Snarky CNN Segment Skewers Trump’s Travel Costs
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/13/2017 5:40:32 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The question of how much taxpayer money is being spent on President Trump’s travel to Mar a Lago is worthy of inquiry. But CNN’s approach to the subject this morning was a virtual parody of snarky, partisan snideness.

Alisyn Camerota trumpeted the fact that President Trump is on a pace to outspend in one year President Obama’s travel costs for eight years. But is that so? This AP fact check suggests she might be overstating the cost of presidential trips to Mar a Lago by a factor of three. Moreover, Camerota and guests depicted the Mar a Lago trips as nothing more than Trump golf outings. The reality is that the Palm Beach location has become a working Southern White House—witness its use as the site of President Trump’s meeting there with Chinese Premier Xi last week.

Start with a snide, anti-Trump CNN host. Add a long-time Trump antagonist as your guest. Shake well. Volia! Instant snarky, ant-Trump segment on his travel costs.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The Communist News Network is full oh $hit. If it was printed on paper, it would only be fit to use in the outhouse.

Never a word about Michelle Obama’s multi-million dollar vacations. The millions spent on food and parties.

I would never wipe my butt with a leftist rag. Might get an STD.

How many of the Florida trips were official state business, ie hosting foreign dignitaries?
I can recall two, Japanese PM and Chinese President, were there others?

Obama doubling the national debt and incurring more debt than ALL PRESIDENTS combined didn’t seem to bother them, they might be racists...

All I remember about Camarotta at Fox was that she kept claiming those nightclub owners in RI (where that band set the club on fire) just HAD to be innocent because......she knew them.

The Today Show just had the identical story! It’s being coordinated. Maybe the Russia theme has backfired and this is their new mantra.
