there pretty tight.

I see no one has a good response to these $3 million per weekend golfing vacations. Because there is no sane response. The guy should be busy working at his job as President his first few months in office, instead he has to go check on his business interests, unwind on the golf course, and catch up on his tweeting. Clearly living in the White house is a step down for him, and he misses his penthouse lifestyle. What an embarrassment to the country.

Maybe because no one cares? After all, these are only weekends, not real vacations. And after all, he is getting more done during his 18 hour work days than Obama did in a week. Trump works at a faster pace. He takes the job seriously. If this is the best you can do, complain about his taking a weekend off, then you have nothing but a pathetic argument. Shoot, if not what he does on his weekends, you complain about his tweets. Why don't you discuss his policies? Probably because you know he is working FOR America instead of against it.

Just like how Executive Order 13603 of March 16, 2012, Executive Order 12919 of June 3, 1994, Executive Order 12656 of November 18, 1988, Executive Order 11921 of June 11, 1976, Executive Order 11490 of October 28, 1969, Executive Order 10421 of December 31, 1952, and any others going back to the Defense Production Act of September 8, 1950, which would have "allowed the President to declare martial law and stay in power forever"... bitching about the vacation cost has been a perennial favorite of the idiotic tinfoil hat societies who cannot remember any events farther back than two weeks ago.
The only proper response to these complaints is "STFU & GTFO".
