Trump family’s elaborate lifestyle is a ‘logistical nightmare’ — at taxpayer expense

[donquixote99]

I am loyal to the people of the United States. I am loyal to the Constitution of the United states. I am not loyal to the enemies of both.

It's a play on loyal opposition.

BTW, just because Americans have views diametrically opposed to yours doesn't mean they're enemies of the state. You're becoming a liberal Tail-Gunner Joe.

Meanwhile, New York police will keep watch outside Trump Tower in Manhattan, the chosen home of first lady Melania Trump and son Barron. And the tiny township of Bedminster, N.J., is preparing for the daunting prospect that the local Trump golf course will serve as a sort of northern White House for as many as 10 weekends a year.
Barely a month into the Trump presidency, the unusually elaborate lifestyle of America’s new first family is straining the Secret Service and security officials, stirring financial and logistical concerns in several local communities, and costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents — a price tag that, based on past assessments of presidential travel and security costs, could balloon into the hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term."

Remember when the 'grifter in chief' Trump bitched and moaned about Obama playing golf and taking vacations?

The expense does not bother Trump because he pays no taxes. And of course he would expect the king and his "court" to be accommodated and protected everywhere they wish to live or go. Again like any Monarch, he pays no taxes, he just uses them, the bill is not his to pay.

I can also imagine the conservative uproar if Obama had had the uppityness to insist taxpayers cover his travel to a resort EVERY FUCKING WEEKEND. I can imagine the uproar if Mrs Obama had decided to live in a high rise hotel instead of the white house. What an uppity bitch they would scream!

The hypocrisy of the right is simply breathtaking.

Tell you what Bob. I'll kick in two cents and cover your share.

We good now?

Except 45% of Americans don't pay taxes. Including one of the wealthiest men in the country, Rump......

He's the ultimate welfare queen.

OK, I'll up my weekly contribution to 3 cents and cover Trump's share too.

Hell, make it 4 cents. I'll get yours too.

Oh, what the fuck, let's make it any even nickel.

Who else wants me to cover their share?

Anybody?

Better hurry, because this is the last one I'm gonna do.

Nickel a week is my limit.

I'm not a rich man.

The right to voice ones opinion is worth a lot more than one cent and dissenting opinions have a purpose in a democracy.

By all means, bitch away about anything you feel like bitching about.

I certainly do.
