The grifting groper golfing away our taxes

From http://www.theroot.com/obama-spent-97-000-000-on-vacations-in-8-years-heres-1794176811


He’s been in office less than three months and he can’t stop vacationing; in fact, according to The Independent, President TrumPutin spent some $24 million vacationing in his first 10 weeks, which is about as much as President Barack Obama spent in two years.

That’s because President Asshat is on a two-week-on, one-week-off work schedule. Since taking office, Trump has spent seven weekends at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida vacation home, and it’s believed that each trip, which includes an extensive security detail, costs taxpayers around $3 million.


To put that in perspective, Obama averaged around $12.1 million a year during his presidency, or about $97 million during his two terms. If President TrumPutin keeps vacationing at this rate, he will surpass Obama’s eight-year total in a mere 10 months. But kids don’t need the Public Broadcasting Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency is being cut off at the knees. You would think, with this much vacationing, he’d at least have a decent tan.

And let’s not forget that before TrumPutin became president, he was super critical of Obama’s golfing.
