Trump goes golfing on the taxpayer dime

[someoneyouknow]

After repeatedly saying he wouldn't have time to go golfing, that he would be too busy working, Trump has spent the past four weekends golfing. Each time he goes to Mar-a-Lago, from which he receives unconstitutional emoluments, the U.S. taxpayer picks up the tab to the tune of millions:

Of course Trump's aides deny he's golfing each time he heads south even after golf pros posting on social media talked about golfing with Trump. After all, when caught in a lie, it's what they do best.

As this article relates, Obama's first round of golf took place over three months after he took office.

The con artist strikes again.

Is Trump billing the Federal government for the green fees on his own courses?

 

[sr71plt]

Of course he is. He said during the campaign that he could make money off of being president--while still in office.

Let's see for eight years it was just being petty to bring up how often the President played golf, but now it's a serious topic. He's using his own club, and I imagine he pays for everything besides security and communications just like President Obama. It is so funny to see liberals get bent out of shape about everything.

I like how golfing and blowing shit tons of taxpayer dollars is suddenly a concern for (D)'s.

LMFAO......enjoy that socialism and stay crying you special snowflakes you!!

Wait till Trump bombs an American like Obama did, they will flip the fuck out and call it a crime against humanity and a gross violation of Constitutional rights!!!

Because it's not a (D) doing it....as long as it's a (D) ANYTHING goes. Anything. Doesn't matter how horrible or fucked up it is, they wouldn't DARE say a fuckin' word about it as long as it's a (D) doing it.

That's really all phro, SR and SYK care about, (D), and that's it.

It's so nice to see all the excuses being made for the con artist.

"I'll put Hillary in jail if elected president." Didn't happen

"I won't be golfing, I'll be too busy working." 4 straight weeks of golfing

"I'll repeal and replace Obamneycare on day one." Still waiting

"I'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it." Sends bill to Congress to pay

"I know more than the generals." Dodged the draft

"I'll drain the swamp." Hires four Goldman Sachs employees and one from Rothschild

"I'm a great businessman." Multiple failed businesses and a bail out by George Soros

"She's a liar!" Nearly every statement made to date is a lie

"She's corrupt." Says the man who ran a scam posing as a "university" and whose foundation illegally paid his legal bills, his personal bills and bought him things

Remember, it's only bad when the other guy does it. When your guy does it it's no big deal. Classic hypocrisy.

Trump family trips cost taxpayers $11.3m in one month – almost as much as Obama’s cost in a year

guardian.com

Seems very clear to me. Trump is filling his own pockets by robbing the taxpayer.

Let us compare Trump extravagance to a myth created by alt right sites

The only source for the claim about the mind-blowing $200 million per day expense outlay was a single foreign news report which quoted an anonymous Indian official and provided no detail whatsoever (or even a general explanation) about how the $200 million sum was derived or could possibly be expended.

Any presidential trip abroad (the purpose of this trip is official business, not a personal “vacation,” as claimed by some sources) involves considerable expense to transport and house security officials and presidential aides and staffers, and those costs will likely be on the higher side for this trip
since President Obama will be traveling to a city which was recently the target of terrorist attacks.

However, citing a cost figure of $200 million per day stretches credulity to the breaking point: That number would entail a total outlay of $400 million for the two-day visit (a whopping $2 billion if the cost were applied across the entire ten-day trip), and even if President Obama were accompanied by a prodigious 3,000-person entourage, with the U.S. government picking up the entire tab for all of them, the U.S. would have to be spending the unbelievably staggering sum of $66,000 per person per day to reach that figure.

As a follow-up, Trump has spent 1/3 of his days in office at his Florida club. That's 11 days out of 33 for the uneducated Trump supporters on here.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/president-trump-mar-a-lago-trips-cost-taxpayers-millions/

But I'm sure excuses will be made how it's fine for Trump to go golfing after a few days in office, after he said he wouldn't go golfing because he'd be too busy.

Maybe it's better for us all if he's golfing rather than busy. When he gets busy, he's chomping on shoe leather.

Why bother any rational explanation is lost on people like you, so just put on your pussy had and keep screaming that Trump is responsible for the lousy weather or the sorry state of your life.

All we've heard from the right is irrational explanations based on lies. A rational explanation would be welcome.

 

[sr71plt]

Oh, you quoted Yawn. I have him on ignore as he has nothing constructive to contribute to anything. I get a kick out of knowing he's foaming at the mouth at me and just spitting into the void.

This from the person who threatened the life of the president in a post. You don't care what I say yet you always comment on things I post. Also I'm not foaming at the mouth like yourself. I'm calmly watching the situation and taking it all in. You on the other hand are proving several stereotypes. Let go of the anger.

Oh let me count the ways...

1. Did you really expect a manhunt to happen for Shillary as soon as he was elected? Substantial evidence takes time to compile for a case, but god knows the fucking trail she left behind, it'l catch up to her eventually.

2. Is a man supposed to work 24/7? No free time what-so-ever? If i recall, Obama played around 333 rounds of golf. Where was the outrage over that, when he was supposed to be the agent of "hope" and try and fix the mess? Fucking nowhere. Now dont get me wrong, if he does it to even a quarter of the extent that obama did, that be kinda bad, but four weekends is not that bad.

3. I have not delved into this aspect of his policies fully just yet, so i will abstain from spewing any sort of opinion about it.

4. Lets be quite clear. Mexican Illegal immigration is an issue. from the shit fence we had before, to poor enforcement of border policies, to "sanctuary" cities which are complete bullshit and are harboring criminals. I understand wanting to get away from mexico and live a better life, but when i see these same people come HERE, then go "viva la MEXICO, viva la rasa, etc. etc." and blatantly disrespect the system they have fled to, but as soon as they try to get deported, oh their life will be OH so ruined. So then what the fuck happened to "viva la mexico"? This comes from a Mexican. And that doesn't even TOUCH the cartels funneling drugs through our shit border.

5. I don't know much about this paraphrased quote of "I know more than the generals" But on the topic of draft dodging, he probably did it in a time that the Vietnam war was raging. Many were opposed to this, and many others dodged the draft. I would have if I was going to be forced into a war I don't agree with.

6. If that's the case, that fucking sucks.

7. His failed businesses, when you look at the total amount of businesses hes owned and ran, its only a very small portion of those businesses that failed, but what potential business doesn't fail when you are expanding yourself further? He has had a very high success rate with most of his businesses, I can only imagine the ones that failed were due to experimental business strategies. As for a bail out by George Soros..I hope that's not the case.

8. Is the statement that Abraham Lincoln, back in a theater, got shot in the head and died, a lie? Because that statement was technically made just now, by me. Am I a liar?

9. From what i recall, the people who got "fucked over" by trump university had a full year to withdraw themselves from said program, granting themselves the full refund of it. They went over the specified date, people bitched, and thus we have a lawsuit

See, the difference between me and you is that I can understand and see that Trump has some glaring flaws, but you can't deny that he already isnt doing some good for the country. If you do, you would be a straight fucking liar. Lead example would be the companies that pulled out of transferring overseas to stay on american soil, giving americans jobs. Multiple companies from what i remember. Do i agree with his stance on climate change? Fuck no. I think hes dumb in that aspect, but at this point, the best bet would be to simply funnel our efforts into the economy, so more funds get distributed to R&D teams for more cleaner energy, and other solutions to pollution. Im suprised i never see nuclear energy being talked about, despite it actually being one of the more safer energy sources to work with (unless bomb related)...tangent again. Point being, I think we can see an increase in our economy soon, if not, and if things do actually get worse..i dont think the american people will be able to take it anymore.

Like fucking Barry never went golfing and we paid out the ass for it but I know.... it's different.

Yes, dummy, it's different. Trump is doing it like, 300 times for every time Obama did it. Surely you're not so stupid you don't understand that. And Trump is fleecing the government for millions for his weekly vacations.

Geez you Trumpets are stupid.

Dummy, you can't do math. Trump has only been in office for a short period of time. How the fuck do you think he's done it more than your chimp on tax payer dollars? Duh!
Receiving your welfare checks while we work has really screwed up your sense of reality. Time for you all to accept the reality that trump is in office. I don't remember crying like a bitch, burning buildings and destroying shit when Barry was elected. But of course we had better things to do, like work an honest living while trying to keep Barry out of our pockets supporting your asses and not paying for baby killing. Buy a fucking rubber, get on birth control or say no. Oh,and get a job.

 

[toeskr]

Sr whatever the fuck is trying to find his solar calculator, hey, maybe your free Obama phone had one on it, while he tries to come up with a sensible reply. But he had to stop to fill out a bogus reply on his welfare / foodstamp form saying I am looking for gainful employment. Protests and marches against, um.... whatever is real work right? Well, if not, surely burning down my lawful immigrant neighbors business is tough work. Being a snowflake is really hard. Somebody feel sorry for me. Lol

 

[someoneyouknow]

Which is the entire point. Trump bragged he wouldn't go golfing because he would be too busy working and the uneducated deplorables ate it up.

For three straight weeks Trump's gone golfing and yet people like you defend him saying it's no big deal.

It is the literal definition of hypocrisy.
