Trump is going back to Mar-a-lago for the FIFTH time since taking office. He's rather go to a place that costs American taxpayers a whole bunch of money for him to visit, that he is profitting from, and where he can play golf, Shame on him. Are his penthouse tastes reasons not to go to Camp David, which is 20 minutes away? 

Trump's travel and security estimated to cost half a billion dollars for 1 term

The obvious cruelty throughout Trump's smash-the-state budget shocked and awed America this week, but right after the thief-in-chief proposed to destroy an array of relatively low-cost federal programs that feed poor rural school children and keep grandmothers from freezing to death, he did something really extraordinary.

He flew to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. On our goddamn dime.

Facing soaring costs, Palm Beach officials ask Trump to pay up

Local officials, who are starting to grapple with the idea that they might foot the bill, say if the county has to pay for it, it will mean either tax hikes or cuts to services in the coming years.

"It means the local taxpayers will have to bear the added burden of being part of the security for the president of the United States," Paulette Burdick, the Democratic mayor of Palm Beach County, told CNN Friday. "It will either be cuts or increase in taxes."...

Trump regularly hassled his predecessor, President Barack Obama, for traveling to Hawaii. "The habitual vacationer, @BarackObama, is now in Hawaii. This vacation is costing taxpayers $4 milion +++ while there is 20% unemployment," Trump tweeted in 2011 with an incorrect unemployment figure.

Trump later tweeted: "President @BarackObama's vacation is costing taxpayers millions of dollars——Unbelievable!"

But now, Trump, a former reality-TV star with a lavish lifestyle, is the one looking to get out of the White House every weekend.

Due to variations in each trip Trump takes, it is difficult to estimate the exact amount each Trump trip is costing the federal government. But a 2016 Government Accountability Office report about a four-day trip Obama took to Florida in 2013 found the total cost to the Secret Service and Coast Guard was $3.6 million.

That figure was also conservative: It did not include classified Defense Department costs or the salaries of anyone involved in the trip, according to the Government Accountability Office.

Trump's frequent Florida visits are putting the Lantana Airport out of business

President Donald Trump's travel expenses have already cost taxpayers millions, but his frequent Florida visits are hitting one Palm Beach County airport particularly hard. 

According to CBS Miami, Lantana Airport tenants are unlikely to receive any concessions from the government to make up for the business they've lost from airport closures during Trump's visits.

On Monday, March 6, U.S. Reps Lois Frankel and Ted Deutch revealed that Secret Service had met with tenants at the airport, telling them it is too dangerous to let aircraft take off from the airport while the president is in town.

No Trump Act: US congressman introduces bill to stop taxpayer funds from going to President’s businesses

The bill, introduced Thursday by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., would prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for events, overnight stays, food or other expenses at hotels owned or operated by a president or his relatives.Blumenauer said he's long been concerned about Trump's refusal to divest his ownership stake in the Trump Organization. The issues have become more evident with reports of taxpayers footing bills for Secret Service and embassy officials to travel with Trump's children on a business trip and as government officials spend time at Trump facilities.

West Virginia newspaper front page >>>>

 Trump won West Virginia with 69 percent of the vote, a margin of more than 42 percentage points over Hillary Clinton. It was one of his best state performances. And a president's budget is a wish list that hardly ever comes anywhere near becoming law. (Congress, as members of Congress like to remind the executive branch, decides how money in the federal budget gets spent.)

Still, headlines such as this shouldn't be ignored. Remember that Trump won — in large part — because he represented change at a time when that's what people really, really wanted. But “change” means very different things to different people. The central question for Trump as president is whether the change he delivers is the sort of change people want.

Idiot Trump says baloney. That includes his Obama spying on Trump Towers stuff that he saw on Fox News (uhm, #fakenews, amirite?) Yahoo News

WASHINGTON — The White House has contritely reached out to Britain after infuriating that close ally by recycling a Fox News commentator’s charge that the U.K. spied on President Trump in 2016 at Barack Obama’s request, officials in Washington and London said Friday.

Trump’s national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster, assured his counterpart by telephone that the White House had not meant to endorse the claim. White House press secretary Sean Spicer, who touched off the unusual diplomatic controversy on Thursday, did the same in a conversation with Britain’s ambassador to Washington.

“We have made clear these allegations are utterly ridiculous, and have received reassurances that they will not be repeated,” said a spokesperson for British Prime Minister Theresa May.

And what about his ridiculous Obama spying on him charge, based on something he watched on teevee?
