"The government spent about $96 million on travel by Obama over eight years, according to documents obtained by the conservative group Judicial Watch. A report by the Government Accountability Office, which serves as the congressional watchdog on federal spending, estimated that Trump’s travel cost $13.6 million in just one month in early 2017."

interesting that you're using different sources to make the comparison

trump uses one of his golf clubs as his vacation home. you would have to include martha's vinyard and hawaii in the Obama figures to start to make an accurate comparison

and then I guess you could throw in the savings since Trump is basically working for nothing

Liars, damn liars, and statisticians. What I do know is very tangible. Very low unemployment. Repatriation of overseas corporate money. Great increase in manufacturing jobs. Record stock market. High consumer confidence. TDSers refuse to admit it, but it's there.
Thanks, Hannity.

Hey dummy, who pays for the travel costs and security to Trumps "vacation home" where he's spent 1/3 of his entire time as POTUS? Obama's travels were included in the graph. Pay attention.

Travelling to Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard is more expensive than Bedminster and Miami

Yes he is. He believes Trump shot the economy through the roof. He didn’t, he continued the growth seen under Obama. He feels everything is so much better because the propaganda he consumes started telling him everything is now awesome because the black guy left office. The reality is trends continued. When pressed for any figures to back up his feelings he responds with more feelings. He is objectively wrong.

Repatriation has of corporate cash only resulted in stock buybacks that inflated the value of stock. That’s according to the Fed. No real underlining gain to the economy.

We were stagnant under Obama. He was the only president to never achieve 3% annual GDP. Could certainly blame the Great Recession for some of that but after 8 years? Obama hampered business with costly regulations. What's the importance of repatriation? Corporations were trying to protect their capital from a voracious government. Under Trump they feel like they can make and keep more. And of course the acid test is if things were going well under Obama Hillary would have won. The economy was stagnant and Trump jumpstarted it. And has done what's necessary since. If Hillary was president do you think she would have stood up to China? They would still be enjoying a huge trade imbalance that only benefited a relative few here. The Iranians would be cheating on the deal Kerry made, the Mexican border would still be porous, and most likely she would have gotten us involved in a regime change war that makes Wall Street and the military/industrial complex happy while making the rules of engagement detrimental to the safety of our troops. No, I'm not an economist who can roll out a bunch of stats, but I know what I'm seeing, and to your chagrin most Americans are seeing the same.

1)Trump likes golf better than Obama?
2)Obama's golfing pal was taking drugs , crashing cars, screwing porn babes, and going through a divorce and just couldn't hook up as much as he would have liked?
3) Would it be different for you if Trump spent the time by fishing? How about playing tennis?

TDS is difficult but it is treatable. While you are enjoying living in these times because of his leadership ability, stop bitching and enjoy the ride. Relax, get in a golf cart and play a round.

Could have saved yourself some time and just written, “sorry, I was wrong.” The facts don’t back up your rambling.
