Trump Weekend Getaway Could Cost Taxpayers $3 Million

I don't have time to go back and trawl BB with the search function. But whenever I do, it does not turn out well for you. I wouldn't issue these types of challenges anymore.

Anyway, Trump spoke at CPAC, the conservative political action committee a year or two ago. And he's going to speak there again on Friday. I thought they only allowed conservatives to speak there. View attachment 1264

Now, do you care to offer an opinion on Trump spending as much in a month in travel as Obama did in a year and going golfing three weekends in a row? That's what the thread is about, not Trump's conservative bona fides.
He doesn't take a pay check?

.

All of which simply means you can't think of anyone here who has stated Trump is a conservative.

So basically, you're referring to people outside of BB.

Because they can't address the issues, just hurl invectives.

I got a Disagree rating from ChrisTheSaved on my post for saying this:

  • Obama would have slashed defense spending if he could have.
  • Trump is supposed to be a conservative.
  • Obama is not the President.

Does it bother you to get a disagree rating?

Let's see...

Obama did slash defense spending.
Trump is not a conservative.
Comparisons with Obama are useful for pointing out Trump hater's hypocrisy, so you don't like them.

I'd say you deserve a disagree. So I gave you one , too. Just because it bothers you.:p

Nope. Not at all. If true. BTW Did Obama take a salary?

I'll complain when Melania starts taking vacations at taxpayer expense and drags her mother and other distant relatives along with her. Spain would be a good place to start.

I'll also complain when Trump continues a golf match during times of national distress.

And finally, I thought you didn't like Trump/Obama comparisons. You complain about them constantly. But this one fits your agenda, right?

Not only that but every trip costs the local economy. The Lantana airport may go out of business from revenues lost. They have to close the airport every time he flies in or out. There is overtime costs to the sheriff and local police, road closures are coating local businesses money from lost sales.

$400,000 a year is irrelevant?

what planet do you live on?

Earth. It's irrelevant in light of the massive expenses he's racking up.

Sure, it's a nice thing to forego the salary, but I'd rather he keep the salary and calm down on the Mar-A-Lago garbage.

I assume he's working while on "vacation" and not neglecting the nation's business like Obama did so often when on "vacation". Obama is the first president I have ever seen neglect his duties while on "vacation".

When Trump starts neglecting our business, I'll start complaining about his "vacations" and what he spends on them. Might even suggest he take a salary and forego the "vacations".;)

BTW I wonder if the Obamas stole any furniture when they left the white house?

What makes you think Trump is working while on vacation? What makes you think Trump is working while in the White House?

How many trips did the previous occupant of the White House (who's name is not worthy of mention) do so on our dime? Hmmm. And how many times has that previous occupant flown on Air Force One all by himself, while his wife flew on another "Air Force One", so-to-speak, and his two daughters and their dogs flew a third "Air Force One"...all while a on a taxpayers dime? And why wasn't the media outraged over that? Besides I wonder: did anyone bother to ask President Trump if he financed the Florida trips himself, and not the taxpayers? Juuuuuust checking.

This is all irrelevant until we see what Trump does in 8 years.

Obama added 10 trillion to the national debt in 8 years, lets see how much Trump reduces or increases it in 8 years.
