Trump went golfing 23 times in his first 135 days while Obama went golfing 4 times in his first 135 days. Obama saved us money by not going golfing as much as Trump GGD Presidential Elections Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't cost tax payers really anything except gas Also Melania isn't in Manhattan anymore, Barron is in school here now at a really good school Anytime the POTUS leaves the White House, it costs the tax payers way more than gas! (Not saying that they should never leave, but there is a cost) Melania and Barron are still in Manhattan. The school year should be finishing up this week for most private schools. I wonder if they will stay in New York, split their time, or fully move to D.C. for the summer months? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barron is finishing up the school year starting at St. Andrews this falls. They'll be in D.C. mostly likely for the rest of Trump's term (however long that lasts). I know some friends who went there, and it's known in the area for having a really good program of special needs children. I really think Melania wanted to create the least amount of "shock"/change for Barron, and I don't blame her if the rumors are true. I can also attest to the fact that Secret Service is at Trump National Club all day every day. The additional cost of having Trump go there is minimal.

"(However long that lasts)" lol, Let's hope it is not for the full term! St. Andrews is also Episcopalian, so it would make the Republicans happy. St. Andrews has an interesting mix of minorities, versus the school Barron went to in NYC. Maybe Barron will teach his Dad a thing or two. Maybe Trump will be happier and stay off Twitter with Melania being in the WH? Maybe.... Why is the SS at the Trump National Club all day, every day?

Lots of high profile people are there all the time. They sent out a letter in March that said SS would secure the premise and have a presence pretty much at all times bc kids around here love to trespass there and it was just generally not secure. I was told today that Trump arrived this weekend in a motorcade of only three Suburban SUVs so I doubt it cost a lot this particular weekend (plus yesterday lol). I much rather Trump play golf here than go to some more extravagant far off location tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo golfing for an hour and then going back to the WH is the least egregious thing Trump does on a daily basis. The American people only have a small attention span on average so lets save our outrage for something that matters. If this was a normal president, yes, we should call him out if he golfs too much. However, this is not a normal president and in the interest of rebuilding trust in the media we need to foster good reporting. I know first hand that Trump was only at his course yesterday to play one round of golf and then he left. That's not break news. We need to get over it and focus on more important stuff bc he's never going to not golf lol. I hope what I'm saying makes sense, I'm really not trying to defend the way he spends his time. Yeah! Also maybe he loves gulfing so much that most of his free tjme is gulfing To compare it to Obama who only gulfed 4 times means nothing cuz maybe he did other stuff in his spare time so u cant really go off of this Of course, hes a baffoon regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
