He knows that the idea of ethics or moral accountability don't apply to the Republican party. They just don't give a shit about stuff like that, so long as it's a Republican doing it. He's setting himself up to actually get those billions that he claims he has already, it's just going to come from a lifetime of taxpayer money funneled into his coffers from lifetime Secret Service protection incurring fees at his resorts. I mean, it's not an issue where one party is given a pass and the other isn't. The Republicans call out Democrats for shit like this, and the Democrats say fuck off and defend it. And then the Democrats call out the Republicans for it while the Republicans say fuck off and defend it. Both sides are hipocritics at the same time in both directions. Obviously I'm generalizing, but that's the gist of it. what Democrat was getting paid by tax payers to take vacations? that money isn't simply going to fund his vacation and security....his security is paying for a resort he owns and thus profits from...that's not even close to the same thing "BOTH SIDES" do... Wasn't Obama golfing too? Or is this going to be one of those situations where the Democrats say "well it's okay to do it only if it goes THIS far and only if he spends THIS much...Obama's within that threshhold, Trump is not" Because come on, dude. That isn't even close to the point at all. This particular case is a bit different considering 1. Trump constantly called out Obama for golfing and says that he wouldn't be doing that so often if he were president. 2. Now Trump becomes president, does the same thing he critisized, yet even more frequently. So in this particular case, Trump set the standard. All he had to do was do it less than Obama, yet it looks like he will do it more than Obama by the end of his 3rd year or so. Definitely by the end of this term if he keeps up the same rate. I personally don't give a damn about how often Presidents take vacations or have leisure time. But the hypocrisy specifically on Trumps behalf is too blatant to ignore. --- https://imgur.com/PHWbltB <cite>Twin3Turbo posted [p:901328692] in Trump has ...
