Will we get a retraction from CNN ?

trump ran on a 'no golfing' platform. In the few months he's been POTUS, he's broken all records for golf outings. Which wouldn't really be a thing, save for the fact that he lines his pockets with taxpayer money every time he hangs out at one of his numerous properties.

lol

u didnt seem to cry about obummers golf habit tho did u?

hypocrite much?

lemme know when u get an indictment on the golf cart thing crybaby

:rofl2:
 

Why? It's true. This is from the original USA Today article.

"Alles said the service is grappling with an unprecedented number of White House protectees. Under Trump, 42 people have protection, a number that includes 18 members of his family. That's up from 31 during the Obama administration.

Overwork and constant travel have also been driving a recent exodus from the Secret Service ranks, yet without congressional intervention to provide additional funding, Alles will not even be able to pay agents for the work they have already done.

The compensation crunch is so serious that the director has begun discussions with key lawmakers to raise the combined salary and overtime cap for agents, from $160,000 per year to $187,000 for at least the duration of Trump's first term.
But even if such a proposal was approved, about 130 veteran agents would not be fully compensated for hundreds of hours already amassed, according to the agency.

and forgoes 400,000.

trump doubled the membership fee on Mar-a-Lago right after his election, from $100K to $200K. All he needed was two new members to make back that $400K. No doubt there were plenty of rich cons who joined in the expectation of kissing his ring or touching the hem of his garment.

He's using the presidency to promote his brand. Who knows how many of his other golf clubs raised fees after the election? It's shameful.

Isn't that all Robin Hood like? Taking from the rich (members who willingly pay the fee) and giving it to the poor (not taking the money from the less fortunate tax payers)? We, the tax payers must pay, the members gave on their own accord.

Well that doesn't add up for me. Rich people can afford to pay the fee, poor people cannot, and trump is giving nothing to the poor. We discussed his "foundation" on this forum in depth last fall. trump is using the office of president to pimp his brand and rake in the bucks. And if we ever get to see his tax returns and they show otherwise, I'll eat my words.

He isn't taking tax payer money. I don't care about his tax returns, that is something for the IRS to address. I don't see how he has to pimp his brand. Plenty of suckuppers who pay willingly.

Of course he is. Why do you think the SS is now using trucks parked on fifth ave, instead of renting space in trump tower?
 
going beyond Trump. Logically speaking if the SS has to provide protection for each and every president and their family in perpetiuity (for good reasons) then their costs are logically going to exponentially increase with each president.

Agree. But trump's number one goal is to line his pockets by any means necessary. He collects rent from the Feds for each and every one of the properties he frequents.
