had he not overcharged the SS for protecting him. The travel alone, those a tad excessive in my mind wasn't a huge deal (at least until he was having rallies which spread COVID) but his proffitting from said travel was a problem.

while I do think he travel was on the excessive side of life, that wasn't why he was a horrid President.

Maria: "It's worth noting that Biden spent this weekend in Delaware, his fifth trip home since becoming president. That's his sixth weekend away from the White House."

Qusay: "First of all, Maria, it's heartbreaking to us. I saw how much time and effort my father put into the job."

Soaking the taxpayer at your privately owned sewage treatment plants...I mean golf courses...requires sooooo much time and effort. It is very, very, very hard wurk.
