Do you think it is free to support and protect the President when he is in the White House?

Do you know what a fricking sunk cost is? Do the costs to run the WH go away when the President leaves?

Do you think Obama sat in the White House all day, every day?

Do you apply zero sum logic to all of your arguments? No. I just don't think the president, regardless of party (i suck no one's dick), should get to rack up millions of vacation debt over a term. The horror.

And how did a day away from the White House double in cost from when Obama was doing it in his second term? Weird.

Did it?

Let me ask it this way...how many days per year should a president get to go on vacation? Regardless of party? And how much of our money should they get to spend? For. Vacation?

I don't have a problem with it. It used to upset me, but then I realized that these guys work extremely hard. Obama and Bush before him (probably many others before them) spend a lot of time playing golf. But it's not like they're not getting work done when they're off somewhere for the weekend. These guys are never off the clock.

The money? That money isn't going to Trump's course. That money is going to be spent regardless because no matter where he is these security measures have to be put into place. Hell, if anything Trump is losing money on these deals because he isn't generating his normal revenue when the place is crawling with SS agents.

I stopped getting upset about it during the Obama administration actually, and I hated that guy.

And from what I've seen, Trump deserves downtime more than any of the rest of them. Have you noticed how hard this dude works? He's an old man and he works his arse off.

More power to him. He deserves some R&R, but he isn't gonna get it. He's still doing his daily presser. And holding meetings constantly. I'll be surprised if he gets in any more than 18 holes.
