    Obama went on 200 golf trips between his election and October 2014, mostly to exotic locales such as Hawaii, on our dime.

    Do the math and get back to me.

    Yeah, at 2.5 cent a pound those are tough bucks. If you go like hell you can do 3/4 pound/minute. Damn near make enough to dress yourself for another year in a whole season. Beats the hell out of nothing though.

    Due to inflation, every President in my lifetime has probably incurred higher travel costs than the previous President.

    Obama holds the current record for travel costs by a huge margin, and President Trump may eventually beat it, but likely not.

    CNN was exposed last year for making shit up with this FAKE NEWS article.

    Here's the real scoop, after Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit to get public records on travel costs for both Presidents last September.

    At that time President Trump's travel costs were roughly 4 million spread over 8 months, making him a miser compared to the extravagant Obama.

    https://www.judicialwatch.org/press...ial-watch-obama-travel-cost-now-105662975-27/

    Judicial Watch: Obama Travel Cost Now $105,662,975.27
    SEPTEMBER 14, 2017
    Federal Appeals Court Hearing Set for September 15 on Secret Service Failure to Comply with Additional Presidential Travel Information Requests

    Judicial Watch also released travel expenses related to President Trump’s travel totaling $4,082,427.71

    (Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch today announced it obtained travel
    records from the Secret Service in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, bringing the known total of travel expenses for former President Barack Obama and his family to $105,662,975.27. The latest records show President Trump’s travel expenses total slightly over $4 million.

    Very hard working people. When I was younger this dude had his whole family out doing landscaping and we would hire him every summer. Paid him extra because they did such a good job every time and they work for cheap because they didn’t have citizenship. I also love within their culture how much they value family.

    I don’t think this is a fair analysis of the conservatives on this forum. It’s just a big generalization. A stereotypical one at that. I would be really surprised even if your furthest of right people on this forum were racist. These comments you made are a part of why trump was elected in the first place

    Didn't answer my question. Do you not believe that adding more CO2 to our atmosphere would cause our atmosphere to trap more heat?

    Most of them are Catholic too. Which is why they have such big families (no one begrudged the Kennedy's for having so many children. They do the jobs here that no one else will do plain and simple.

    Trump got elected because he colluded with the Russians.

    I think trump got elected over a mixture of things. I don’t believe in the whole Russian thing. For one, Wikileaks leaked dnc emails. That was a big factor because it kinda exposed Hillary and that party with how they screwed over sanders and what not. I also think middle America was just kind of fed up. Tired of this super left ideology being forced down their throats. The PC culture. Either way you had two bad candidates to pick from. I think it came down to the lesser of two evils for people and if we are going by that logic than trump wins. I don’t like the guy. I think he’s extremely immature and an egomaniac, obviously shouldn’t represent this country. However I can see why people voted for him at the time. At the same time it’s a shame it came down to those two candidates. Should of never happened. Hopefully the people of this country get it together in the next few years and hopefully a better candidate comes around to challenge trump the year 2020.
