    It was NOT on a helicopter. Again, your literally making things up

    The dog flew with the WHITE HOUSE STAFF on their jet. He did not fly on AF1 because they could not land close and the dog and the staff was going to land close so the dog flew with them. It’s just a FACT

    Robert does have a tendency to post things that just pop into his head. He stubbornly sticks to these fabrications even when you post sources proving him to be wrong.

    This is an extremely important issue! I'm so glad that you took the time to make things up about it, and be completely incapable of comparing apples to apples! All around great line of posting!

    but most so not charge the tax payer to golf at their own property

    Trump even charged the Secret Service rental fee to use his on golf carts to follow him around and keep him safe

    it's almost like Trump is not as rich as he says he is, no multibillionaire would be as greedy as Trump is "after" they made it to the top, they would realize how it made them look and change their behavior when in the public eye like Trump is

    How many of them actually owned a golf course or resort?

    Did Trump actually rent the carts or was that just a function of the resort/Course? Would the SS have had to rent the carts at another Course?

    He can refuse to go to his own resorts. You know, to avoid constantly violating the emoluments clause.

    Unless they did we can't be sure they wouldn't have played on their own course as does Trump

    Is that the Schiff plan to charge Trump with the emoluments clause? That will amuse me too.

    The emoluments clause was not for golf courses or for purposes to keep any foreigner out of a stay with the president.

    It was to prevent an foreign government from bribing officials of our government.

    Those at the Trump properties must volunteer and pay costs as required. The key here is a bribe. A bribe is not a stay at a hotel.

    What would be wrong with that? You are asking about an equal exchange.

    George Washington a super rich man owned a massive farm. I would not be shocked for him to sell to the Feds fruits and vegetables.

    I doubt it, though the evidence (not what trumpers think is evidence) is, well, self-evident.

    You can't play golf in a peanut field.
