Late Breaking News!
Source: Secret Service has responded to second fence jumper at White House. Alarms have sounded. Dogs charge from cars. (Moments ago) Follow up: Secret Service dogs apprehend single fence jumper who is now now being questioned.
He’s obviously super alert, super ready and super willing. Just waiting for the “launch word”.
“He wont get reelected if he keeps trying to cut everyones budget but spending on himself like that..its a let them eat cake optic”
Cut everyones budget??? Whose budgets are you talking about? The snakes in the DC agencies? You’re’ worried about these people? Which voters that elected Trump will have their budgets cut?
And what in the hell do you mean by “spending on himself”??
You act like he is doing the same thing that Obama did in Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard...do you have any idea the expense that Obama dropped on the American people...
You want to talk about “let them eat cake” optic...how about the cost of following and SS surrounding Obama in South Pacific for a month while his wife is who know where in the world.
And Trump, whatever it costs to go to Florida, is working 7/20...throw in no salary for him and his son-in-law and he’s a bargain!
That's the hard reality. Blackwater or the military. You hate to admit it, but President Trump is a different President than your typical go along to get along guy. He wants to Bring America Back, MAGA and he has the islamists/socialists/communists/anarchists/RINOs and the deep state bureaucrats who do not want to see that happen.
I truly thought after the miracle of the second debate, I felt and still feel God had a hand in getting Trump elected. He is a precious gift to America. He needs to be protected at all costs. It will take eight years to make a huge dent in what needs to be fixed.
I do hope he considers a major revamp in his protection protocol and maximizes the degree of protection needed. If it means blackwater, the military or wide open ROE, so be it. We cannot lose our President Trump!
Pray for America and Pray for President Trump.
I really hope you will not be one of the people who bail out on President Trump when the going gets rough, but I have to say you’re not making me feel good about your loyalty if you are making an issue out of Mar-a-Largo...you’re buying right into the MSM spin!!
Oh, please. Stop pearl clutching. Optics schmoptics.
I don’t trust the Secret Service.
It doesn’t matter what YOU think.
It is the optics
And it is bad optics.
He is cutting budgets left and right but spending a hell of a lot of money every weekend on going to his vacation home.
That is the optics.
And it will come back to bite him in the election.
Take your blinders off and look at it objectively.
A tremendous amount of money is already being spent on Trump Tower.
I don’t care what you question.
The fact is that he will spend a tremendous more than Obama did...and it is going to bite him.
Dont believe it?
Just watch.
Yes I don’t recall none of those so-called lame brains in the media never cared how much Obama spent on trips or the almost $10 trillion dollars he over spent increasing the national debt. Obama never had a budget passed so he got to do what he wanted. On a scale of 1,000 being the highest of giving a crap, it is a minus 100.
Are you pining for the days of “Day in the life” threads and a schmuck who gave the libs everything they wanted and built huge majorities for them? He never cut a thing, just smiled...
Politics is all about optics.
The optics he SHOULD be doing is showing that he is being fiscally responsible himself and not jetting off every weekend.
If he is going to be spending the taxpayer money on himself and his family like this..he can’t go after anyone else like Obama having taken so many vacations, played so much golf, etc.
Imagine Reagan doing the same thing. He wouldn’t.
Is use of deadly force authorized at the White House?
I noticed that at Area 51, the multiple warning signs all say use of deadly force is authorized there, to deter intruders.
the president should have the maximum protection possible, in my opinion. And if needed, use all technology, including infrared scanners, heat scanners, night vision goggles.
And of course the “low tech” techniques, such as guard dogs.
You miss the point.
He needs to cut. And severely.
GOPE is going to not let it happen. They are already causing him problems.
Remember when Trump said he would work all the time at the WH and wouldn’t take vacations.
What happened to that?
Going to Mar a Lago is a vacation even if he is working..because he could be doing the same thing at the WH without costing money.
You can’t bash Obama for spending like crazy for traveling and then give Trump a pass.
Who knew Helen Thomas looked so good.
Roof top snipers must have been on their coffee break.;-(
Yeah I’d say deadly force is authorized on White House grounds and protection of the president justified under national security requirements or law.
Leni
Who were the idiots that designed and approved the fence?
Happened then too. Worse though. One entered the white House. Also had a man shoot up the White House, and the inept SS did not even know till an usher, IIRC, found the evidence inside of the damage.
