Trump’s clubs charge $60K to rent carts to Secret Service as agency runs out of money

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - Lets look at this post as an example. The article states that secret service has spent $60k for golf cart fees protecting President Trump.

On the surface that seems high, but until you compare it to golf cart fees for other presidents, you really don't know if it is out of line or a normal fee that someone has posted to draw the ire of the liberals.

LTC Frank D. Has any president golfed as often or personaly profited doe the golf cart rentals?

@cpl Benjamin long Cpl Benjamin Long did you see the Paul Ryan town hall on CNN last night? I missed it… but it would be curious if he addressed that issue live on the air.

Capt Dwayne Conyers - I agree...

SSG(P) (Join to see), why answer a Trump question with, “but, what about Obama?” That's kind of like saying, “Mom! The dog Peed on the carpet… but the cat is on the sofa!”

Capt Dwayne Conyers - Notice he changed tactics. Was losing with his ignorant Obama remarks and now switched to the "look at the Clintons" defense. Ugh...

MAJ James Woods - Kevin Ford brought up personal enrichment through political means. What better example than the Clinton Foundation? It has been used to illegally funnel funds from foreign donors to illicit payments in the form of speaking fees from Russia, no less. Or are you just using ad hominem attacks to divert from the fact that I was addressing a related issue that was brought up?

Either way, do you two want to be alone?

SSG(P) (Join to see) - We're discussing Trump Org profiteering off of government and you and Kevin Ford bring up the Clintons. Yet I'm the one using ad hominem attacks to divert the discussion? Whatever, guy. Hope your day job doesn't require critical thinking, stick to doing what you're told without question.

I would agree that the President should not be making a profit here. However, this is a fairly complicated issue. The Golf Course in question is part of a business that is ran by it's own CEO, its own Board, and has other share holders. The President is not involved in its day to day operations and is completely separated from issues such as daily golf cart rentals. Ostensibly, the President would eventually see a profit at some point if the business thrives or is sold at a profit. However, this situation is more like Warren Buffet drinking a diet Coke on TV and saying he has to have one every day. If sales go up that's great (because he owns 30% of the company) but he's not making money off the individual sales.

MSgt James Mullis - But he knows some of the profits from the business ventures are going into a trust that he has not fully divested himself from; so he is being complicit in profiting off the use of family owned businesses at an extraordinary rate. Otherwise, he'd use other luxury resorts or Camp David that benefits others but this is about capitalism and taking advantage of all the loopholes that exist. He's very good at that. He represents the swamp he condemned on the campaign. We all saw this coming.

MAJ James Woods - and yet, despite your great foresight, Hillary and her supporters still lost!

MSgt James Mullis - Shocking...another Hillary lost response. As Gomer Pyle would say, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
