CNN EXPOSES Trump For Golf & Mar a Lago Trips After Promising He Would Never Go On Vacation

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

Exactly. It is another false narrative. President Trump does more “work” on a golf course than obama did inside the White House.

The Leftists are just trying to control the Narrative (Mind-control the ignorant masses) by repetition. You never heard them disparaging all those expensive sodomite golf outings which obama had, where no work was conducted. His puppet-masters ran the White House anyhow.

Who is picking up the tab in Tahiti for #44’s security detail?

Who is paying for 44s meals and lodging in Tahiti?

Is 44 working off the pallet of unmarked cash?

“I believe he is working his a$$ off...”

That’s all that needed be said. The guy works hard. He’s working seven days a week. If he’s working on weekends too and takes some time to golf at his home, it hardly qualifies as a vacation.

CNN, the leader in Fake News.

Look who he golf with, then judge if he is vacationing like Obama or dealing, aka, working.

Thai channels may have impaired your vision.

The bugs in the WH and other nontrustworthy traitors is real.

Why post this crap? If you cannot see that it’s crap, then I wonder about your judgment.

The whole premise of this stupid video is that the President goes to Mar-a-Largo for a vacation.

No mention of the meetings with foreign and domestic leaders, or with his staff and security advisors.

President Trump works 24/7 wherever he is ... unlike his predecessor---who never worked an 8 hour day in his life.

I'm happy POTUS has a home to go to. I can't imagine anything worse than being a prisoner in the WH over the weekends.

This whole subject is tiresome.

Wow, am I catching hell here.

Why?

Maybe it's because categorizing a Trump weekend in his own home as a vacation puts it on the same level as the extravagant vacations and world tours of the Clintons and Obamas.

It's like saying a kumquat and the planet Jupiter are the same because they are both sort of round.

Could there possibly be two slimier bastards in all of America?

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi come to mind.

Are you actually reading what you wrote? Maybe you should join the Berkeley leftists to keep opposing views silenced.

Let me try this again. IMHO CNN has a very effective vid using Trumps own words:

“I’m just going to stay in the White House and work my ass off. Who’s going to leave?|

“I wouldn’t leave the White House very much ... These little trips they cost a fortune.|

“If I’m elected president I will be in the White House a lot. I’m not leaving. Who ever wants to leave?”

“I’m going to working for you I will not have time to play golf.”

“I’m not going to be playing much golf believe me.”

Those are Trump’s words in the CNN vid, and it looks to be they are basically in context.

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.”

So according to you I should be silenced for bringing this up.

Get a life!

Good picture to remind the Control-LEFT media about vacations for presidents.

Regarding this post. I cannot see why CNN is acceptable here and Alex Jones is not. LOL

Jones at least is pro America.

The problem is there are many Never Trumpers on FR and they will pick this up and run with it. You probably don’t want to but check out some of last night threads - Saturday Nite is Hate Ivanka and Get a Free Beer here. I am agnostic on Miss Trump but what some freepers write about her is worthy of the National Enquirer or Mother Jones. And they get away with it.

Trump works on his golf outing stays....unlike 0.

Work was a four letter word, to 0.

Trump does more work in one golf outing, than 0 did his entire time as Resident.

"....And that is where Trump messed up...."

Trump didn't "mess up". He changed his mind about staying in the bugged WH all the time.

You make it sound like fake news CNN does....that he's doing something wrong. He hasn't done anything wrong. Life is about changes. Things and circumstances changed. So what?

This is not substantive. It's petty. CNN hates Trump and will stoop as low down into their cesspool as possible to make him look bad.

You write “Trump needs to address this” and I’M a Berkeley troll?! You live in an alternate reality. Maybe Thailand does that to a fellah.

It would be EXTREMELY simple to note on a 90-day calendar what days DJT has been at MAL. Most will be weekends, and get that .gif circulated before the MenSeekingMen even start.
