These preening blow-hards' only interest is in making him look bad, and they never get called out for how ignorant and uninformed their "gotcha" questions are. I love that he slapped it down like a boss.

It's like they sit around in their little clubhouse and compare who scores the most points with this crap, instead of actually trying to present facts.

If looks could kill Ike would have been guilty of murder.

He should have played more golf. He had like 5 heart attacks before the last one got him but it was marked down as covid19.

Great forward thinking in those days! What a nation of doers we were.

Trump doesn't take a salary, He's not taking political elites to Hawaii on Air Force jets, and he owns the golf club...next?

The most hilarious (and appaling) thing about his hypocrisy is that the taxpayers are paying money directly to Trump's businesses when he golfs or stays at lago.

Something else is interesting...



I wonder what changed in 2016

The Bushes both got bullied by the press into not playing golf while President. Sort of telling, if you ask me. Of course, I was in the camp of wanting Obama to do nothing else and certainly wasn’t upset with him being unabashed at doing so.

We went from a president with children who can't travel on their own to a president with children with families who all have to be protected.

Any chance that this could be because his children are adults with lives of their own rather than children and also hold positions in the administration?

Care to provide the source for this? I mean, your graph is cute, but it's showing 1500+ protected POTUS trips in 2018? Or is this all administration trips?

On average that's 3-4 trips a day, every day, for a year. I'm fairly confident your graph is complete made up trash...aka FAKE NEWS!!!

The post you quoted was responding to a poster who posted images of Trump tweets. It was a relevant response.

Okay, you got me. I had not clicked the link, because who clicks links for an obvious thread topic like this. This is a good bamboozle and I applaud OP.
