This has nothing to do with the dicussion of who is worse for the economy, who spends more, who wastes more, who gets paid millions of tax payer dollars to visit his own property.

Oh, now we are back to who is worse. I say Democrats.

who wastes more, who gets paid millions of tax payer dollars to visit his own property.

Show me where he is depositing this money into his bank account.

He added $200B to the debt in his first 100 days, wants tho throw himself a $92M birthday parade, has spend $30 million golfing since Jan 20th.
"Serious about reducing spending"? That sure sounds like he's flushing money down the drain, to me.

The Republicans have added $200 BILLION more to the debt per term than the Democrats.
It would seem the right has the problem with their spending mentality, no?

Here we go again, any excuse to keep spending as high as possible. The current political situation must just tickle the left pink; they get fight for their favorite thing - out of control spending and fight against their most hated enemy - Trump.

That is what it is ALL about.

It's insane they'd rather flush the budget & fight to keep illegal alien gangsters here than allow Trump a 'victory.' Astonishing.

Honestly... It's down right un-American.

Agreed! It's one thing to disagree about the effectiveness of tariffs or dudes should be allowed to play in women's sports. There is no credible argument to be made for wasting taxpayer dollars and allowing illegals, especially gang affiliated illegals stay in the US.

Funny thing about illegals is the left is fighting to ensure the illegals get free healthcare, but this is the same party that passed legislation to tax citizens for not having healthcare insurance.

$30 Million in 3 months for golf.
$92 million for a birthday parade.

$6-$10 BILLION to bail out churches.

You need to try harder.

Of course you would list things that are hypocritical, in which democrat politicians are also guilty of. None of that golfing compares to all the criminal aliens that crossed our border. The border crisis was the #1 issue.

How is pointing out that the Republicans are worse for the economy, and add more to the debt than Democrats, an "excuse to keep spending as high as possible"?

Is this just another right-wing "rules are for thee, but not for me" situation?
A situation where the right vilifies the left for doing something that the right is even more guilty of?

Man, you really ARE obsessed with the transgender population.
They make up less than one HALF OF ONE PERCENT of our population. 1.6 million people.

And you equate that obsession to a tariff issue that already has cost our economy trillions of dollars?
This is a genuine question: Did you have a child who got beat in a sport by a ***** athlete, or missed a spot on the school team because a ***** athlete got it?
or, did you have a child who is now *****, and you are upset about it?
What is driving this ***** obsession?

Funny thing about illegals is the left is fighting to ensure the illegals get free healthcare, but this is the same party that passed legislation to tax citizens for not having healthcare insurance.

The tax was to drive them to get HC so that the private hospitals wouldn't have to absorb the cost of paying to care for the uninsured.

If WalMart had to provide free goods to anyone who didn't have a credit line or cash in their pocket, do you think there would be legislation to give the people the money they need? There is: SNAP and TANF.

Show me where he is depositing this money into his bank account.

Any monies paid to the his golf course go into his bank account as he is the direct owner of Trump Organization, which owns Trump International.

Now, try to convince us that Trump doesn't own the Trump Organization, or Trump International, or own or receive licensing fees any subsidiaries with the Trump name on them.

The border crisis that started under Trump and that Biden fought with much more success than Trump.
Why was Trump so lax on stopping it when he talked such a good game?
They were the lowest under Trump from 1990-2024, by a long shot.

You didn't prove any deposits went into his accounts did you, no. Now you want me to congratulate you on showing us who owns property like you won something by not proving any deposits into Trumps personal accounts.

Payments made to Trump International or Trump organization are not done in cash. They go to bank accounts held by Trump Organization or Trump International.

Or are you suggesting they are funneling the money to non-Trump entities by doing 3rd party check transfers, or running credit card charges through a non-Trump business?
Why would they be doing that? To hide income?
Who are they funneling the money to?

 

[RobGMN Premium Member]

Well, that was quite the non-wasteful expense.
Is DOGE going to demand the money back?

Maybe your ears aren't working. You claimed Trump is paid with tax payer dollars to play golf. I want you to show me the deposits into Trumps personal accounts for such. You keep showing pictures that have been altered by someone highlighting and and hand writing on them. These could easily be fraudulent to make Trump look bad.
