    Default Joe Biden thinks Ice Cream is more important than the Border Crisis

    President Joe Biden said Tuesday that he hasn’t visited the U.S.-Mexico border because "there are more important things going on," despite traveling to Delaware 59 times and stopping for ice cream eight times since taking office.

    Biden defended his decision to skip visiting the border while in Arizona, telling Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy, "There are more important things going on."

    Biden made the defense while boarding Marine One to travel to Phoenix ahead of semiconductor manufacturer TSMC's announcement to increase its chip investment in the state to $40 billion.

    When Donald Trump was president, Biden described "horrifying scenes" at the U.S. southern border of "kids being kept in cages" and federal agents "ripping children from their mothers' arms." But nearly two years into his presidency, Biden has never visited the border despite thousands of illegal immigrants flooding into the country every day.

    To Biden, "more important things" than visiting the border apparently include 59 trips to his home state and eight separate stops for his favorite dessert.

    A Fox News Digital analysis found last month that Biden’s regular trips to Delaware have cost taxpayers upward of $11 million since the start of his presidency.

    The trips require taxpayer dollars to fund costs associated with the use of either Air Force One or Marine One, as well as security costs for the Secret Service.

    The $11 million receipt for Biden’s Delaware trips is probably a significant underestimate since it does not tally many other miscellaneous costs. These include spending for additional helicopters that travel along with him, travel to or from military airports before or after an Air Force One flight, and accommodations for staff who accompany him.

    Biden also loves his ice cream and so does the media. The president has stopped for ice cream at least eight times since taking office, and it almost always makes national news.

    Biden was criticized in October for an appearance at a Baskin-Robbins in Portland, Oregon, when he claimed the economy is "strong as hell" while munching on a chocolate chip ice cream cone.

    "I’m not concerned about the strength of the dollar. I’m concerned about the rest of the world. Our economy is strong as hell," the president said while inflation was at a whopping 8.2%

    No he does not think ice cream is more important. The border does not change. Going there is useless.

    President Trump's travels to his private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Fla., give the chief executive a chance to unwind, hang out with friends and play golf. But that presidential rest and recreation comes with a cost.

    A new report from the Government Accountability Office says four such trips early on in Trump's presidency cost taxpayers $13.6 million, or some $3.4 million each. That is far higher than the estimates of Trump's travel costs early in his presidency, which were pegged at about $1 million per trip.

    The congressional watchdog's report is the first official accounting of Trump's travel costs. The report also found that the Secret Service spent nearly $400,000 protecting Trump's sons Donald Jr. and Eric on trips they took in January and February 2017. The costs of Trump's visits to Florida were calculated based on trips in February and March of that year.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Trumps priorities seemed to be to force his security details to stay at Trump properties and pay exorbitant rentals. If there wasn't a Trump property nearby then make them drive for hours to stay in one.
