    That should be enough for treason charges.

    The first truly anti-American POTUS.
    Exactly what his puppet Putin would say.

            These are the same people who call Pubs war mongers who send innocent kids to die for money. They say innocent civilians die needlessly in other countries due to our world imperialism. I agree with them. Then when Trump says the exact same thing he is a traitor and anti American. All liberal platforms are based on hypocrisy.

                Iraq was about gaining a stronghold in the middle east, to have a presence to influence politics over there. I doubt it will be successful but time will tell. It is an important part of the world for us to have a presence in and an ally if necessary, Im not sure we'll have either soon.

                    That $85 million in 8 years will probably 100x that in 4 years. If he makes it that long.

                      This trump presiency will easily cost taxpayers over $15B just in security and vacations

                      But ya, Trump and his low iq minions are all about smaller gov't and cutting out wasteful spending

                      CR residents need not respond, nobody gives a fawk what you think about America or Trump

                        Maybe if juvenile insane liberals didn't commit terroristic acts in the streets every day and threaten to kill him we would not have to spend that much on security. You do realize you pay for every President's security for life after they leave office, right???
                        I love it. The people who cause the need for extra security complain about the cost of it. Liberal logic.

                          You're out of your element in political talk, boy.

                          The reaons trumps securitywill cost so much has zero to do with either liberals or life long protection. Of course, most knew that because I said DURING Trumps presidency, it would cost over $15B.

                          But again, you dont have the breadth nor the depth to engage in these conversations

                            yup.

                            also, law and order is coming back to the USA under Trump. The insanity needs to stop. The thugs are taking over and the decent people are being threatened just for wearing a Trump hat.

                            Washington state snowflakes need not respond, nobody gives a fawk what you think about America or Trump or bedpans. We know you hate them all.

                              I'm sorry, I would need a translator for whatever language that is. I know it isn't English. So why does it cost more for security???

                              I think you need to find that happy medium between opiate intoxication and withdrawal. I know that is the holy grail that all addicts seek. Maybe it is just a dosage problem. I don't know if you would make any sense then but it couldn't be any worse.

                                A big part is that trump is always on the move and there are multiple properties they must secure, unlike any president before. We're not talking about trips to camp david either

                                Add in the more than $1-2B it will cost to provide protection for melania in nyc...

                                So much for cutting out gov't waste, guy proves to be a liar every day

                                      Securing a building in the middle of the biggest city in the country on a full time basis costs a lot of money.

                                        So nobody from a big city should be allowed to be President??? The secret service costs money when the President is in the White House. They literally go EVERYWHERE with their assignments, in this country and all foreign destinations. To say that it cost more for Trump because of multiple properties or in NYC is not very accurate.

                                          You guys don't want to hear this...but from an American govt budget perspective, $85 Mill over 4 years is a drop in the bucket. No big deal.

They literally go EVERYWHERE with their assignments, in this country and all foreign destinations. To say that it cost more for Trump because of multiple properties or in NYC is not very accurate.
                                              It does cost more, his residence in NYC is far more costly to secure than any previous president's residence. The president lives in a large apartment building, that's a unique situation. It doesn't mean that someone who lives in a big city should be prohibited from the presidency.

                                                      My point is the protection costs alot of money no matter what. If you think the added protection is really costing taxpayers alot more money I would say it would be insignificant at best. Hillary has had to be protected everywhere she has went since 1991. The Democratic Conventions alone would be a staggering cost. She traveled making speeches in big cities and staying at hotels that cost a ton to lock down. All that for a person who couldn't get elected dog catcher. This criticism of Trump is ridiculous.

                                                          99.5% of that is security and I believe trump has already exceeded that number because he has 2 sets of secret service on with him one in new York for his wife and kids.

                                                            All presidents have had their wives and families protected during and after their terms. Trump is no different. Wtf are you talking about??? After their term the wives are still protected as well as kids under 16. You people are insane.

                                                              Yes. Only problem with that is trump does not live with his wife. His wife stays in NYC. So the cost of secret service has doubled for trump. Not to mention it's a lot more expensive in NYC.

                                                                      I will say I think Trump has put in more working hours in 25 days than Obama did in 8 yrs. If I have a problem with the constant golfing it would be that angle, not the cost.

                                                                        But ya, Trump and his low iq minions are all about smaller gov't and cutting out wasteful spending

                                                                        On January 20, 2009, when he was sworn in, the debt was $10.626 trillion. On January 20, 2017, it was $19.947 trillion. That's why most people say Obama added $9 trillion to the debt, more than any other president.

                                                                        Obama added $983 BILLION in National debt in 8 years.....EIGHT YEARS!!!! Even if your made up numbers work out the way you think after 1 month of Trump, this is peanuts compared to what kind of careless spending the Obama administration conducted during his time in office. I would love to hear what you think Obama's Top 5 accomplishments were in his 8 years. I can't wait to see what you come up with here.
