Edmo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 As if we needed more evidence - put the govt in charge it costs 10 times what would seem logical. Who the president may be is irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the president may be is irrelevant. It's relevant when it is spent for golfing on a President who said he wasn't going to golf. It is relevant when he claimed he was going to cut spending and he increases spending on something that he has the most control over. #1 Where his wife and kid live and #2 where he spends his weekends.

He's already met quite a few leaders at his place in Florida. What better way to build relations than relaxing and playing golf with them. The kid and his wife will be at the White House soon.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 3, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 3, 2017 Trump should limit his visits to Mar a Lago and do more campaigning around the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anler Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I didnt bitch about it when Obama needed it and I am not going to bitch about it for Trump. This is the president and his security concerns are a lot different. Just shut the fuck up and worry about more relevant stuff. And yeah I know certain neocon beatoffs pounded everyday about Obama.

Zambroski Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm just glad Obama opened these extra security funding budgets for future presidents. THANKS OBAMA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 WGAF, if we want our presidents and their families to be safe there is a cost associated, certainly higher when a guy has multiple residences and family members to protect than ones who don;t but it's a rounding error in the overall scheme of things.

He can work from anywhere. He doesn't need to be chained to a desk. Just like you wouldn't expect a CEO to be chained to a desk. But I know the rules are different for Obama, he doesn't have a ranch or resort. Edited May 3, 2017 by Anler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the budget continuation was a joke. I put that on the GOP and Trump. Cut govt and taxes. Do not attack NK or Syria. Stay the fuck out of both.

As far as Presidential travel goes the only problem I generally have is campaigning. Some of that should be reimbursed to the taxpayer thru the parties funds.

Yep. My point on Trump staying in DC or going to Camp David more was referring to the 1st 100 days. People should know the potus is never off the clock and can in most cases work from about anywhere but the MSM and low information voter doesn't realize that.
