It super sucks that the G.O.P. billionaire makes US taxpayers foot the bill for his luxury golf outings.

it's already cost us about $55 million so far this year,

G.O.P. sure likes to squander our money on luxuries for the rich,
while stomping out the food programs for the hungry.

about once a week.......we are near the air base so they rattle the windows in our house due to them starting out really low to avoid commercial aircraft...... (

They were just tourists, sightseeing.

and you know how he is about breaking records..........He loves jet setting around like he is the king, on the Taxpayers dime.

No Air Force 1, make every federal employee fly coach. I secretary and the guy with the football.

Democrat or Republican, I want the POTUS having to spend 7 hours next to a colicky baby. I want anyone getting a federal salary to have to take the bus or the cheapest rental car. I want to *NEVER* hear about traffic being blocked off, or flights impacted by someone who should feel LUCKY to be my servant.

I want no elected official to have any more security, or privelege than I have. We already pay them too damned much and they get free rent, too.

F-Trump, F anyone who wants or thinks they need a lifestyle beyond that of a retail clerk and wants taxpayers to pay for it.

Presidents, senators, congresspeople, they should be treated no better than real workers like teachers and janitors.

I wouldn't be able to speak for the appointees and GS-1000s, but when I was a civil servant grunt, I had to fly "coach" - GSA contracted with airlines for such flights and those had to be used or you paid for it yourself (without government reimbursement).

Continuity of government counts!

There are very few in government who rate planes, they have been misused but rarely, until the Trump Presidencies. Members of Congress , both House and Senate fly commercial uncles on a CODEL. The Speaker, the President of the Senate, the great majority of cabinet secretaries, all commercial, the average government employee, Coach. Maybe look at the facts before posting

how many Senators and Supreme Court justices fly on Corporate jets..........

There is no question that we have THE BEST POLITCIANS THAT MONEY CAN BUY......

I heard Kristi Noem has requested a top Gulfstream, even though she is provided a personal jet already....
She needs a plane big enough to hold her entire wardrobe of Dress Up Costumes for her Fox photo shoots....

Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Homeland, FBI Director, Secretary of State. They can all ask for new planes and it’s up to the Congress.

As for privately owned or corporate jets, they file financial disclosures. They just have to be looked up.

The post goes way over the line.

If the President is going to a G7 meeting, of course expenses will have to be covered.

That means that Trump was playing golf.

He's here almost every weekend during the summer. Makes a mess out of the roads. The aviation restrictions really hurt too. Not that he gives a damn.

he seems to be using Sterling more where in the past, he was at Bedminster continually and completely avoided Sterling.

I just found this - 12 trips to Sterling and 7 to Bedminister - List of presidential trips made by Donald Trump (2025)

(the most was to FL but I think that was also because the list starts in January with the inauguration and obviously includes the normal "winter" trips to FL, which is also considered his "official" residence)

He switched to Sterling right after he blew up all hell in Iran.
Very co-incidental, don't you think?

that after the seizures at Mar-a-lago, there was a lot of chatter about whether classified docs were being stored at Bedminister and I'm thinking it was possible it WAS checked out (quietly) and that put some paranoia in them about going back there too frequently for "important" stuff.

The other thing is that he no longer has that lease with the Old Post Office in D.C. (supposedly "sold" it in 2022 - although I don't know how you "sell" a GSA lease... but whatever), and that is where he "conducted business" that first term.
