Leftists throw a fit over President Trump calling Mar A Lago "Southern White House"

[JGalt]

Tweeters Furious Over Trump Calling Mar-a-Lago The 'Southern White House'

LMAO! Just when you think they couldn't find something dumber to whine about.

If you were smart enough to realise that it costs the Americant taxpayer millions per trip down to the Southern White House you might complain too--

"A trip to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers approximately $3.6 million, according to a Government Accountability Office report," the website says. Between Secret Service and police surrounding the estate, and the U.S. Coast Guard in the surrounding waters, Mar-a-Lago is a fortress when the president is here. The White House won’t disclose the exact cost of Mr. Trump’s visits.

How much do Trump's trips to Mar-a-Lago cost?

I think he's been down to Mar-a-Lago about 20 times in his first year. Could be more. He refuses to go to Camp David--(which is already secure for Presidents and their families) that's not poooosh enough for him.

Trump has already outspent Obama's 8 year travel budget.

Then there's nothing like that Aspen, Colorado skiing trips the Trump kids went on with a 100 security agents with them.

According to The Aspen Times, the Trump family arrived in Aspen with a cohort of Secret Service agents for their protection. A recent report by The Aspen Times found the Secret Service signed a contract for more than $12,000 for ski equipment rentals and clothing for the duration of the Trump family vacation."

Now just imagine the cost with lodging, food & ski lift tickets for a 100 security agents--LOL

Then of course we're paying for the Trump Jr.'s to fly all over the world to expand the Trump empire. Like that new golf course they just opened up in Dubai.
Trump sons open Dubai golf club as namesake now US president
In a month, the Trump family has cost taxpayers almost as much as the Obamas did in a year

Hell, no wonder they're all working for FREE. Trump spends more in one single weekend than the yearly Presidential salary of $550K-- You Fiscal.....conservatives you--

Nothing comparatively to the amount of money the Obama's blew.

Mar-a-Lago (/ˌmɑːrəˈlɑːɡoʊ/) is a resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida, built from 1924 to 1927 by cereal-company heiress and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post. The 126-room, 62,500-square-foot (5,800 m²)[4][better source needed] house contains the Mar-a-Lago Club, a members-only club with guest rooms, a spa, and other hotel-style amenities. It is located on the Palm Beach barrier island, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Florida’s Intracoastal Waterway to the west.

At the time of her death in 1973, Post bequeathed the property to the National Park Service, hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House. However, because the costs of maintaining the property exceeded the funds provided by Post, and it was difficult to secure the facility (as it is located in the flight path of Palm Beach Airport), the property was returned to the Post Foundation by an Act of Congress in 1981.[5]

In 1985, Mar-a-Lago was purchased by Donald Trump.[6] His wife at the time, Ivana Trump, was charged with running the property.[7] Trump retained Mar-a-Lago through both of his divorces. His family maintains private quarters in a separate, closed-off area of the house and grounds.[8] Trump has frequently visited there since he was elected president,[9] referring to it as the Winter White House and his "Southern White House". It is the second largest mansion in the state of Florida and the 20th largest mansion in the United States.

What is your point?

Trump using his presidency to promote his PERSONAL PROPERTY, FOR PERSONAL FINANCIAL GAIN is highly unethical. Nothing about some other private person promoting this property changes that.


Had President Trump liquidated his ownership in the property, or at very least put it into a blind trust there would not be these ethical problems. But of course Trump doesn't give a shit about ethics, which is why his head of Ethics Office resigned.

It's a residence for Trump so he didn't have to put it in a blind trust. Businesses are different.

Why does he let private parties pay a lot of money to hang out at his "residence"? It's a country club and a business, that's why.
