    He likes playing golf, Biden liked hanging out at the beach, you didn't complain about Biden so don't complain about Trump. He played at a golf course he owns and somehow that's wrong. Would you be happier if he played at a different course?

    BTW, he did work on this trip and cut a deal with the EU that has everybody talking about what a good deal he negotiated with the EU.

    Screw that funeral noise. Incinerate my ass, spread my ashes in a good set of waves in Galveston, have a party with good hallucinogenics and tell funny stories about the crazy **** I did.

    That problem eventually solves itself; anger, hate, fear and stress have been shown to significantly decrease lifespans.

    A very good friend of mine fell into the MAGA cult. Average white guy, out of shape, bbq every weekend, desk job…and nonstop hate and fear. He had a heart attack and died at 42. I saw his widow and young kids last weekend. ****ing terrible.

    So what is it? There are no jobs, or there are too many jobs people don't want to do because of deportations?

    It's not enough for y'all to root for the economy to fail. ( It's not failing) Now y'all are rooting for deaths. I would LMAO if y'all weren't so sad.

    BTW, 2 years ago I had a liberal friend die of a heart attack at age 57. Doesn't mean I'm hoping all liberals die of heart attacks.

    Bingo. Hadn't thought about the coast for some of my stuff, I've told my brother to just pour me in the creek out at the ranch. I'll eventually end up on the coast I suppose.

    I've also told him to organize a proper backyard wake, with bbq and beverages and b.s.

    Spare me your Biden at the beach comparison. It's so ridiculously absurd to make that comparison it's laughable.

    Biden didn't make a living going to the beach. He didn't go there to hold fundraisers, make tit for tat deals, take donations for pardons, or make money off those staying at his properties for high dollars, or paying high dollars for dinners there to do business.

    It's all about the grift for the snake oil salesman in a suit, who blurs the lines of ethics and corruption more than even I imagined possible. Trump 2.0 is like his first term on steroids, and the Trump family is making billions.

    **********The information on the site below was last updated July 31 ***********

    Number of days President Trump has been in office

    193

    Trump visits to his properties

    105

    Of those, the number that are golf courses visits

    68

    Visits to Trump properties by people other than Trump

    Cabinet officials 25
    State government officials 17
    Foreign government officials 19

    Events held at Trump properties

    Political groups Events 21
    Foreign governments Events 5
    Special interests Events 34

    Official promotion of Trump business interests by Trump and other administration officials

    Promoted by Trump 62
    Promoted by administration officials 10

    https://www.citizensforethics.org/r...s-properties-and-other-conflicts-of-interest/

    There is a huge difference between the conflicts of interest between Biden and Trump, and it isn't even close.

    Besides his family Crypto business, his media companies, his Trump merchandise, hotels, golf courses, and many other businesses, his Trump family business foreign interests are huge, and growing. 21 Trump-branded real estate projects will be developed in foreign countries during Trump's presidency.

    Talk about about conflicts of interest, and using his properties as his go to fundraising and grifting locations, Trump is the grifting King of them all, and a national security threat. So don't even spew your ridiculous comparison of Biden at the beach. There will probably never come a time when you care though. You defend Trump on everything. Tell me, would you support him pardoning Maxwell and Diddy? Do you support sending Maxwell, the sick recruiter, groomer, pedo, and right hand woman to Epstein's pedo trafficking to a minimum security prison?

    LOL, OK. Cherry pick one tariff out of the whole world. The fact is he's doing nothing but making things worse. You can cheer him on, but that doesn't mean anything to most Americans. Cheer on the old grifting geezer all you want though.

    Just 38% approve of Trump’s handling of the economy as promises of ‘golden age’ collide with reality

    I was just saying he was working on that trip. It was made out like all he was doing was going on a golfing trip.

    He's only been on the job for six months. I like where the economy is headed, particularly when Powell is out of office. Time will tell, this story is far from being written and I put little value in the approval numbers right now, whether they're good or bad

    Is Trump also working on these trips? We know Biden wasn't working.

    I'm a big fan of crypto

    The EU leaders are saying Starmer got taken advantage of on this deal. Find me one person who thinks the EU deal was a bad deal for the USA?

    LMAO I said, you cherry pick one tariff out of hundreds. Trump's tariffs and policies aren't going to make our prices do anything but go up. Those promises he made on reducing our electric rates by 50% this year and stopping inflation day one were pure BS.

    We were talking about Trump playing golf and I said it was a working trip and pointed out the EU as an example of a working trip. Then you joined the conversation.

    Personally I'm more than willing as an example to pay 52.00 for a 50.00 pair of sneakers to bring jobs and money, investments back to this country and not be as reliant on a foreign adversary like China for goods. It was embarrassing and dangerous that we didn't make our own drugs, masks during the pandemic. Obviously you only care about yourself and the cost of things vs the long term financial health and literal health of the citizens in this country. Very selfish of you, and notice I said citizens, not ILLEGALS.

    Seems pretty smart to me.

    Although it could be that he simply wanted to play a round of golf.

    I'm going to need some concrete proof of this and if so, I want Trump, Clinton, Gates, Prince Andrew etc... to all be put in jail.

    One thing I'm pretty sure of is Trump never visited Epstein Island.
