Well CNN in this Youtube vid seems to be correct here, Trump said one thing on the campaign trail and now is doing another.
Yes, it is amazing that CNN is finally covering presidential vacation costs.
But two important distinctions, Trump is actually visiting his real home from his temporary White House residence. The 2nd is that if Trump were not president he could still do the same thing.
One point I would like CNN to answer is how much is Trump charging the GVT (e.g., Secret Service) to stay at Mar A Largo?
**********************************************
Answer:
Something that was revealed during the last Presidency about the WH few seem to know much about. The POSTUS put off security renovations until he left the WH. It was thought to be Trump would not be able to stay in the WH during the first year of his Presidency. The trips to Mar A Largo are due to these security renovations. Having him in the WH at all is impressive given the WH has construction going on. 171 posted on 4/16/2017, 10:10:52 AM by zaxtres
From post #71:
IMHO Trump needs to address this, and I would recommend something like this: “To the American People, I was legally elected president. However the fake news outlets want you to believe it was because of Russia. I am trying my best for you, but with this 24/7 assault I after 80 hours in the white house working, I need some quit time, and where I know I am not being wiretapped. So I go to Mar a Lago on weekends.”
The President is a workaholic and even golfing and having dinner, he is working. You can complain when he takes an entourage to Hawaii or Tahiti!
As a Christian NYer, it doesn’t always signify anti-Semitism. It often means evil liberal values, homosexuality, etc. But, then again, sometimes it absolutely DOES mean anti-Semitism. And since the Kushners are Jewish...
Camp David - South
Mar-a-Lago and golf are both brilliant moves by Trump.
And a bargain compared to the Clinton/Bush/Obama practice to trumping up some useless photo op in a different city every day while they go from fundraiser to fundraiser on the taxpayer dime.
I believe Trump took a huge pay cut to become President?
Not to mention he has to put up with a lot of bogus made up crap from the likes of CNN and its propagandist cohorts in the MSM/DNC.
Not sure why you see this as a big deal. Even the RATS know this is BS, in fact, they wish he WOULD start taking real vacations instead of working around the clock, wherever he may physically be/doing while he works.
What in hell are you babbling about? He’s almost always working whilw Mar A Lago?
Well....no...He’s left Tahiti..... for the French Riviera, don-sha know....
I like peanut butter on celery sticks.
After the Obama hundreds of million dollar real vacations.....I am supposed to care?
Who gives a damn? If he's more comfortable out of DC and his own resort, so be it/
Go let off your #NeverTrump aghast over athe Daily Kos or get a new hobby.
Why would I call China a currency manipulator when they are working with us on the North Korean problem? We will see what happens!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 16, 2017
? He'WORKING there unlike Obama when he went on his golf trips. He own the resort so the lodge is FREE.
Getting out of DC is healthy thing.
Never Trumpers or NeverEverHappy are as deranged as libtards about Trump.
“I love it when freepers put up a stupid post and then draw themselves up to their full height and start mentioning their military service”
On September 11, 2002 I was in DC working protection issues. A few months later I was in Crawford continuing working these issues. In 2004 I was at ST Simon’s Island working G8 protection issues.
So who has the stupid post?
Berkeley’s calling. Complain to Jim and get me silenced as that is the leftest way.
Oh.....I was about to complain to you but you said “people” and not “legal voters” so I guess you’re right. :0)
I do not consider him outed.
Did CNN consider it a vacation every time OBama played golf?
ISn’t Mar-A-Lago his home which does not cost the taxpayers a dime beyond security?
He does business, including hosting international leaders there and it does not require the SS, State, DHS to set up each time he visits unlike OBama who rented different private houses each trip.
“”Is Obama back from Tahiti yet?””
Who knows and who cares? I did get an email with an article about him going to Germany to appear with Merkel to bolster her re-election chances. The person sending the article asked if that wasn’t a violation of the Hatch Act? I guess it would be if he blasts our country while he’s there - if he keeps his yap shut about the U.S.A., probably not.
Those few aside, CNN still has lots and lots of deluded viewers to feed
We ignore that at our peril
“Getting out of DC is healthy thing.”
