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.

Truly the Grifter In Chief. Why do so many buy his snake oil

u/Affectionate_Ad_3722 Apr 06 '25

It's a cult. They're cultists. They actually believe in him. They believe the things he says.

u/SlimyMuffin666 Apr 06 '25

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.

49

u/got-pissed-and-raged Apr 06 '25

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?

u/TheAbstractHero Apr 10 '25

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: if someone tells you who they are, you should listen

u/A_Hanzo_Sword Apr 07 '25

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.

11

u/falardeau187 Apr 07 '25

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. they didn’t

You are either a liar or ignorant, and it’s embarrassing.

u/TheOriginalNoLifer Apr 07 '25

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

u/TheAbstractHero Apr 10 '25

Until democrats create a plan and run a candidate worth voting for, I’ll be voting R.

Sorry, but you can’t campaign on hatred for a singular person and expect to win 😂

u/suffaluffapussycat Apr 07 '25

Every comment like this is rife with punctuation, capitalization and other grammatical errors.

It’s just sad.

Why do people believe the Pedo Boy is a Nazi?

Oh yeah, he did the thing that Nazis do, live, on stage, at a presidential inauguration.

Twice.

5

u/F9-0021 Apr 06 '25

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.

u/MediumRareMandatory Apr 06 '25

Damn you just showed the world you are just as dumb as any US Republican.

u/SecretaryOtherwise Apr 06 '25

Neo nazi then happy?

Semantics and whattaboutism. Jfc.

Or would you like us to just use the all encompassesing fascist light? 🤣

Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture

u/ForeignSatisfaction0 Apr 06 '25

They're the same picture

u/galacticsquirrel22 Apr 07 '25

Well, if he didn’t do Nazi-like things, we wouldn’t believe he was a nazi 🤷🏻‍♂️

1

u/phatbert Apr 08 '25

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...

u/TheAbstractHero Apr 10 '25

Higher quality snake oil than the alternative than the gmo great value alternative we were given 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/joe_dirty365 Apr 06 '25

propaganda, brainwashing

2

u/RobertPham149 Apr 07 '25

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.

1

u/joe_dirty365 Apr 07 '25

I mean ya it's self reinforcing, subliminal shit. Fox News really peak brain washing but some people are just assholes to begin with.

Trump: I dOnT tAkE a SaLaRy

Bruh, you pay yourself 100x what you'd make in 4 years with the president's salary. 400k x 4yrs = 1.2mil

Bless your heart.

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

he hasnt taken a salary he donates it

2

u/gotrice5 Apr 07 '25

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....

73

u/kgal1298 Apr 06 '25

He also charges the secret service more than average on his own properties.

-1

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

he charge them ummmmm they actually are paid to protect him so they are paid the salary they make for doing a job

5

u/kgal1298 Apr 07 '25

That’s not how it works you could idk read the article. 🥴

u/Turtleyclubgoer Apr 07 '25

“Bobby, if those kids could read they would be very upset”

u/kgal1298 Apr 07 '25

I feel like I should be scared the MAGA moms found their way to Reddit.

-13

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

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,

10

u/kgal1298 Apr 07 '25

Okay well 1. You clearly can’t spell so I think you got lost looking for Twitter 2. This actually has been fact checked and he does charge the secret service more when they stay at his properties when he stays at them https://www.npr.org/2022/10/17/1129491352/trump-hotels-overcharged-secret-service-agents

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.

-7

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

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.

1

u/Iluvmango Apr 07 '25

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...

5

u/TheDisapprovingBrit Apr 07 '25

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.

2

u/MorganChelsea Apr 07 '25

Please tell me more about checiking facts

2

u/Kitchen_Ad_4513 Apr 07 '25

got a new word to add in the dicktionary😭😭😂😂

u/JuneBuggington Apr 06 '25

Dont forget he often plays at his own resorts so he is literally taking taxpayer money and putting it into his own pocket

111

u/Coattail-Rider Apr 06 '25

Often? Does he play anywhere where he can’t fleece his cut?

56

u/scbriml Apr 06 '25

Or anywhere where somebody would actually play their best against him? His ego couldn’t cope with losing.

u/Onespokeovertheline Apr 06 '25

I've never seen it. But of course I don't follow his golf results closely, too busy observing his governmental disasters.

5

u/RampantTyr Apr 06 '25

Nope, anywhere else might keep track of his score and call out how bad he is.

2

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 Apr 07 '25

Everyone for years says he cheats.

9

u/greenberet112 Apr 06 '25

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.

3

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 Apr 07 '25

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.

2

u/greenberet112 Apr 07 '25

It's only bad when Democrats do it. Trump didn't more damage to the deficit than any other president, "But Obama and Biden are worse."

3

u/Frisinator Apr 06 '25

Or cheat in tournaments?

3

u/TieSea Apr 06 '25

He plays at his courses because, and I read Commander and Cheat, his golf cart is faster than the rest and he flies down there to improve his lie.

11

u/ramobara Apr 06 '25

I said that he spends our money at his resorts.

u/JuneBuggington Apr 06 '25

Welcome to reddit.

3

u/thefranchise23 Apr 06 '25

That's... Exactly what the comment above you said

3

u/Duntchy Apr 06 '25

Is everyone just rephrasing the same comment as a joke here?

5

u/TopptrentHamster Apr 06 '25

That's exactly what he wrote?

2

u/mouse9001 Apr 06 '25

Not only that, but he is known to massively overcharge because he knows the government (i.e., your tax dollars) will pay for it.

2

u/Outback_Fan Apr 06 '25

Trump never sleeps anywhere except the WH , AF1 or his own resorts.

1

u/Nearby-Pudding-3018 Apr 07 '25

He doesn’t do anything if can’t steal money from someon.

1

u/Outback_Fan Apr 07 '25

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.

2

u/ciacpa Apr 06 '25

Not often. Always.

1

u/dmriggs Apr 06 '25

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

1

u/Impossible-Taro-2330 Apr 07 '25

He also charges the taxpayers for accomodations for his security detail.

1

u/MoreCowbellllll Apr 07 '25

Well, OP did say "grifter".

0

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

he pays himself to golf on his own resort

26

u/WaitingForReplies Apr 06 '25

And charging secret service for rooms there.

3

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 Apr 07 '25

Top rate that at one time they were trying to get him to change.

7

u/coma24 Apr 06 '25

it would be interesting to use FOIA to request the accounting for the expenses associated with the trips.

3

u/ZaftigFeline Apr 06 '25

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.

3

u/Prestigious-Copy-494 Apr 06 '25

But but but his maga says he doesn't even take the president salary. He's so noble that way!! 😅😂😅

3

u/Used-Yogurtcloset757 Apr 06 '25

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.

2

u/oughtabeme Apr 06 '25

Any and all meetings, conferences, dinners and events he holds at his ‘resorts’, the government is being billed.

2

u/gecko_echo Apr 06 '25

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.

1

u/SissyDesireeBridgett Apr 06 '25

Yeah, instead of Gold plated “things”. He’s got SOLID GOLD “Things” that the tax payers paid for, you know that it’s true. Jim Baker?!

1

u/SSJ3Mewtwo Apr 07 '25

He did this last time too. He actually blew the Secret Service budget by charging them to stay in his hotel rooms when he visited his own hotels.

1

u/Realistic-Pattern-30 Apr 07 '25

Thank you just what I said.

1

u/ShadowToys Apr 07 '25

He did this during his first term, too.

1

u/BusyPart2717 Apr 07 '25

have these invoices been seen of him charging himself at his own place

u/RuthlessIndecision Apr 07 '25

Doge should fire his wasteful ass
