Taxpayers money: security costs for the Trump family
Posted on 3/20/17 at 5:55 am
Posted on 3/20/17 at 5:55 am
Serious questions:
Do you all find it perfectly ok for the $4million price tag for Trump to play his unprecedented number of rounds?
Do find it acceptable to pay $146k per day to cover the First Lady's desire to live apart in NYC (so Barron can go to school)?
Now, is it ok to pay for Eric Trump's security while in Europe on Trump business? The family business could easily pick up this tab......
My main issue is the Eric Trump scenario.

Hypocrites.

The whole golf/vacation angle was something I never had a problem with regardless of President
If the president travels anywhere outside of the White House there is going to be a security detail that costs money. It's part of it. Perhaps there is a way to where it won't be so expensive, but the president doesn't have a choice on this matter

This point been regurgitated on this board several times, but you can't even make yours correctly.

quote:People said the same thing about Michelle Obama's various trips. The same answer applies --- It is nothing but a pebble in the ocean. Especially with the cuts in federal government Trump is proposing, he can use Mar-a-Lago as the Winter White House, as often as he likes, just as it was intended by its builder.
Now, also keep in mind Barry's golf outings that some of you lost your minds about. Hypocracy is unflattering.....

I may not like that POTUS' play golf on the taxpayers dime, but it is established tradition - be it Bush, Clinton, Obama or Trump.

Well I'm probably in the minority here because I never complained about Obama playing golf (it's merely a faux outrage thing). I don't see anything wrong with presidents having some downtime.
Having said that, I think it would have been a good look for Trump to abstain at least a little to set himself apart.
On the issue of hypocrisy, this issue no different than any other. Everything Trump is doing republicans defend and Democrats condemn, and vice versa with Obama. That's just the way of things. It's silly to try and make it a gotcha moment.

Take some time to look up Michelle Obama's vacations to Africa, Hawaii, UK, etc over the 8 year span that is into the millions and get back to us...

You do realize that we have security details watching the Obama's every day right now don't you?
They are also watching the Clintons, Bush's , Carters,

Where the hell were you when Obama was flying everyfrickingpersonheknew to Hawaii to vacation 16 times a year?

And you think Trump is done?

A former President(s)? Yes.

No but no one opened their mouths about Obama & Michelle vacationing.

Ask a simple question and you get "but Obama!"......even if it is totally unrelated to said question.

He can play as much golf as he wants as long as he's not bailing out mega corporations who have invested poorly, paying for lazy people to sit around all day, then giving phones to lazy people, blasting through billions of dollars in a health care plan that wont work and that none of the legislators subscribed to, continue fighting a war to only not fight it, etc...
my point, where were you 8 years ago when the last president was spending trillions? Why do you care now about presidential spending? This is a two way street snowflake.

Answer the fricking questions.
Snowflake.....yep, long time Republican who refuses to let a TV conman con me. Ok. I'm a snowflake. Better than being a fool.

When Obama would come out to Vegas he rented out 2 floors at the Bellagio. Never heard a peep about that shite.
