Discussion: WH Spox Grilled On How Trump Staying At NJ Golf Club Saves Taxpayer Money

Yeah, she is. It’s like Maggie Haberman and Chris Cillizza are competing for the Gold and Silver in the “Clueless Olympics”. And she got totally roasted on her twitter account.

“You guys complain we work too much around here and that you’re too tired and now we don’t work enough?” Sanders
interjected jokingly.

I would tell her not to give up her day job, but she sucks at that at least as much as she sucks at comedy.

I could not care less where he goes, what he does, or what he says. He’s a pathetic child. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a shameless waste of space. SO ANGRY TODAY!!!

From today’s Doonesbury Say What:
“How am I doing? Am I doing okay? I’m president. Hey, I’m president! Can you believe it?”—
Trump, at Rose Garden gathering to celebrate House passage of AHCA

This is the problem. Trump has a very short memory and wakes up every morning anew discovering he’s President of the United States of America. He may not know what city he’s in. All he really needs a good neurological work-up. No meds, though. He’s ditzy enough as it is.

All his paying customers are his friends.The ones that don’t pay, not so much. Trump only really likes to hang around the kind of people who can afford his clubs

I think one of the job qualifications of DT press idiot is to have to recite the same bullshit line at least 3 times in almost exactly the same manner while attempting to sound like it’s a revelation every time you say it.

I’m open to the possibility that this was combination snark and dig at Spicer by Haberman.

I considered that as well. Maybe. I’d like to think so.

Haberman is a Trumpist suck-up who soft-pedals any Trump criticism and over-praises anything that can be remotely seen as positive for the Current Occupant.

She’s the NYT’s new Judith Miller.

being in New Jersey instead of in New York where it would have caused a much greater disruption and much greater cost to taxpayers,” she said.

So the WH response to this question was, “We could have wasted much more of your money. Just be grateful we only spent as much as we did.” ?

Right. Because we already PAY to protect Trump Tower and the White House whether his fat ass is there or not. We THEN pay if he’s at one of his ‘clubs’. We pay for his kids flying around making deals for access with the President and he wants to ‘convince’ us he’s SAVING us money? And they call this guy a BUSINESSMAN?

Well, making money hand over fist while bankrupting institutions and leaving everyone else holding the bag does seem to be working for him.

Let’s not forget there are two questions here and “saves the US money” is only one of them. Maybe it does, net, save the government money vs. his alternatives. Who can say? Question #2 is how much dollar volume of business does this create for the Trump Organization? Who’s paying for/getting paid for the rooms? The catering? Etc. (Are these properties comping all this just because?) Seems like his choices to use his own properties amounts to steering government business to himself. In ANY other case where the government is spending money to procure goods and services, this would be flat out illegal. Not to mention the free publicity and promotion.

I would assume he is at a NJ golf course rather than Manhattan for two reasons. First, it’s a golf course. Duh. Second, I assume the suburban location and logistics of a county club make it far easier to isolate him from the indignities of any protests than in Manhattan, where he might actually hear the crowds while dead of night tweeting from his bajillion thread count gold sheets.

Do we KNOW he made money ‘hand over fist’ before he started stripping the country?

I’m surprised we haven’t seen a No Bid Contract sail through Congress granting the Trump Organization development rights on the White House grounds to build that Trump Presidential Golf Course.

Of course membership will be limited to Trump and any FUTURE Presidents and the Licensing Fee for the Trump name will be waived during Donald’s Residency

Again, this was the President’s first time to go back home to the New York metro area, and I think he’s trying to save the taxpayers money the best way he can by taking his team and — focused on being in New Jersey instead of in New York where it would have caused a much greater disruption and much greater cost to taxpayers,” she said.

You know what I do to save money?
I stay home. I don’t go out. I don’t go on vacation for the wekend. I stay at home and find a good movie on TV.

If Trump’s true intent was to save someone else’s money, he would do the same. But he doesn’t because it’s all bullshit.

He didn’t go home because thin skin didn’t want the bad optics of him FINALLY scoring a “victory” w/ the House and having groups of protesters to greet him when he goes home. Because that would have erased the positive him and his admin have been thirsty for for the past couple of months. Instead, the negative news coverage would be shown.THAT’s why he stayed away.
