(50,303 posts)The cash is still going into Don's pockets. Before he was POTUS it was $100,000 to join. After it's $200,000 to join. I bet the price of everything else has gone up as well. So the taxpayers are shelling out $3 million every weekend so Trump can give his guests the "presidential" experience. Ka-ching. Ka-ching. Ka-ching. This is better than Bernie Madoff's scheme.

There are enough cabinet members in place and congress needs to be working, those are the stories the press needs to report on.
Trump is a bunch of sticky icky fluff.
We need to focus on making sure the country does not get broken beyond repair.
If he wants attention, he should call a press conference. He shows his stuff well enough in that type of setting.
