President Trump on Friday defended his frequent weekend trips to his luxury properties, saying he does not care about golfing as much as people might think he does.

"I have a lot of property. So if I go to my clubs like in New Jersey, they'll say, 'Oh he is going to play golf.' I am not going to play golf. I couldn't care less about golf," Trump said in an interview on Fox News.

"But I have a place there that costs almost nothing because its hundreds of acres and security and they don't have to close up streets," he added.

[LOL Lib]

2. "But I have a place there that costs almost nothing..." Yes, it's called the White House

It is constantly secured whether or not you are there idiot, and already paid for. No commute costs, and no golfing cart rental fees charged to Secret Service agents either, let alone hotel rooms that profit yourself.

3. "New Jersey."

Mar-a-Lago is shutting down for the season - and South Florida gets hot.

Time for the "Summer White House" to make its appearance.



See inside Trump's New Jersey golf club that's about to become the 'summer White House'

6. Considering what his presidency is going to cost as a whole,

he's right. It's a mere pittance.

7. Yeah, yeah...and soon you're talking about real money.

Clueless man making money from his office being dismissive of the cost to others because a few million is "almost nothing" to his thinking.

[Ilsa]

8. Then he shouldn't mind letting SS stay for free and

Reimbursing the govt for the rest of his travel expenses.
