Now he's combining this weekend getaway with his first campaign stop for 2020 in Orlando, omg!!! So if we're already in the midst of the 2020 campaign, we probably shouldn't be voting on Supreme Court justices. KWIM? Lame duck season already?  |

You know, in a regular world, I would not care where the President chooses to spend his weekends. But since THIS guy was elected by the same crowd who roared in fury every time President Obama took a vacation or played golf, the hypocrisy of them being perfectly fine with this is infuriating. Trump is being exactly who we'd knew he be. What exactly do conservatives stand for at this point? Fiscal responsibility and national security apparently aren't anywhere on the list anymore. Exactly. I don't want to hear one more f^cking thing from a conservative about the last 16 years. |

Isn't Camp David pretty rustic? I'm betting that won't suit King Donald at all.  There isn't enough gold gilding in Camp David. It would be like expecting him to weekend in a cardboard box. |

Today I read that at this pace, 4 months of Trump travel = 8 YEARS of Obama travel.

I am guessing that all the venues at the club are now full on the weekends because people hope to catch sight of the President and maybe even get the chance to chat with him, or overhear him working on a Foreign crisis at the dinner table in public. |

Okay forgive me for being stupid here...
Isn't it a problem that he is making money at this resort while being there? Isn't that a YUGE conflict of interest?
Why is this ok?

My burning question is where is Melania? Seems she made one trip to Mar a lago. I think there's a report of her being at the white house - not sure if she's been there more. I'm starting to wonder if she and Trump reside together at all? Did they live together before his move to the White House?

No, I missed that. 🙄 But im sure what we both meant to say is it's refreshing to have a moron President like this. |

She met him at the airport there the first one, and met him at Andrews and flew down with him the second one. She was at the White House midweek and spent time with Mrs Netanyahu. Lots of back and forth travel the taxpayers are presumably footing. |

the expert NPR talked to said the F-35 rep knew the Boeing person was in the room... they were on speakerphone. And nothing confidential got discussed. But way to pull a 'gotcha intimidation' type move on the person on the phone, by saying "hey, I'm here with a rep from Boeing- do you mind if he sits in on our call?" because what could the person say- NO?
BTW, the costs of the F35 project DID go down, but they were in the final stages of cost and contract negotiations, so they would have gone down ANYWAY- Nothing Trump did in that whole deal actually made any difference-- he just took the credit, like usual.

She can't live in the White House while he is at school but can jetset to the resort two weekends? |

I think maybe I read that Melania's mother lives in TT? Perhaps she stays with Barron? |

From the above linked article:
Trump’s frequent travel belies his repeated criticism of Obama as a “habitual vacationer” enjoying taxpayer-funded golf getaways. It also comes after his own promises: He told the Hill newspaper in 2015, “I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done.”
What a lying douche.
