In reply to the discussion: "I Need To Address Trumps Frequent Visits To Mar-a-Lago" [View all]ecstatic
(35,075 posts)13. Very disturbing comments from his die hard supporters:
It's his place..he owns it. No he doesn't pay for his stay but secret Sevier and plane cost us but I don't care as long as he keeps doing what he's doing
----
I was told that to Florida he takes his own plane.
----
Since he starts his work day around 6 am and ends after 11 pm, I say taking working weekends at Mar-a-Lago are well deserved. I'm certain he feels his family is much safer there than in D C. He has already accomplished more in less than 100 days than the previous president did in 8 years...all the while facing constant and unrelenting negative attacks from all sides...I AM VERY THANKFUL DONALD J. TRUMP IS OUR PRESIDENT!
----
A lot of unknowns and speculation
here. Do we know the government is paying for these trips? I read that all costs for lodging and food for security are being covered by President Trump. So, we have transportation costs. Secret service gets paid regardless of where they are. Mar Lago has private security but I am sure this is reinforced by secret service.
----
Rather him be anywhere but the backstabbing beltway... At least he is playing golf with leaders and not just celebrities...

It is cheap compared to the $248 Million per day JUST for SECURITY to secure Obama PER DAY, every time he went to his Golf games overseas. Security on Pennsulvania Ave, DC is not that different to Mara largo which he owns and is ALREADY SECURED AND HAS NO DEMOCRAT ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE THERE FROM
PREV. PUTUS TERRORIST SUPPORTER OBAMA TO LEAK CLASSIFIED INFO. Trump
uses it for a SECURE place to meet with Foreign Leaders but without the
illegal wire taps by Moslem terrorist spy friends of Obama whom by the
way hes decided NOT to retire from Trying to Destroy our Nation is still...
I can't.

No. Just unable to ignore the glaring hypocrisy and still keep a straight face.

He is also renting apartments to Secret Service. But no worry. He is donating salary.
