Trump has spent more visiting Mar-a-Lago than Mueller has on Russia probe
The Hill ^ | 6/2/18 | John Bowden

Posted on 06/03/2018 4:37:10 AM PDT by DoodleDawg

The president has repeatedly attacked the Mueller probe for racking up millions of dollars in expenditures, doing so most recently this week after the Justice Department reported that the special counsel's office had spent roughly $16.7 million on expenses in just over a year of investigation.

"A.P. has just reported that the Russian Hoax Investigation has now cost our government over $17 million, and going up fast. No Collusion, except by the Democrats!" Trump tweeted Friday.

But that number is dwarfed by the amount required to pay for the president's numerous trips to the "Winter White House," which Washington Post and Politico analyses have estimated to cost taxpayers on average between $1 million and $3 million dollars per trip.

As of Dec. 26, Trump had spent 39 days at Mar-a-Lago in 2017. Trump took his 17th trip to the property in April, according to Town and Country magazine.

YES , HOWEVER ,
#1 / TRUMP SPENDS HIS OWN EARNED INCOME, versus BOBBY MUELLER spending tax payers funds ...
#2 / Trumps visits do not specifically harm or destroy others
#3 / Mueller “probe” is an obfuscation of truth designed to defer attention from criminal activity of obama & Clinton
#4 / What Trump spends on visits to Mar-A-Lago is not a CRIME

This is an accounting trick.

Specifically, cost accounting. "What do you want the number to be?"

How much has Trump spent living at the white house? It costs money no matter where a president is.

Trump seems to be working day and night, per news reports. Visiting his Florida property does NOT stop him from working. Playing golf with dignitaries/others does NOT mean he is not working. Business is often conducted on the golf course, ask a lot of business people and they will tell you the same.

How much of it was paid for by PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP himself, and how much of it was taxpayer funded?

It assumes that if the president hadn’t done (fill in the blank) that no costs would have been incurred. However, the people being paid are on the job no matter where the president is.

Exactly.

In many ways that is good. If they spent NO days in session, America would be better off.

This is a ludicrous comparison. And hey, one aircraft carrier costs thousands of times as much as the Mueller witch hunt. So stop building aircraft carriers.

At least DJT went to vacation at his own property unlike the previous parasite who occupied the White House.

Plain and simple, President Trump is worth it...Mueller isn’t. There’s more bang for the buck with President Trump.

“”Now the Hill can show us how brave they are and compare it to all the cost the Obama MUTTS spent on family vacation time.””

I had a runny tally of all the trips for the obozos in 8 years...Somewhere in my Word program, it all disappeared. Bummer! I worked hard on that and tallied the numbers at the end of each month. I think when Windows 10 was installed, the document was hacked by the obozos….

“”However, the people being paid are on the job no matter where the president is.””

Including the president. That’s something the press never CARED to acknowledge with all the hullabaloo when GWB went to the ranch or RR went to his ranch. Couldn’t say that when obozo went to his home in Chicago as he never wanted to go to his home in Chicago. It wasn’t nearly as exciting as hobnobbing with the upper crust of society! Same with the Clintons - except at the time, they didn’t have a home except the WH....

Ha! They don’t even fact check the stories they publish. Imagine them hiring accountants.

If as the media claims he spends so much time on the golf course, how come we never see those pictures? All we ever saw was obozo ON THE GOLF COURSE (same with Clinton) and I’ve seen few of President Trump playing golf.
