Let’s add up all these unnecessary expenses and bill his grift account after he leaves office.

What a shame the security detail was so good.

I was thinking the same thing. 😏

Why was I not surprised the Supreme Court never ruled on the emollient clause after Trump left office the first time!!! And they're not going to do it this time, either...

I must say for somebody who reportedly doesn't like to travel, he sure is doing a lot of of it lately. I've also heard that they bring his bed or at least his mattress and all bedding wherever he goes as he doesn't like to sleep any other way. I'll bet the ancient emperors and kings of old would be tearing their hair out that they didn't or weren't able to do the same thing🤮

Head of State visits are usually invited, for diplomatic purposes. Then the host country supplies the security to the visit.

Trump is normally not a welcomed guest if not a specific reason requires an invitation, and the reason is the disruption of normal life due to security measures. In spite of this he was officially invited to the funeral of the Norwegian Head of State, King Harald V, but declined and sent a junior State Department official instead. Selfinviting himself to a golf tournament at his own golf course in Ireland seems more important to this President.

He was not invited to Oslo to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, but has he been he would have come - the Vanity President.

And to think he complained about Obama playing too much golf.

Even George W. Bush didn’t go golfing during the war that he started.

We perforce pay his extraordinarily enormous uncontrolled bills while he pockets his property $multi-millions generated through our paid advertising via his bully presidential microphone. He abandons other countries with giant expenses for his lavish lifestyle which they can ill afford to pay. American citizens sit back and watch courts perennially leaning in his favor or postponing decisions ad infinitum. Blood boils around the world.

Corruption taken to new levels is his specialty. Congress must get a lot of payoffs not to impeach the narcissistic slob.

“And Trump got to promote his resort and watch some golf.”

On our dime. Probably millions of times.

I'd like to know what this cost each taxpayer. I'll bet they would benefit from knowing too.

Didn’t think it possible to loathe Agolf Shitler any more than now, but then…here we are.

What if all the press stayed home?

Withholding needs to take on a new, reverse meaning in the world of federal income tax.

Does he pay taxes in Ireland?

At least the Irish public showed what they thought of him.
