Jackie Speier on why Camp David is maintained as a secure retreat

Kyle Griffin
@kylegriffin1

Jackie Speier, asked on CNN about the Chinese woman who entered Mar-a-Lago, says this is why Camp David is maintained as a secure retreat: "We are ripe for the picking by the Chinese, the Russians & any number of other adversaries and the president is making us more vulnerable."

They're his support system. The ones who don't cheer him outright just grumble then knuckle under.

domestic enemies. I can’t imagine the secrets that have been sold off. We are witnessing our international prestige and advantage being diminished everyday while the Chines and Russians make deals around the world. While the idiot sits watching television and tweeting our founding principles are being burned to the ground.

At Mar-a-lardo he can bill the government for everything from Secret Service rooms, golf carts, snot rags, anything. All on the taxpayer dime. Of course he won't go to Camp David. No money there.

He says he is worried about the country's security from all those "brown people" who he claims are bringing drugs, etc and need the wall and needs to shut down the border. He always wants $$$$$ and he gets that from the taxpayers for his trips and the idiots who pay to play/cheat golf with him. Who cares if the country is in danger, he gets to profit off of his patrons and eats up our tax dollars for his 3 million dollar weekends and golf.

When a Democrat wins the next time, a wealthy Democratic diner needs to buy a place for the president to go every weekend.

The Republicans will claim that he is waisting US money and make it where the Presidential personal with a large entourage has to go to U.S. owned places like Camp David.

Secret security clearances against the advice of the intelligence community. When you realize we can't get the MSM to report on perhaps the gravest threat to our national security it should become clear that we don't bring it up because it won't do any good.

I agree with your thinking, but unfortunately the MSM doesn't, and when the Dems actually get air time on MSM they use it to discuss even bigger scandals.

Whenever a Republican brings up Hillary, every Democrat should bring up Trump and national security. That is how you make something an issue --> repetition, repetition, repetition.
