I suppose if Trump was protected like the Clintons and Obama, he wouldn’t need to address these bullshit investigations, which have led to the democrats, NOT him. Funny how that works.
History will show trump to be a bigger lump of excrement than Nixon.

LOL, history has already shown Obama to be the biggest lump of excrement to occupy the WH.
No. No it hasn’t at all.

Lol, yes, yes it has. His legacy is being erased and history is showing how irrelevant he was to helping the American people. The only thing his presidency did was enable this country to turn into a shithole and thank God Trump is turning that around.
Sebastian Gorka is a man of many distinctions. He was one of the first Breitbart alums to be tapped to serve a U.S. president. The first deputy assistant to a president to also be a fugitive from justice in a foreign county. And the only White House employee to ever be confused with an Olmec head.
In short: At some point in the medium-future, Donald Trump will be gone, the executive branch will return to something resembling normalcy, and people like Seb Gorka won’t be allowed within sniffing distance of political power. So we ought to appreciate him while we have him.
Few presidential advisors ever struggled with security clearance the way Gorka did. Shortly before he was fired, he had his clearance revoked while he was on vacation. And even now, two years after his departure, the fact of his clearance is being investigated by the Democrats.
The Hungarian Dragon came to Trump World offering himself as an academic and even though his credentials were somewhat . . . questionable . . . the vanity plates on his (four cylinder?) black Mustang—the poor man’s Darth Vader sports car—told you everything you needed to know about his tough-guy bona fides. And in case you wanted an extra helping of bona fides, there’s this Gorka-ism: “The era of the pajama boy is over and alpha males are back!” Because Lord knows, there’s nothing more alpha than talking about how alpha you are while sitting in a satellite cable studio talking into a camera.
Since his time in the White House, the Gorka has done what many terminated members of Trump World have done: Engaged in a humiliating struggle to cling to his small piece of the fame pie. And it’s a battle he’s mostly winning: His LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastian-gorka-ph-d-0a86a35/ that he’s a contributor to Fox News and the Heritage Foundation and has a show, “America First,” on the Salem Radio Network.
...
Like so much else about Gorka—his “resignation,” his “doctorate,” his predictions, his alpha-bear status—this https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/ruth-bader-ginsburg-makes-first-public-appearance-since-cancer-surgery/2019/02/04/251d59f4-28cf-11e9-b2fc-721718903bfc_story.html (turned out to be cracked), too.
But just be warned: You may think that Sebastian Gorka is a ridiculous figure of fun. But some day the White House is going to be run by boring, semi-competent technocrats again. And you’ll miss him.
Since his first month in office, with his first weekend forays to his private retreat in Florida — Mar-a-Lago — questions have been raised about the cost of those trips. This isn’t simple to figure out, given that the total includes costs incurred by various government agencies as well as costs associated with Trump’s Secret Service protection. Although estimates of the cost existed, it would require a great deal of information from across the government to come up with an accurate total.
The Government Accountability Office gathered that information. On Tuesday, it released a report looking only at Trump’s first four trips to Mar-a-Lago as president: on Feb. 3-6; Feb. 10-12; Feb. 17-20; and March 3-5, 2017.
The total? Just under $14 million, for an average cost of $3.4 million per trip. That includes about $8.5 million spent by the Defense Department and $5 million by the Department of Homeland Security. It also includes about $60,000 paid directly to Mar-a-Lago itself, $24,000 of which was for lodging for Defense Department personnel and $36,000 for operational space used by DHS.
The immediate question, of course, is how those costs extrapolate to all of Trump’s visits. This invariably leads to some apples-oranges problems, but we can make some reasonable estimates.
If we, therefore, assume a blanket average of $3.4 million per trip, regardless of duration, the total the government has spent on Trump’s trips to the resort tops $64 million.
Our estimate of $64 million also errs on the low side, equating as it does the week-plus Trump spent at Mar-a-Lago in December 2017 with his three-day trip there in February that same year. What’s more, it excludes every other trip Trump has made to one of his own properties as president, including to his private club in Bedminster, N.J., and his frequent forays to his golf club in Sterling, Va.
The mystery surrounding the costs of Trump’s travel lives on.

Until he tops Obama’s $114 mil, come to the table with something better than this.
The Obama family's travel costs topped $114 million and Trump's are $10 million so far, according to new documents
Lol. That Newsweek article is 2 years old. Even in that old old article it references that trump is outpacing Obama.

$14 mil. He has $100 mil to go to catch your savior.
SOTU STFU

Donald Trump is not a history buff. But “buff” is a not word usually associated with Trump. If Trump even had a cursory knowledge of history, or at least of the office he holds, he’d stop channeling Richard Nixon.
Out of the 44 presidents before him, Nixon is the one president Trump should bone up on the most, and not the fellow racist president currently overlooking the Resolute Desk.
Trump has channeled Nixon by claiming it’s not illegal if he does it. His “no collusion” and witch hunt” lines mimic Nixon’s “I am not a crook.” At last night’s State of the Union, he did the Nixon when he said, “If there is going to be peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It just doesn’t work that way!” During the 1974 State of the Union, Nixon said before Congress, “I believe the time has come to bring that investigation and the other investigations of this matter to an end. One year of Watergate is enough.”
But, Trump is an idiot. He thought the women in Congress wearing white were applauding him when he commented on the high number of women in the workforce and the largest female body in the history of Congress. He didn’t realize they were applauding themselves…and mocking him. It’s the nation’s reaction to Trump’s racist, hateful, and stupid policies and actions that sent the largest female delegation in history to Congress.
Trump is wrong about “how it works.” While it is distracting, the multiple investigations into Trump’s crime syndicate does not prevent the government from doing business. Trump shutting down the government is what prevents it from working.
With the Trump organization, the Trump Campaign, and even the Trump Inaugural Committee under investigation, part of the government’s business is investigating Trump. When the nation elects a crook, it’s up to the nation to root out the corruption.
We can’t refuse to look into crimes because it bothers a corrupt president. It’s not the nation’s fault that a con man is currently in the White House. It was a minority of voters and Russian interference that placed him there as the majority of American voters opted for Hillary Clinton.
Nixon said, “One year of Watergate is enough.” I say two years of this corrupt, racist, stupid, inept administration is too many.

Lmao. The women in white - today’s new KKK, just like their party of old.
That was after 9 months in office. Note the date of the article. His latest Mar a Lago trip costs us $64 million alone
The white has nothing to do with the KKK for shitsakes... that's a super-lame sound bite that some lame-ass came up with. Note there are black women wearing the white, for chrissakes.
