Well, we already know the rooms are free. Have you forget the hissy fit you guys had about Trump, the hotel guy, making money on renting rooms to foreign dignitaries and such and thought it to be a conflict of interest? I'm pretty sure he's not charging the US government room rates in order to keep you guys from stroking out.

What about the first lady..Melania?
how many vacations has she taken thus far?

In comparison, the previous first lady Michelle would have taken several trips by this time

I have no problem with the trips and I have no problem with the federal government footing the bill, but local and state governments and private businesses should not be taking a hit or being penalized.

This is true for all presidents. There were plenty of stories of local business losing money when Obama was in town because they were basically shut down for hours or days.

If I own a charter plane service and I cannot operate while the president is there, that's BS.

You say this as if we are being ridiculous for being concerned about the POTUS having conflicts of interest with his business. Funny how having a guy you support in power makes you not give a shite about the basics, huh?

I have a problem when the President spends half a billion in non essential travel and security costs in a single year.

The next 4 years are going to be great watching you and the other Trump haters waste your time whining about every little thing President Trump and his administration says or does.

Y'all can continue to put your heads up your asses all you want. The end of that four years won't be great if a Democrat is elected because Trump continued to frick up. This kind of nonsense is supposedly why he was elected, and he can even manage the basic shite.

By every appearance, Trump does work while he is there (and certainly will be this weekend).

Plus, unlike Barry, there are no costs involved in the location itself (Trump owns the place).

I just think it's hysterical that you think a business charging for a hotel room is some kind of underhanded doings in order to curry favors. Now if the business is charging more for the rooms as opposed to what you or I would have to pay for said room, then you'd have a point. However, we don't know that.

Marco Rubio = John McCain in terms of being a backstabbing POTUS wanna be.

I hated having to vote for him in the election because I knew he would do nothing but cause problems for the Trump administration.

Trump is going to spend the weekend at a place he owns. I would not call that a "vacation".

Obama spending 2 weeks in Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard where he and Michele take different planes is a vacation.
