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

And that was exactly why I posted that point. Based on how Trump has been operating I fully expect all this to be comped.

The working week for congressional critters is usually TUES-WED-THUR.

Monday and Fridays are reserved for travel back to the home district (yeah...right).

And besides - In 1973, cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post donated her 128-room Palm Beach mansion to the U.S. government to be used as the "winter White House." And now that Donald Trump is president, that legacy has in some sense come true.

Although the U.S. Government did not want it, Trump made it happen on his own nickel.

If i had a home like that i would not want to stay at the WH, especially since it had an occupant such as the one before.

Pisses me off greatly that anyone has to demand Trump must live or work there. Or is trying to get social circles uoraged about it.

For as long as Trump is POTUS I don’t care how many times he golfs or takes a break, because i know for a FACT that he worked harder than anyone else has done before.

On a scale of 1-10 of issues that are important to this Country I rate this a minus 5. These morons just do not get it. Obama is gone, Hillary lost and America and Americans are moving forward. Come along or fall behind the choice is yours!

Post #49- Apparently, CNN wants to replace the Globe and National Inquirer.

When the Globe and National Inquirer publish an article it is in "print" and the original article is in hard-copy for posterity.

On the other hand, when CNN "publishes" a story, it can be later EDITED OR DELETED, depending upon the evolving reality and discovery of truth.

CNN is merely a Control-LEFT organ for pushing propaganda.

I'm with you.

It doesn't make a bit of difference to me if world leaders need to get a tee time to talk to Trump. He's doing enough for me to be satisfied that my vote wasn't wasted.

Trump did say last August that if he became president he wouldn't have time for golf

"...I'm going to be working for you, I'm not going to have time to go play golf," he said at an event in Virginia..."

Trump knows that he's going to catch a bunch of chit over this from the libs and I'm glad to see that, as usual, he just doesn't care.

I don't either.

He goes to his second home where he conducts business....even on the golf course. Didn’t he always say that the best business deals are reached on the golf course? Good grief. I don’t imagine President Trump is ever NOT thinking about what is best for the country during his waking hours - even when he’s not working.

I am waiting for the day when Mr. Trump can issue the order and 44's security detail is called home in the middle of the night.

Imagine 44 waking up to find his detail GONE!

Riveting, profound journalism by CNN. Obama’s vacay spending makes Trump look like a piker, but no story there.

You words:

“You should catch hell. Look around you here and see how many nuts believe in every stupid conspiracy theory against Trump, his family and his administration. It goes on here each and every day and then you set a fire on top of it - over what? He goes to Mar a Lago, his own home, and works from there!

I’m sick of it and I wish Jim would do something about this.”

Why should I catch hell for posting what IMHO is an effective vid again Trump by CNN that needs to be addressed?

And what should Jim do to me about posting this? Silence and ban me?

That is the Berkeley way.

As a combat officer I learned to face opposition, look at it, and devise a way to defeat it. Ignoring the enemy victories is not an option, the object is to marginalize them, which is what I am advocating.

Is golf the required game of Presidents? Is it because Secret Service protection is easier and better on a golf course than at, say, a tennis court? I suppose team sports are out at the age of Presidents and Ping Pong is too Chinese.

Your mistake is the presumption that his trips to Mar a Lqgo are vacations. It’s also his home. Regardless of what he said on “the trail” he’s done more in 100 days than obunghole did in eight years.
