That's not what was done for President Obama. Why should President Trump not be extended the same protections that his predecessor was, and still is, even though he is no longer in office?

 

How many other residences did the Obama's have when they lived in the White House?

Two separate residences on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, his Chicago residence, and a property in Hawaii.

I thought the Martha's Vineyard properties were just someone else's that they used?

 

And yes, it even makes a difference in this context: you don't have to secure a borrowed-and-occasionally-used vacation spot the same way you'd have to a primary residence.

They were rented properties.

And not one that takes up a full New York City block

Reporter: You were talking about the steel worker in Ohio and the coal miner in Pennsylvania and so on. But those workers may have an elderly mother who depends on the Meals on Wheels program, who may have kids in Head Start. And yesterday or the day before you described this as a hard power budget but is it also a hard-headed budget?

 

Mulvaney: I don't think so. I think it's probably one of the most compassionate things we can do to—

 

Reporter: Cutting programs that help the elderly?

 

Mulvaney: You're only focusing on half of the equation, right? You're focusing on recipients of the money. We're focusing on recipients of the money and people who give us the money in the first place. I think it's fairly compassionate to go to them and say, look, we're not going to ask you for your hard-earned money anymore. Single mom of two in Detroit, OK, “Give us your money!” We're not going to do that anymore unless we can—please let me finish. Unless we can guarantee that money will be used in a proper function. That is about as compassionate as you can get.

And the great thing about the budget revealed yesterday is that Trump does nothing to reduce the deficit like he promised he would, he just takes money from other programs to fund his wall

What about his home in Kenya?

Al-Quida pays for that. Sort of how the majority of Trump's people get money from Russia

Had to fix that

Shifting the goal posts.

 

Do you make any arguments that aren't built on the back of fallacy?

 

Who molested you as a child - the priest?

 

Is that why you want Jesus inside you?

Stop being a troll. Argument is fine, being a %$#$head isn't.

Hey Gator:

 

You certainly picked a bright reporter to quote, unless the elderly mother he is referring to is yours.

This is exactly the response one usually gets when their opponent realizes his argument is poor, and he has neither the capacity to improve his argument, nor the intellectual honesty to admit that he's been wrong.

You are exactly the kind of refugee I had hoped to not end up here. You remind me of lyrbob.
