    Trump Spending $10 Million Of Taxpayer
    Money To Promote His Scotland Golf Course
    July 25

    Doesn't he stay and golf for free at those places?

    No. He doesn't.

    'Yes, the U.S. government, primarily through the Secret Service, incurs
    costs when Donald Trump stays at his own golf courses and other
    properties. These costs can include:

    Lodging: While the Trump Organization has sometimes stated they provide
    rooms "at cost" or for free, reports indicate the Secret Service has
    been charged for rooms, sometimes at rates higher than
    government-approved per diem limits.

    Golf Cart Rentals: The Secret Service rents golf carts for agents to use
    while protecting the president on golf courses. These costs can be
    substantial, with contracts for hundreds of thousands of dollars.'


    Obama's Golf vacations were not free, faggot.
    But Trump said he was going to be "too busy" to play golf, Phil.

    Explain why all this time off (basically every weekend since his
    inauguration) is suddenly alright with you.

    A president cannot get out of the house without costing money. It is a
    question of how well costs are minimised.

    Nonetheless (sorry for the word which will stump Phil).

    The MAGAts here all whined over and over about the number of times that
    Obama played golf.

    As of late May, the reporting I've found indicates that he's played golf
    27 times.

    There are only 18 weekends from his inauguration until the end of May
    (19, if you count the May 31 - June 1 weekend).

    In his first term, Trump played nearly as much golf as Obama did over
    TWO TERMS.

    No more and CERTAINLY less than Obama had to spend on HIS golf
    vacations. And there were PLENTY.

    Really?

    Trump has control over what his properties charge, and he CHOSE to
    charge 40 times the normal government rate.


    These costs can include:

    Lodging: While the Trump Organization has sometimes stated they
    provide rooms "at cost" or for free

    Thanks for supporting my "claim".

    Sometimes stated doesn't make it true.


    reports indicate the Secret Service has been charged for rooms,
    sometimes at rates higher than government-approved per diem
    limits.

    At TRUMP'S clubs?

    No cite, must be a lie.

    See my other post.

    Because I KNEW where you'd go.

    LOL... and Obama NEVER had to pay for carts for he OR the Secret
    Service.

    Riiiiight.

    I guarantee you, carts are either free or a LOT cheaper than what
    Obama had to pay.

    See my other post.

    More off-topic minutiae.

    (more off-topic bullshit, snipped)

    PLONK!
    Run away, Phil!
