1. Whoopee! We really didn't need that money

to take care of any hungry, elderly or homeless people. I mean, the republicans have promised that they will trickle down on all the people who are in need.

And gosh darn it, it sure feels good to be able just pop the freakin cork every weekend, and blow a lot of our tax money on a self-proclaimed billionaire republican Tax-&-Draft Dodging Casino Sharpie Comrade like Don the Con who really knows how to grab for the gusto. He's the ultimate republican "family values" role model.

He's not a politician - he needs time to learn - that's their cry.
Imagine if someone had managed to worm their way toa top corporate position by fraud, deception and criminality they sure would have a different view.

14. Not so sure about that

IMO, fraud, deception, and criminality wouldn't bother them a bit. Spending 20 million of the shareholders funds, think Bill Riley, would start the feeding frenzy.

Pulitzer Prize story - Trump rips off America's veterans
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/david-fahrenthold-wins-pulitzer-prize-2017-winner-finalists/

Not surprising. Republicans regularly wave the flag meaninglessly, then dump on America's veterans.

8. Palm Beach County considers special tax for Trump's Mar-a-Lago visits

WEST PALM BEACH — Commissioners in Palm Beach County are so tired of spending money on President Donald Trump's frequent visits to his Mar-a-Lago resort that some are suggesting a special tax be levied against the property if the federal government doesn't reimburse its costs.

12. And how much of that taxpayer money went right into his pockets?

Does his entire entourage stay and eat at MAL? Does he bill them at regular rates?

I'd love to know how much extra he earns every time he brings his road show to a Trump property.

And I can't believe this isn't illegal ~
