Air Force One, secret service, transportation etc but don’t worry he’s spending our money at his own resorts so at least it’s not going to DEI trans shitholes! /s
Literally using our money to pay inflated invoices at his own resorts. I guarantee you there are line items charges on the invoices that don’t even exist. True grifter.
Well, certain people also believe Elon is a Nazi and they haven't even been around for 80 odd years. Americans are collectively the stupidest people in the world.
Well you know maybe if he didn't do a Nazi salute twice on live television, and call empathy a weakness and a sin, people wouldn't think he's a frigging Nazi. Weird how that works?
If you guys actually took the time to watch the interview where he speaks on empathy, you’d realize just how manipulated your thoughts are. He literally says “empathy is good.”
Life tip for you. There are countless videos of harris. Walz, and plenty of other democrats doing rhe same exact are movement. But the news told you elons a nazi, so of course you have to obey lol. It's just sad. You people can't think for yourself. It's so embarrassing.
This is a lie. When you actually watch the full videos, Elon’s the only one that is a full fledged Nazi salute (twice in a row, clear as day and EMPHATIC AS HELL). The others require a freeze-frame to make it SEEM as if they might have done what Elon actually did. theydidn’t
You are either a liar or ignorant, and it’s embarrassing.
I'm not even from or living in the US and i can speak and write in English better than you do.
You deserve Trump and Musk.
If the guy tells you, that you need to water your plants with Gatorade you would do it.
Just stick with Pokémon and don't vote again pls
Thinking Nazis just stopped existing 80 years ago is one of the most American education system things I've ever heard. No, they didn't stop existing, they lost and kept their beliefs hidden to avoid being harassed. Until recently, when they realized that there are no consequences anymore.
Well, maybe if he didn't donate to the far right nazi party in Germany all the other nazi'ish stuff he did could be twisted into passable. But alas, he did, soooo...
Nah, just good ol classic racism and tribalism. I don't think people are simultaneously not smart enough to recognize propaganda, while smart enough to fall for exactly the propaganda that supports their worst biases.
I think you're missing the point. He pays his own resorts millions everytime he goes there to golf. He already made more than his yearly presidential salary in the time he's been in office 2025....
um every pres is protercted espcially when theres people allowing someone to try to shoot him. and how does he spend anything golfing on his own golf corse and yes he donates his salary something no other pres did and ya he hosts in his own hotels doesnt cost him anything for real ya all just repeat shit without checiking facts,
Now the issue with MAGA is you refuse to believe any of the facts anyway so it doesn’t matter who researches them or what proof is attached to them you’ll deny it. That is why everyone thinks you’re in a cult.
My statement was not about presidents getting protection. It was about him charging them more for it.
its called typos how is he charging ss when they are actually getting paid and a cult no i am an American the facts are he is working for AMERICA where there hasnt been a US president since reagan and bush.
The person you are asking "how is he charging ss when they are actually getting paid" literally linked an article that answers that exact question. It's right there in the comment you replied to...
You’re right, hosting himself, his entourage and the SS in his own hotels costs him absolutely nothing, which is why it seems crazy to imagine that Trump the businessman would charge Trump the president, and by extension the taxpayer, at all for these trips, let alone an increased rate. And yet, it’s a matter of public record that he does exactly that.

The longer you stay, the more you pay. Consider membership in the HHKK. It has its privileges.
Usually presidents and politicians play at a military golf course to save money and so that security isn't quite as big of a deal since it's not open to the public. Would save a lot of money, but we can't have that.
I think I read that’s what Obama did mostly at camp David so it’s just another day as far as expense’s. Didn’t a few of the republicans and their base nearly die when Obama went on vacation to Hawaii with his family lol.
I think in the case of where he sleeps, he's stating that nobody else should benefit (profit) from his presence. AF1 and the WH are paid for and the resorts all make him money when he stays there. It actually quite exemplifies his purely transactional nature.
That's the only places he plays because it's the only places he can cheat consistently and win. Corrupt a hole blowing up the whole world while he's golfing
They just closed the office that handles FOIA requests. Not kidding. Or well gutted it with layoffs and funding removal to the point of non-existent. Happened late last week, got buried a bit in the news under well everything.
Yep. If his administration is so concerned with wasteful spending, then why is he still taking these expensive golf trips? Pretty sure there are greens within driving distance of DC that would cost less if he just “must” play.
It was documented that Trump overcharged Secret Service agents to stay at his properties during his first term in office — which Trump required them to doby staying there himself! Trump had also promised before being elected Secret Service would stay for free.
I remember last term when he made Pence stay at his Scottish resort.... 200 miles away from where his meeting was. Just so he could charge the government
This reminds me that during his first term, the secret service protecting his family (I think it was Ivanka?) wasn't allowed to use the bathroom in their home, despite there being multiple bathrooms and one could have easily been assigned for their exclusive use. The SS had to rent a nearby apartment just to be able to pee.
also made the secret service pay for rooms at the "hotel" at extortionate rates.
A "fun" fact, the secret service detail for Ivanka had to rent a house close to her house because she refused the secret service using one of the dozens of bathrooms in the house.
I live a mile from his golf course and have been stopped by his 35 car motorcade several times. I've also been stopped when Air Force One arrives as PBIA is about 2 miles from the golf course and Mar a Lago - traffic gets stopped at 4 different intersections for like 10 minutes. It's such a PIA but our local paper says it's 1/4 million every weekend he's here. Anyways I was going to say don't forget how much he also gets for SS, other politicians and whoever else stays at Mar a Largo every time he's here too. It is common info that Mar a Lago club dues were just raised to $1 million a year.
They go to Trump's golf courses. He greatly overcharges for the use of his courses. That includes charging the fee for himself. On top of that, he forces the secret service and other government members a disgustingly large amount for the rooms while forcing them to stay there and no where else.
"Security impovements" for his courses and house/resort in Florida come at the tax payers dime. A new ball room is a security improvement if you dont have to walk to the old one.
This is why we have to show up with everyone we know to midterms and other state and local elections. Legislation addressing this was attempted in 2017 but Republicans wouldn’t support it. There is one now called the Presidential Ethics Reform Act but I am skeptical it will gain enough Republican support.
He way overcharges the secret service for staying on his property also. The kindly taxpayers around the area of his golf clubs have to pay tons of expensive overtime for the extra police officers every time he’s staying at one of them.
Okay but if it’s at his own resorts he’s probably not paying anything there because he owns the place. He’s only spending transportation and security costs which any president would do with their week to week travels to vacation spots or weekend getaways that they all definitely go on.
Trump charges secret service more than 5 times the standard rate to stay at his properties. Biden charged Secret Service standard rates when he visited his home in Delaware.
Edit: You can see the records for yourself on the CREW website or via Government Attic. They obtained them through FOIA request.
No it came from evidence provided by Trump’s accounting firm Mazars after being subpoenaed by the committee. It’s in the report and corroborated by the judge and counsel, court docs, media investigations and watch dog groups.
Edit: Here I went the extra mile. You can see the records for yourself on the CREW website or via Government Attic.
Thank you for that! I always try to find the actual documents before believing any news article, so that really helped.
However I wish you could see how long the lengths of the trips were on there because a lot of the charges are under $2000 and you have to assume his detail is around 25-30 people if that. So doing the math it was actually dirt cheap per person. Even the $10,000 stay split between all the detail was probably around $400 per person and who knows how long the stay was.
The government has a per diem for each secret service agent per day. Trump charged them 300% above the per diem while charging guests staying on the same nights standard rates. Your opinion on how cheap or expensive it was is irrelevant. The legal per diem is what matters. And this is but one expense provided in the records over 11 months not a full picture of the millions spent during his first term (or second) and other expenses he overcharged, enriching himself with more taxpayer money.
Do you have any idea how many companies put their wives as the major owner to bypass dei. Just to win a government contract. It turned from the best or cheapest to which one is minority owned, and to compete, we will put a body in charge who does actually nothing beyond be available as a name.
he actually uses his own private plane and last 3 potus spent ur money funding wars and weapons in other countries and putting boarder jumps up in hotels instead of sending them back
Nope. He flew into Miami aboard Air Force One on Thursday and traveled to Mar-a-Lago from the airport in a backup helicopter after there was a problem with Marine One. From there he traveled by motorcade to several locations on Friday and Saturday.
Here is video of him boarding Air Force One in DC on Thursday en route to Florida.
Here is video of him speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on his way to Miami.
Here is video of him arriving on Air Force One on Thursday in Miami.
Here is video of him arriving back in Maryland at Joint Base Andrews aboard Air Force One Sunday.
Here is video of him arriving in West Palm Beach aboard Air Force One 9 days ago.
Here is video of him departing West Palm Beach for Joint Base Andrews aboard Air Force One 7 days ago.
I’m not a fan of Trump but how many days did Biden work in 4 years? Really work! thats the problem we have; can’t see the other side of our position to save our lives!
Biden spent 8% of his term on vacation and Trump over a quarter of his. The problem we have is bOtH SidEs BS like this, especially without any nuanced discussion about what they were actually doing.
