Serious question. How does this compare to previous presidents? Im sure its a lot more but Im curious.
No previous presidents have owned hotel properties that they charged secret service to stay in.
So, just like he did during his first term? The guy is a grifter. All this time spend at his own hotels, etc, is to get the tax payer to fill his pockets. Cos its not just him, its all the staff as well. He'll be raking it in, and it will be all tax payer money.
"The Golden Age." aka just enriching himself and his pedo cultists.
It was the same bullshit the first time around and Americans smiled when they reelected him. Country full of idiots.
It took him longer to crash the economy last time with his tariff game. Covid kind of handcuffed him. Now the full weight of his stupidity will be felt by everyone.
COVID was the very end of his last term.
Yet his handling of it in those few months crashed the economy and killed hundreds of thousands of people.
A Million. He killed over a million Americans with his improper handling of Covid.
came to say just this
🤪
We did this the last time he was president. No one gave a shit. Which is a shame because he’s doing this on our dime.
he’s doing this on our dime.
Thats why he's doing it. If I understand correctly we are getting charged for each time he stays at his properties because the "businesses" charge the government for whatever security/personnel that have to stay there, among other things.
I don't know if he's doing it this time as well - I'd be surprised if he's not - but last term he kept putting the presidential guests up to stay at his properties at a marked up room cost too
That was the grift first time round. At this point, I doubt he bothers with the pretense and just steals what he wants. Nobody holds him to account and it's sad.
I'd imagine he now goes there as he like golf. I'd prefer him golfing than messing up the world. However, with his sycophants he can do both unfortunately.
I certainly give a shit. I'm not king, though, so I can't just spank him for it.
I don't know many people over 80 that don't need a shit ton of daily assistance.
They spend most of their time at home (or, all too often; forgetting where they even are)
“I’m going to be working for you,” he told a campaign rally crowd in August 2016. “I’m not going to have time to play golf.”
“I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again,” he said in February 2016, referring to the famous course he owns in Scotland. “I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he added, referring to the famous course he owns in Miami. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything – I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave?”
Trump needs to spend all his time underground, in a box, dead…
I never thought I’d say this, but in this one specific scenario I’m actually perfectly happy with him being alive too
Stroke, stroke, stroke
He's waiting for his new ballroom.
i doubt a $200M (before kickbacks, overruns, and whatever) construction project at the wh would even be completed before 2029.
Trump is a highly skilled project manager he’ll have it done by next year tops.
It will be ready in two weeks.
It's ready right now. He contracted one of his friends, they're never gonna build it and they're going to take the money.
100% complete.
It must be ready before his coronation.
So who is running the country?
The Oligarchs.
Fucking Stephen Miller and the assholes tearing apart the government and our voice
I, for one, would much rather Trump spend his time golfing than spending it diddling kids
I understand the unpleasantness of the word rape, but really think it's better not to water down the gravity of his crimes with euphemisms like "diddle."
As if he's not raping children there. Epstein once even "stole" one of his favorite raping children.
The More time he's golfing, the less time he's actively fucking us over.
Joke's on you, he's fucking us over while golfing by siphoning government funds into his properties.
I mean yeah 100%, but when he's gone all the money he wasted on golf will be limited... His legislation and appointments will fuck us for decades to come.
I wonder how to make an exploding golf ball
Lololol I'm not sure but I bet itchy and scratchy know
Grandpa likes staying at home. At his age, who can blame him?
And raping children
... again
Well, clearly they need to build a golf course on the White House grounds. Then he'd never need to leave.
Or, maybe they could build something more vertical, out of wood, with a neck hole and a basket at the front
Imagine being finished after just one stroke, what an amazing score!
I wonder how to make an exploding golf ball
How much taxpayer money are trump hotel golf bills. Fk sake
Bills paid out to him, no less.
