[Johny Joe Hold]

You can hardly check out the news these days without some whiner complaining about the 31% of his time he spends in Key Largo and other vacation spots. I ask, why should he go into work if all he gets from it is criticism? He should go in only to pick up his paycheck unless the criticism stops.

It is OK for the press and citizens to ask why certain things happen in the Trump administration. But, once an explanation is provided the conversation if over. President Trump does not need anyone's unfavorable comments.

Donald Trump spends 31 percent of time on vacation, plays golf 8 times in 6 weeks—on taxpayer dime

Donald Trump is that guy—the guy who treats the company credit card like it’s his personal mint and who buys the most expensive item on the menu because he knows someone else is picking up the bill. And who is paying for Trump’s extravagance? You are.

Over the last five weekends, the president has visited his luxury resort four times – each trip costs American taxpayers about $3 million – and as of last night, Trump had spent 31% of his presidency at Mar-a-Lago. He’s now played golf eight times since taking office six weeks ago.

[Mary Etheldreda]

Even Jesus needed some time off from the throngs of adoring fans (Luke 5:16). I've no doubt if golf was invented back then, our Lord and Savior would have taken some "me" time to play golf, too. After all, He was communing with Himself (John 10:30).

[Brother Gonzalez]

If he is 30% of his time off, it means that is 70% of the time working. Some will see the glass half empty, but not me!

Another factor to have in mind: it is not how much you work, but how productive you are. Half an hour of Trumping is more than 5 days of Obummer, for sure.


And you can THINK while playing golf. It is not like he is listening to Hio Hop music while going on crack and spending money on rims like the president before him.


Thinking about how to stop those messicans from coming to the US, while playing golf, is for sure better than doing the same sitting in your office.

[Johny Joe Hold]

When people complain about Trump's vacations to me, I also tell them to read the Constitution. I ask them to show me where it says the President is to work long hours. He is not required to work at all.

Real Americans know the Constitution.

[Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson]

Well, aren't we to spend at least some time to rest? The Lord commands us to not work on Sundays, and he has other feast days and rules telling us that we aren't to work all the time. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecclesiastics 3:1 After all, that means there is a time for our blessed President to play golf and as he's spending the majority of his time doing his best for our nation, God bless him on his time to relax and unwind from all the duties of being our President. For all that liberals complain, imagine if Hillary was president...even if she worked as much as President Trump, she'd be off at least another 25% with her unclean period.

Greetings, brother Johny Joe Hold. I am Mr. Bomom, and I am here today to expose the hypocrisy of this entire thread. I myself love America and will support the president no matter what, but, if we were still under President Obama's rule we would have blown him out of the water for the amount of vacation's President Donald is taking. Donald should be held to the exact same standards as any other president. Why does he get special privileges? He is costing you, me and every American money so he can have a good game of golf, how is that fair? It isn't. I don't want my money in the hands of the government any longer.

Somehow, I suspect that isn't much of a problem for you.

How much exactly have you paid for Donald's deserved time off? A nickel?
And how do you count time off? If he is playing golf with some foreign government representative, for example? Let's say a Russian, for argument's sake.
How do you calculate that?


To Donald what is for Donald, and for God what is for God. Tithe hard and praise the Lord for not having a black president anymore.

[Titus Templeton]

At least Golf is not a gay sport like soccer.

Thank you for your thoughts, Mr. Bosom. You are missing the point here. President Trump wrote a book called The Art of the Deal. He explained how you work with the other person and move things forward until that person cannot back out. Then you lower the price you will pay.

In the case of the Presidency, he has been elected. There are no rules that say he has to work. He knows there is nothing any one can do about it so he just plays golf.

If the public wants him to work, they must persuade him to work. If the press and public are nice to him, he might work more. If not he will just play golf. I'm doing my part by saying nice things about him and sending him letters complimenting him on his accomplishments. I'd urge you and all men to do the same. Ladies could help with letters saying how handsome he looks when sitting at his desk.

[Thomas Taylor]

What's the problem? Taking the numbers into consideration this means that The Don spends 16.56 hours per day working. That's longer than most people and 16.56 times longer than the welfare scum.

[Sword Of Christ]

Donald J Trump can get more done in one minute than must people do in a lifetime. He is an example of working smarter not harder, plus he has people working for him.

He will hire Mexicans to build the wall because not even a Negro can take the desert heat. When the wall is finished he'll do what he has done with all the foreign workers he's ever hired. He won't pay them and that is how Mexico will pay for the wall. SMART!

That...you know...that isn't a bad idea. I mean, I have a different strategy with my domestic laborers in that I hold their Visas until they work off their debts (including importation fees, room, board, uniforms, etc), but for contract construction labor Trump's method sounds more lucrative. No wonder the man is a real estate genius!

Actually, even 1 minute of Trumps work is more than Hussein Obama's whole career. All that Hussein managed to do is to get things worse! Even British media agree that.

[Johny Joe Hold]

Everyday brings new criticism--but this new one is over the top. I just can't help but believe Hillary Clinton is the source.

So called "health officials" have charged the Mar-a-largo restaurant owned by our beloved President with 13 counts of "health violations". This harassment must stop immediately:

[WilliamJenningsBryan]

It's no secret that the Democrats have been waging a war of fake news ever since Trump won the election.

"Criticize" all you want, but Trump is on call 24/7 to handle events around the world, like that fat dwarf gook in North Korea that Obama slept through for 8 years.

Trump also has to spend time at Mar-a-Lago until all the wire taps and spy devices are swept and removed from the White House - all left behind by Obama's minions.

This is worrying news. As Brother WJB so wisely says, Brother President Trump is obliged to spend a lot of his time there. How easy would it be for the Clinton woman's minions to infiltrate the kitchens and poison him?


Should Hillary be impeached? I'm no expert on US law - do you have to actually be president to be impeached, or would claiming to have "won" the so-called popular vote be sufficient?

[Johny Joe Hold]

With all the criticism President Trump has to endure, it is only logical he both take time off to play golf but also to further enrich himself. I might think differently if the press and other citizens would stop the endless snipping. But, since they do not, I'm ever so pleased the President's tax cut will yield him tens of millions of dollars.

Even Obama's dog gets a jet

Donald Trump could save billions of dollars over the course of an 8 years presidency and keep things running by sending life size cut outs of himself to people instead of going there personally if he were president, along with getting more work done. That's leadership.

I want to mention that years ago, I predicted that once elected Donald Trump would save tons of money in security costs. Well, he HAS! For starters, what's most important is efficiency of the vacations. What's better, a military that blows up 1,000 Muslims and costs $100,000, or a military that kills a million Muslims and only costs $2,000,000? Sure, the second might seem more expensive, but it's a $2 per Muslim death ratio instead of a $10 per Muslim death ratio. The second is a far better bang for our buck. Same concept here. Trump, despite spending vastly more on vacation costs, is no doubt getting more enjoyment out of it than Obama and thus using the vacations more efficiently.

@BarackObama played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic.

https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...09412480192513

I don't mind that @BarackObama plays a lot of golf. I just wish he used it productively to make deals with Congress!
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/...09535502745602


No doubt that Trump is somehow using these golf visits to make deals for America.

Just look at him using his trip to talk with foriegn prime minister Shinzo Abe





There's the guy with the nuclear football! Looks like it's in good hands to me! Vacation money well spent! Good for the guests, good for Trump, and good for America! Talk about a win-win.





https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/u...istration.html . I don't know what he was doing during all those other trips, but I think it probably promoted American interests someway. Don't worry about him possibly sharing confidential documents in public during his vacations, I don't think that's something he'd do, but even if he did, he mentioned on Twitter that as the President he has the legal right to share confidential information as he sees fit. That makes it a-okay in my book. I think who carries the nuclear football is probably supposed to be public information anyway. Either way, this is way different than Hillary who was not President at the time of making a private email server.

More importantly, Trump is making a fortune off these trips. He recently doubled the price to Mar-a-Lago, from $100,000 to $200,000. What a savvy business move!

Entering the ornate room, Trump took a photo with the bride and her bridesmaids, who posed in red gowns next to the commander in chief, mimicking his signature thumbs-up.
Then he grabbed a microphone.
At Mar-a-Lago, Trump tackles crisis diplomacy at close range
"I saw them out on the lawn today," Trump said of the bride and groom Saturday, who were standing nearby. "I said to the Prime Minister of Japan, I said, 'C'mon Shinzo, let's go over and say hello.' "
"They've been members of this club for a long time," Trump said of the newlyweds. "They've paid me a fortune."

He has to give people a value for their money! If that means occasionally giving them some minor confidential matters so be it. I wouldn't want people to think Trump just raised prices to his resort and that they're not getting anything in return. That would make the President and by extension, the USA look bad. We can't have that. I'm sure he got around to that North Korea missile situation eventually. I mean, really, how often to North Korea's missiles even work anyway?

[handmaiden]

Trump has such a hard job, cleaning up the mess left over from eight years of mismanaged, incompetent, unpatriotic, oft-times illegal policies and actions spewing from the vacuous mind of that boob, Obama.

How dare anyone criticize our president, anyway? Have they no respect for the position?
