    In all caps I am impressed, what you fail to realize the secret service has to protect him regardless, this is the same thing the left constantly complained about when Bush would go to his ranch all the time, these two owned their own places, obama didnt go to his own home in Hawaii, he had no home there.

    I shall decide soon if I want to play the role in Australian politics you play in this country and you pay no taxes here.

    Does your country have the emoluments clause?

    For a start we know that when Pence visited Ireland he was directed to the other side of the country in order to stay at Trump's hotel which charged the US tax payers for his and his entourage stay at that hotel, all proceeds going into Trump's pocket

    I recommend you begin paying taxes to this country given your devotion to our politics.

    This is nothing more than fake news taking numbers and running with them.

    Dont you find it interesting how the left continues to move the goalposts depending on Trumps actions or behavior? They shape a narrative that appears to conform to the facts, but it's only used to slander and defame him, his family and his supporters. And further polarize America.

    This is a sure sign the media isnt practicing honest journalism

    its doing the will of the "state" : political activism

    And besides that, obama gave billions to iran, a sworn enemy of Israel.

    Obama basically, on his own, rebuilt their failing economy with an infusion of 150 billion dollars.

    Exactly obama could of gone to a motel 8 in Chicago and when he woke up he could of been smarter, why he had to go to Hawaii all the time is anyone's guess.

    He is not the only millionaire to be elected

    Ever heard of a thing called a “blind trust”?

    Worse than that. We kept 400 million of Iran's funds yet Obama handed to them 1.7 billion in cash.

    Obama was quite generous with our money.

    You know you don’t have a point when you have to attack someone’s national origin instead of have meaningful debate — on an international political forum.

    My hotel uses expedia and hotels.com as well as other agencies so what is your point? We still set the tariff in order to make a profit

    This statement has nothing to do with this conversation, Robert.

    I'm high so I give it a pass. For some reason I like your style of writing. Maybe it's because I'm high.

    Ha, I was wondering when someone was going to post that, so would the secret service let George Washington or Thomas Jefferson (extremely rich men) ride their own horse back home?

    1) no secret service existed

    2) your argument is flawed

    After America effectively stole the money do you think it would be trusted for them to “wire it”?

    Being high, you missed the point. You will recover.
