I would be more willing to award at least a couple points if he could actually stop doing business stuff. For example, he met with his Indian business contacts a couple days ago, the Chordias, and then today Pakistan starts talking about how India has been too vague on "no first use" policy. Or like when Ivanka, who is supposed to be running his blind trust, sat in on a meeting with Japanese officials. Or how there seems to be a nascent "stay-for-play" situation going on at his hotels. If/when he fully divorces himself from his businesses to ensure there is no entanglement, I could see awarding some points for declining salary.

No. He sacrificed $400k (or a new gold toilet and tub) to have a talking point to cover for continuing to do business from the White House. Guarantee you'll be hearing it thrown around as such very shortly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a security nightmare. This from the party of "fiscal restraint". Stop getting your news from twitter or Facebook. Hint - he will live in the same place every other President lived in. Anyone who believes this crap is just as ignorant as those 'birthers'. Let's call them "Towerites". LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 His pattern was to return to NY every night while on the campaign trail. I don't expect him to go home every night, but the White House will never be his home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 But they actually lived in the White House, kids went to school here, didn't go to another house every weekend. Well, except for Bush 43 who took more and longer vacations than any other president in the modern era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 He could live in Vegas. So many cameras every where. International airport lots of things to do. Don't care about where he lives just what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 What a ridiculous thread. Every President runs up a huge tab and they get bigger and bigger as security requirements escalate. Both sides complain depending upon who is President, but it's a complete waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its time everyone supported the Commander in Chief elect because its for the good of the country. No, it is not an inherent good that we all blindly support someone simply because they received more electoral votes than someone else. That is a deeply harmful, wholly unamerican idea that infuriates me when I see it. Anyone reading this: if posts like these are setting off alarms in your head, they should. When it comes to politics and your right to peacefully assemble and speak your mind about our government's flaws, never let anyone silence you. Be as loud as you want to be and complain as much as you want. You don't have to sit idly by and watch the country burn in order to be a diplomatic, kind-hearted American. The day that changes, I'm getting the hell out of dodge. As far the main topic goes: I expect the president to reside in DC. I also expect to pay a ridiculous tab for everything else because that's what always happens. If Trump can't at least fulfill the former, it will be one more in a long list of things I dislike about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The idea that either side "get's over it" quickly after an election is dishonest. I am not suggesting it has never happened, but ever since I was old enough to somewhat competently follow election coverage (Clinton '92) I've never seen either side quietly go about their business after the election results. Things got a bit louder after the 2000 election but that was sort of understandable given the controversy surrounding the election results themselves rather than the person who won. Then it went to a whole new level when Obama pulled the upset with his win. It's barely been two weeks and Trump has yet to have made a move or appointment that suggests he is interested in "bringing the country together," That is on him and/or whoever is making the decisions on who to fill the cabinet with.

Dan T. Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeah, just like ol' bobandweave says. Get over it. Like Donald Trump got over it by stoking the rumors for years that Barack Obama was an illegitimate President because he was not born in the United States. This isn't Democrats bitter because a Republican won. Nope. This is different. This is millions of rational people amazed that a reality TV star with an inches deep understanding of the issues and the temperament of a six year old could be elected President.

Meh, everyone is rational, just ask them. Eight years ago a well respected career Senator and Military Veteran lost to a no name with very little experience. In retrospect, the ones that nominated that well respected career Senator were out of touch and absolutely underestimated the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
