Career federal employees work through changes in Administration under whatever President is elected, whatever party is in charge. That's not "partisan." That's "duty to country."

Steaming garbage.

So Mulvaney told the truth, and then tried to walk it back.

This just keeps getting better.

Trump popped an aneurysm when his aides explained what Mulvaney did, so Mulvaney dutifully issued a statement "clarifying" (i.e. directly contradicting) what he'd said earlier in the day.

The Trump Administration primary line of defense seems to be coalescing around "Yeah, we did it...so what?"

Also worth noting is Trump will personally profit 8 figures from hosting next year's G7 summit at one of his rundown resorts (Doral). Spiro Agnew resigned in 1974 for the exact sort of kickback.

Times have changed.

This is a lie. Trump said he will not be making any money on the event. He isn't making any money as President either. His kids are working for nothing as well.

It's actually more pathetic than that.

"Once again, the media has decided to misconstrue my comments to advance a biased and political witch hunt against President Trump,” the White House chief of staff said.

Someone should explain to the moron that it is all on tape. Just more of the Trump administrations attempt to tell their followers not to believe what they see and hear.

...the Deep State consists of career federal government employees whose repulsive political partisanship to the statist quo is more vital to them than simple, INDEPENDENT, INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY-loving duty to their country OVER ALL PARTISAN POLITICS.

Try to keep up, short bus.

How 'bout a blast back into the past? First, let's retrace our steps to before the 2016 election when it was still socialist/progressive/Democrat candidate Clinton vs. statist/conservative/Republican candidate Trump. And then let's revisit those good old times when it was President-elect Trump heading toward inauguration day...

Presidential Transition
Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire
Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.
By KENNETH P. VOGEL and DAVID STERN 01/11/2017 05:05 AM EST

Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

A Ukrainian-American operative who was consulting for the Democratic National Committee met with top officials in the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington in an effort to expose ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia, according to people with direct knowledge of the situation.

It's hardly a short read, full of detailed, investigative reporting, so I can easily see why it won't be entirely read by many. And I doubt any GB socialists/progressives/Democrats will take it to heart at all, seeing as then their mirrors would show them plainly for the hypocritical, emotionally hyperbolic, hysterical partisan hacks they truly are.

how will he not make any money from his place hosting the summit?

as for not taking a wage, he's cost the taxpayer far more than his wages would have been simply through all his golfing

No, what's actually pathetic is you fantasizing anyone who sees and hears exactly what you do MUST consider it exactly like your putrid partisan hack ass does. That's the dictionary definition of "bigotry", bigot.

And, what's truly hilarious is you tagging anyone else "hyper-partisan" as you stare into your own mirror. That's the dictionary definition of "hypocrisy", hypocrite.

Trump said? He’s told 13,000 lies. Free advertising and promotion alone is worth untold millions of dollars, doofus.


And as far as not making money for being President, he’s making what he’s worth.

From a combination of an analysis from the HuffPost, the GAO or General Accounting Office, Politico and the Washington Post using costs from both Obama and Trump golf trips the estimated cost of Trump’s visits so far come to a range of $105 to $108 million.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

President Donald Trump's golf outings have already cost U.S. taxpayers at least $102 million, according to an analysis from the HuffPost.

The $102 million paid by Americans to cover security and travel expenses on the golf trips during Trump's almost two and half years in office was about $12.7 million less than what Barack Obama and his family spent on travel during Obama's eight years in the White House, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog that relies on open records laws.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s estimated that Trump’s golf outings have cost the US taxpayer approximately $105 million since being sworn in as president of the United States on January 20th, 2017. The cost breakdown is around $88 million for Florida based golf trips, $9.0 million for New Jersey trips and $8 million for other golfing trips in Scottland, Japan, and other locations. Costs include estimated travel costs as well as government and security costs.

Late last year, in a Miami conference room, a consultant for President Donald Trump's company said business at his prized 643-room Doral resort in Florida was in sharp decline.

At Doral, which Mr Trump has listed in federal disclosures as his biggest moneymaker hotel, room rates, banquets, golf and overall revenue were all down since 2015. In two years, the resort's net operating income - a key figure, representing the amount left over after expenses are paid - had fallen by 69 per cent.

It’s the Zika virus!!

In his new book Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump, Rick Reilly writes of visiting the president’s signature golf property, Trump Doral. He was shocked by how few people were patronizing the Miami, Florida, resort. “I went there and it was so empty you could shoot a machine gun,” he told Rolling Stone last month. “In fact, the day I left someone did come in and sprayed the place with a machine gun and no one got hurt, because no one was there. I walked all over, and I saw one group.”
He said the same was true of Trump International, in Scotland; Trump International at Doonbeg, in Ireland; and Trump Ferry Point, in Queens, New York. “I think the presidency has really hurt his golf business,” said Reilly.

The Post‘s report comes a day after Bloomberg revealed that Trump’s 36-year-old flagship property, Trump Tower, is also in trouble. Those selling condos in the monolithic Midtown building are doing so at losses of up to 20 percent. Again, this isn’t a market issue, as Bloomberg points out that just 0.23 percent (57 out of 24,871) of homes sold in Manhattan in the past two years have been sold at a loss. “The luxury market is softening,” Matthew Hughes, a Manhattan-based broker at Brown Harris Stevens, told Bloomberg. “But it’s rare that someone owns an apartment here for 10 years and takes a loss.”

When the Post contacted the Trump Organization directly, the company blamed the decline at Doral on the Zika virus and hurricanes warding off tourists. But Vachiratevanurak, as well as statistics provided by the company to Miami-Dade County, make clear that Trump Doral is being outperformed by competing resorts.

Trump Tower also features office space that has remained vacant despite being priced under market value, as well as an occupancy rate that has dipped from 99 percent to 83 percent over the past seven years, according to Bloomberg. Though the building still turns a profit, this is due in part to Trump’s campaign renting out space. Regardless, its income is 26 percent lower than what banks projected when they were sizing up Trump for a $100 million loan in 2012.
