Did the States of Maine or Texas complain about the Bushes’ visits to their homes??

The State of Florida is filled with many cucks, even if it went red.

What possible expenses does the “county” pay for with these Trump visits?

County LE might be tasked with protection, traffic control. Might run up overtime. Don’t recall HI having a cow, or Martha’s Vineyard. If Trump didn’t have to worry about spying and the uniparty, I might be sympathetic. But I can see why there might be a number of reasons he needs to go down there frequently. The uniparty made their bed. Now they can lie on it.

I’m not even going to bother looking for articles of Hawaii blubbering about Obama’s constant vacations.

It is just your typical people that only exist to whine, and now they are whining against Trump it is fit to publish.

From the article: ""Our police and fire, on the weekends the president is here, have to work at 120 percent capacity. That means hiring and paying overtime," she explained...That means closing local airspace, closing some roads, deploying special services and dealing with protesters for and against the president, which is overwhelming for a small resort..."

In fairness to Texas, the Bush ranch was in a rural area so there weren't many people around to disrupt or complain. Mar-a-Largo is in an urban area.

I’m going to guess these same people would roll out the red carpet if Obama or HRH Clinton came to visit.

I have no problem with a president, any president, taking time to relax and decompress. It’s important in a job like his. But I can also understand the issues people are complaining about and the financial hardships they are being subject to, so I would not be opposed to compensating them if that means that Trump can continue his weekends in peace and quiet.

Considering recent events, maybe Trump doesn’t feel safe in the White House. And who can blame him.

Of course, Obama’s shutting-down of Martha’s Vineyard for eight summers was just fine. /S

ordered renovations (bug planting) order before he left?.....Trump’s troops better clean up real good and if anything is discovered ....get snoops from the military,
notify a SCOTUS, and separately brief both leaders of the house and senate ( set the canary trap)

I bet they didn’t complain when he paid his property and business taxes over the years.
