    Augers well for his other stated intentions wouldn't you say?

    Not wishing to start another argument, just interested to see you explain how I did this - after all, it is easy to just sit there behind a computer keyboard and merely spout accusations isn't it?

    I did explain my rationale.... However much money Trump saves or spends on other things has no bearing on the time/money he spents at Mar-a-Lago. Talking about savings on the F-35 has nothing to do with how much he spends on security/travel.

    I seriously can't tell if you are just trying to be funny or if you really believe the crap you post.

    Agreed, but I did not discuss Trump's Mar a Lago trips either.
    So in effect, your accusation was a strawman.

    I seriously don't know if you're bluffing.
    Iow, if you have an actual refutation, please don't be shy.

    Odd people would expect you to discuss Trump's wasteful spending of taxpayer money on Mar A Lago trips in a thread titled "
    Trump the Gigantic Waste of Taxpayer Money: $20 million for Mar-a-Lago vacations in first 100 days"

    That's more Cowardly Lion than a Strawman

    Not surprising you would jump to false conclusions when I was discussing something else with another poster.

    Which false conclusion did I jump to... that the title of the thread is "Trump the Gigantic Waste of Taxpayer Money: $20 million for Mar-a-Lago vacations in first 100 days" or that you were off topic?

    Thoughts on this increasing our deficit despite your initial claims Trump is saving the U.S. money?

    Thoughts on his tax plan increasing the debt by trillions of dollars? How is he saving anything again?

    Like I already said, I and another poster were discussing something else. Please read for comprehension.
    In the meantime, re - the Mar a Lago deaI, I will await the GAO's findings.

    I'm the poster you quoted. You're going to wait for the GAO findings? You don't trust VP Pence when he says it's going to increase the debt? Why would he lie about that?

    Why were you quick to point out Trump saved 89 billion dollars like you said before GAO findings but want to wait until GAO findings about the increase in our debt by most likely trillions of dollars? Is Pence not a trustworthy source to you?

    Is this one of those if it's good news for Trump, you don't need to trust the credibility of the source but if it's bad news, then you can't trust the credibility?

    "Could" increase by trillions of dollars "in the short term."
    Once again, I think I'll wait and see the end result - after all, I don't see the sky falling.

    Why boast about Trump saving 89 billion then before the facts?

    Simple - one has already happened while the other is yet to happen.
    Slight difference.

    Yep, racism and ideology are what people are holding on to....republicans will not break party ranks no matter how crappy their party is looking with this loser in there.

    At some point it will implode on them as Tea Party policies are SUPER unpopular among the majority.

    So you don't trust VP Pence when he says it's going to increase the debt? That's not good enough for you? Why would he lie?

    You have your facts all askew - I never said I doubted it.
