Neera Tanden of the Center for American Progress says President Trump 'plays golf all the time at his own resorts, where he makes the secret service pay ... into his pocket. That turns out to be far, far more than what would otherwise be his salary.'

Neera Tanden tells Lawrence O’Donnell that Trump is essentially profiting off of playing golf and taxpayer dollars are going directly into his "personal slush fund.".

It’s not like he has a REAL job. Sources say he only goes to the Oval Office a couple hours a day. The rest of the time he sits in his Tom eating Bon Bons, fast food and tweeting.

His criminality knows no boundaries. Listening for chirps from the GOP buzzards..................hmmmmmm. Nothing.

🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Sounds like he has found the MAGIC WAND, that Obama didn't know existed!!

hardball On the stump he said Obama played too much golf but he wouldn't have time for golf. Lie, we spend a historical amount of our money for him, his family, his republican buddys, staff and security detail. Frankly, there should b a budget.

Didn't he said that he will be too busy to golf? and he won't leave the white house?

I expect he is useless at Golf.....does his Caddy drop Golf Balls beside the HOLES.

If it comes from , it’s propaganda/ fake.

I can’t believe some of the comments here by Trump supporters. You call this BS? Just do some critical thinking for a second. When Trump stays at his properties his staff/SS have to stay with him and pay for room, food, golf carts, etc and that money goes right into Trumps’pocket

Let’s see the big picture. How much is the overall travel spending vs previous administrations?

Way past time to take out the garbage. Thanks senatemajldr SenSusanCollins lisamurkowski SenateGOP the injuries caused is now on your heads. Have fun with all of your millions.

With the huge amount of debt being financed by foreign banks, America can't afford this president. Plenty of funds for weekend golfing none for public safety nets, the evironment, public education, healthcare, hurricane/flood/fire relief, the list goes on...

More fake news! draintheswamp

I’m sure that impeachment charade wasn’t cheap either

Now do Obama.

For one he doesn't take a salary. And while we're at it, why weren't bitching about the MILLIONS spent by the dems investigations?

I’ll wait for the evidence... so far you and other media have not proven nothing just lies.

No matter who is in office they are always working. Plus golf courses are difficult to bug.

Get the Hell out of here 🤦🏽‍♂️The Secret Service has to pay otherwise it would be considered gratuitous! You Fake News Out Lets really know how to do a Number on the Uneducated ppl of this Country 🤦🏽‍♂️

How can this be legal?

How much did it cost when Obama went to MV Hawaii and played golf........

Smear

Let’s see President Trump is worth far less today than he was in 2015 when he entered politics according to Forbes. Unlike the Obamas and Clintons he isn’t getting rich in office.

Need to also point out that congress has been out of session during that same time period for 598 days.

A small price to pay to have America returned to greatness again.

The corruption just never stop with the Trump family....!

If any other American pulled this crap on their job they'd be fired wouldn't they!

Orange man golf

The frumpthelaziestmaninpolitics! Any other American would be fired for taking this much time off from work!

Trump SupporterS would call this fake news although they watch Fox news and watch him specifically state he's at his Privately owned Golf course.If you really knew how to government work, you get paid per diem, and the place you occupy gets paid per diem.His family is Bilking

He doesn’t take a paycheck ... He’s up working and tweeting non-stop.

Trump drives massive turnout in primaries despite token oppositionPresident Donald Trump's campaign is fine-tuning its get-out-the-vote machine months ahead of the general election — a daunting challenge for Democrats If he wins again, I don’t think our constitutional republic will survive.
