    Obama can't help the fact that his family is from Hawaii. But Trump doesn't have to golf more than twice as much as Obama did.

    Are you saying that Trump has incurred less cost for his golf excursions than Obama had at this point in his presidency? Are you sure you wanna bet that?

    What's unethical about playing golf?

    Regarding transparency, how did these numbers get out?

    The left is constantly hammering Trump with negative reporting on him. Can anyone name a time when the MSM lauded him or had a panel discussion about something they believe Trump did that was good? The MSM takes good news and finds something wrong with it in order to hammer Trump. When they can't spin and twist something into negative news they lie and make it up. And when they don't have anything to lie about they take ordinary events and turn them negative, i.e. 2 scoops, steak well done, chicken with a fork.

    But for all you folks out there who actually intend to read the article, make sure you look at the first comment where the poster takes us down memory lane with the story about how Obama sent a plane for his dog.

    If anyone is interested in the traveling of presidential dogs and the $345 a night cost of the 70 hotel rooms a certain president booked while he...oh my gosh...played golf, then check this out. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wo...og-Bo-is-airlifted-to-Obama-holiday-home.html

    When Democrats report costs afforded due to such events as golf, I am very suspicious. They loved to defend Obama pissing off millions on his frequent trips.

    There is only one Christmas per year! Are you trying to say that Trump only holidays once per year?

    I do not know. I do not trust costs presented by Democrats. They did not care one bit that Obama pissed off millions on his various trips.

    I did not claim that Obama only pissed off funds on one trip per year.

    I don't watch MSM but yesterday CNN was applauding him for his trip to Afghanistan. The thing is you're so obsessed with the negative media that you tune out the good things they say about him. More accurately, you're so convinced that Trump is always good that you don't consider that much of the negative criticism of him is warranted.

    Did Obama criticize Bush for taking too many trips the same way Trump criticized Obama for taking too many trips? Now do you see why the hypocrisy angle supplies a better reason to closely scrutinize Trump's spending?

    Did he force the secret service entourage to stay at his own golf resort, and pay him for it, too?

    Once you're in the air there is little difference in cost between flying 1000 miles or 5000 miles

    He never flies himself. AirForce One is equipped with equipment that no other airplane has ..

    Obama wasn't playing golf every week nor spending 3 million dollars a game... and pocketing much of that money in his resort's bank accounts.

    I see no way that Trump has the Feds pay for his green fees. I suspect he houses the Secret service at no cost since they can stay on his property. I do not see Trump risking forcing the Feds to pay the costs of room and board for the agents.

    Obama did not have that bucket to toss piss out of a window so when he traveled, he had no way to personally pay for the secret service to quarter at his property, Trump is a man of means.

    Obama took frequent vacations at our expense and not merely Xmas.

    True, Obama took vacations even globally. And on our dime.

    At the rate of Trump's golf trips to Mar-a-Lago, his own golf resort, that he profits from? Another swing and a miss, buddy.

    Few people have a grasp at the enormous cost to fly the presidents 747 along with the rest of a fleet that must follow them.

    Robert, look at the room rates at Mira Lago.. Trump charges the Secret Serice, pilots and staff market value.. He's not comping them anything.. not so much as a scrambled egg.

    I'd LOVE for Trump to release his returns. He won't.

    I wish you were trusted. I simply do not trust the numbers we get from any Democrat. Sure Trump trips are enormous. But some here act like Obama stayed at home all the time and blew no taxpayer money. They are nuts.
