How much has Trump spend on porn stars

One has to wonder why your ratings are in the tank with such hard hitting news.

Who cares?

2 time this silly story is tweeted Slow news day CNN?

CNN? Slow news day? 🤯🤯

A true new yawker!

More hard-hitting news by 🙄

bc he is a slimy rat

Thankyou Chucky you and your friend's made our President even more popular

Who gives a damn about do nothing obstructionist Schumer

So what thats 17.75 a week. Less than most yuppies Starbucks bill

It better be good too

‘Tis is $ 2.4 per day....big deal!

I felt that

Cheesecake impeached 😂

Less than 1K a year. $20 a week. I guess it only matters if he expensed it...and we actually bought him the cheesecake.

Now do how much Donny has spent on fast food, the last 3 years.

Chuckie Cheesecake?

This would be a who cares item usually but with how ineffectual Chuck Schumer is its almost insulting he’s taking time to talk about this. Still who cares for the most part.

I like him but that’s gross

it's why he is known as Chuck e Cheese

I am only upset out of jealousy. Enjoy your cheesecake SenSchumer

My god, how does he stay thin? I’m envious; if I ate that much cheesecake I’d be as fat as Trump.

BlissTabitha ...probably his tax write off.

linneydel And this is news how?

He should go back to NY, eat cheesecake all day, and stay there, retired.

He’s making light of the fact he wastes tax payer dollars on himself?

Atleast he didn’t pay off a porn star

$860 on cheesecake a year sounds reasonable to me =P

I mean, I've spent about that much on tattoos, so...

Now let's talk about how much taxpayer money Donald Trump has spent on golf in roughly 3 years.

Is $60 a month too much for cheesecake Noooo, NEVER!!! IamWithHim LoveCheesecake 😁😋

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile 45 is friends with a pedo and brags about grabbing women by their privates... reminds me of the tan suit controversy for Obama

$75 a month is not so bad..

Hope he paid for it out of his own pocket And NOT the Tax Payers

Sounds terrible until some simple arithmatic. Suppose a person spends $5 a day on coffee. Sounds like something a person might do. In ten years that adds up to what? A little over $18k. Nah, that can’t be right.

Really? The President has spent over $100 million in only 3 years on golf. That's far more important and relevant

CheesecakeChuck

How tf is this news? Who actually cares?

I'll take a few off his hands to help him deal w his vice.

Government rats like the cheese.

Yes, mine too.

I don’t see a problem with that

Now do trumps hamberders

At the price of a juniors cheesecake, that’s easy to believe! Most people have spent more on coffee!

CNN again with the groundbreaking need

What is the point of this story? Do you see corruption, bribery, contempt of Congress, obstruction of Congress with the purchase of cheesecake. C’mon CNN, do better.

Holy crap!

draintheswamp

So? Not like it’s adderall or orange make up.

The man loves cheesecake do what..

Some of us spend that much at Starbucks in a year!

Hell, dat just a large one every 2 week.

Was that MY $8,600? If so, I want to be reimbursed.

But when I do it it’s a problem 🙄 stacepond

possibly the most relatable schumer fact this year

Seems reasonable.

using taxpayer money?
