Trump at Mar-a-Lago again

Where is the outrage at the billions earned by the Carlyle group from Iraq involvement - whilst they had Major, Bush on retainer?

www.counterpunch.org...

So the men behind the Carlyle Group drift through Washington like familiar ghosts, profiteering off the carnage of Bush’s disastrous crusades, untroubled by any thought of congressional investigation or criminal prosecution, firm in the knowledge that the worse things get for the people of the world, the less secure and more gripped by fear the citizens their own country become, the more millions they will reap for themselves. Perpetual war means perpetual profits. Let’s leave the last word to Dan Broidy, author of The Iron Triangle, an illuminating history of the Carlyle Group: “It’s not an exaggeration to say that September 11 is going to make the Carlyle investors very, very rich men.”

No, it's not okay with me! $900K per day is not equitable for an 11 year old's $40K per year education.

Why can't he board? Why can't he change schools?

Do you know how many military kids have to change schools because their parent has been reassigned? His father is the Commander in Chief. He should go where his father is assigned.

I see you are a big fan of the patriarchal society.

Baron couldn't get a school voucher to change schools.

Oh, yes, we've had wealthy men as POTUS's before. sigh.... I sure miss the noblesse oblige. Nope, no "generosity and nobility toward those less privileged" with this pretender. And, yes, definitely no class. I could take the no class if he had an ounce of noblesse oblige. Zip, nada. Nothing but pitiable bluster and disingenuousness.

I thought democrats valued education?

Even Democrats aren't on board for $900K per day in tax payer money, to keep one 11 year old from having to change schools or board.

But Briody's account of how an upstart venture capi tal firm went from nothing to managing funds of nearly $14 billion in just 15 years, earning investors returns of around 36 per cent, is likely to reinforce the controversial image of the Carlyle Group and raise concerns about its influence in Washington and beyond.Sometimes called the Ex-Presidents Club, Carlyle has a glittering array of ex-politicians and big league bankers on its board. Former secretary of state James Baker is managing director while ex-secretary of defence Frank Carlucci is chairman. George Bush senior is an adviser. John Major heads up its European operations.

Looks like Trump has family values and he doesn't consider 'boarding him out' an option. Reminds me of something you would do with a dog.

Family values! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

If we are strictly going by monetary terms, America would have lost WW2. Tens of thousands of tanks were built. Tens of thousands of planes were built. Money is not the problem.

While I can understand how some would see family values as laughable, others do consider them important.
If Donnie and Melanie made the decision to have him finish out the school year where he is, I applaud them.

Better than strapping it to the roof of a car or eating it, tho.

? Trump's kids seem to be incredibly well-adjusted, humble, hard-working individuals. It just seems like you have blind hatred of Trump, which makes your valid criticisms of him much less effective.

"needs to stay there"...hmmm

At any rate, Donald Trump won the White House. He needs to stay there, at the White House. He didn't win the tax payer/treasury Lottery.

I dont remember reading anywhere thats its mandatory for Prez's to stay at the White House...Now if you can provide me with proof that Trump will push for some law that absolves him from filing tax returns in the future, you might have something to scream about

Carter Moore, American, former Congressional aide and Federal employee Written Aug 28, 2015 · Upvoted by Marc Bodnick, Harvard Gov major, Stanford PoliSci PhD student:
As far as I know, legally, yes; but the snubbing of tradition, exposure to security risks, and distance from a world-class command center make the likelihood of this remote. For reference, the law as written only "entitles" the President to use of the White House. It's not an obligation. He shall be entitled also to the use of the furniture and other effects belonging to the United States and kept in the Executive Residence at the White House.
Why any incoming President would want to pass on that entitlement is beyond me.

"needs to stay there"...hmmm

c'mon, you're a smart guy. You know what I mean. He needs to stay at the White House, as opposed to taking off every weekend, like he promised.

“I would rarely leave the White House because there’s so much work to be done,”

“I would not be a president who took vacations. I would not be a president that takes time off.....You don’t have time to take time off”

“I want to get it done. We’re lowering taxes, we’re taking care of health care. I mean, there’s just so much to be done. So I don’t think we’ll be very big on vacations, no.”

Can you believe that,with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf. Worse than Carter

a reply to: windword

There's no indication that Trump is taking vacations. Mar-a-Lago is his weekend office, not some vacation destination. An Obama vacation was a 16 day retreat to Martha's Vineyard, not a weekend office like Mar-a-Lago is to Trump. I'm not even bashing Obama for vacationing, just saying that Trump's trips to Florida aren't vacations. The only time I had a problem with Obama's vacations are when he had his presser about James Foley being beheaded by ISIS, and then literally 10 minutes later was laughing it up on the golf course.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Trump's children are no role models! They're complicit scam artists, just like their dad!

Ok, now you are making a fool of yourself. What exactly do you base these assertions on?

BS!

Presidents get 3 week vacations every year. Obama took his vacations, as will Trump. Obama didn't take weekends off.
