    No! Do you not read?

    Average is going to be much lower this season. For the reasons I explained.

    Do you know how the Flu spreads?

    That’s fine. How much lower? And where are the MILLIONS of cases we should still expect?

    No. From his inauguration in late Jan 2017 - April of 2017 when he article was written.

    Thanks for proving my point. Per your article:

    He spent $20 MILLION at his properties in the first 3 months of his administration. Obama on the other hand spent $12 million in 2 years.

    And it is not a reflection of any new policy or change in policy by the Trump Administration.

    Of course it is. It was a result of the plethora of regulations that moron Obama put in place that got rolled back by trump. Making businesses more likely to expand and hire full time permanent employees.

    Whereas Obama built his “economy” on the backs of creating a ton of part-time contract positions because he did it through government investment and stimulus. Which is tantamount to running a business and about to go bankrupt and instead you take out a massive loan and hire some part-time people to make your numbers look better. Which is fine until the money runs out and the jobs disappear.

    Not only did you make that up, it’s patently false.

    The Secret Service actually broke their lease on Trump Tower because Trump was trying to strong arm them into paying exhorbitant rent.

    All the charges at Mar A Lago and Bedminster were. increased significantly in anticipation of Federal businesses.

    Word leaders and traders knew to book Trump hotels and pay their baksheesh to the baron.

    Trump even had USAF personnel booked into his Scotland resort on layover after the government changed the airport they normally passed through.

    I’m sure it won’t take too much digging to come up with plenty more.

    Trump and his family have had their hands out from day one.

    No idea what you're talking about. How should I know where "millions" of cases of influenza will occur.

    Actually it had to do with the fact they moved their comand post to the street.....the SS wanted it one floor below the their Apartment....

    either way the Trump family had been there sicne taking the WH...so ti was a win win for tax payers.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...38de16-785d-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html

    "
    Previously, the Secret Service had stationed its command post — which houses supervisors and backup agents on standby in case of an emergency — in a Trump Tower unit one floor below the president’s apartment.

    But in early July, the post was relocated to a trailer on the sidewalk, more than 50 floors below, a distance that some security experts worry could hamper the agency that protects the president’s home and family.

    The command post appears unlikely to move anytime soon back inside Trump Tower, where the president and his family have rarely gone since moving to the White House."

    Everything else you say has been debunked.

    Care to describe these mysterious regulations. Funny how no Trumpsters really can.

    But Trump bellowed it, so you repeat it.

    And the rest of it is the usual right wing talk radio drivel.

    If that was the case, he wouldn't be voted out by the people. But I guess we shall see, huh?

    You know, Liberals confuse me. On one hand, Liberals argue for investment in our society: Jobs, roads, etc all things that good earnest people can get behind. Yet at the same token, Liberals now want to point out the hypocrisy of deficits growing under conservative governments.

    The key really is, for the federal government to be mindful of how and where it's doing its spending. The highway project under Eisenhower gave us central highways that lasted for 100 years, and now are in need of updates. This is great spending because it means as we update it, we won't have to for another century. You couldn't ask businessmen for better fixed costs, returns and longevity.

    On the other hand, the backlog of public programs where people's payments are overdue or they haven't escaped the clutches of the welfare system has created something where the government forks out billions, to tax people for billions of more. If we got rid of the backlog and better managed our public systems, I feel the government could have much more balanced sheets and thereby need to tax less.

    And no, taxing less doesn't mean Warren Buffett gets more money. At one point in the Obama Presidency, he appealed to tax cuts on the middle class. When one considers what a lawyer or a doctor has to invest, high taxation kills these absolutely necessary jobs. Basically, Liberals need to be envy-less about money.

    What is it with you Trumpsters? Always trying to move the goal posts.

    The made up claim was that Trump charged “cost”. You have no evidence of that beyond Eric Trump’s claim. And there is no reason to believe anything that a Trump says.

    And ample evidence that Trump arranged for Federal official to have to use his facilities, and that they were charged a lot more for doing so.

    You’re attempt to dismiss that, is to note that he may not have made money off of it.

    Well, this is the same guy who managed to lose money in the casino business.

    The fact that he is an incompetent leader of a failing family business does not change the fact that he tried to make it up out of your pocket.

    And you’re defending it!
