SPENDING: D vs. GOP

Trump: The money pit from Paul Underwood of St. Maries, attacks President Trump and his family. Easy to see Paul is a far lefty and he whines because his Queen Hillary did not win. He attacks Melania Trump for costing $150,000 per day, don’t know if cost is true or not, but as long as it is a Trump family member it cost too much. He also believes that the rest of the Trump family should not be guarded as it cost money. I am sure Paul never complained about President Obama’s cost of guarding his family members or when Michelle Obama took vacations in Europe and took many of her friends and used Air Force One for traveling and paid for all of her friends’ hotel rooms, etc. Now maybe her friends paid for their own rooms, I don’t know, but U.S. citizens paid for the air travel and all of the Secret Service personnel that had to travel with them.

Then you really get insulting by talking about new drapes, carpet, china, etc. and complaining about the cost. Of course you never complained about President Obama and Michelle making changes in the White House, like a basketball court for the president, that needed to be built.

The new Air Force One was ordered under President Obama, not President Trump. They need a new updated plane with all of the new electronics and protections for the president.

I understand that as long as a Democrat is in office you are fine with spending money on the First Family.
