Um...FUCK YOU, Fox. Trump is not Kublai Khan, and his mansion in Florida is not Xanadu. He might be closer to Czar Nicholas, with his summer and winter palaces, but I'm not so sure he'd appreciate that comparison. There is no "Winter White House." There is only one White House, it's equipped with a SITUATION ROOM and a lot of other things that a President needs to have access to, and the President is supposed to live there for a reason.
Witness what happens below when the President needs to be in the Situation Room (left), vs. at an orgy in Florida (right). North Korea launches a missile in the direction of Japan, and Trump is trying to raise his Keystone Cops Staff on his phone in between the lobster and the mousse.
Didn't Republican twits raise hell for MONTHS about where Obama was when Benghazi hit? I don't think we'll hear a peep from them about where Trump was when Kim was firing missiles.
Not to mention the fact that the American taxpayers will get stung with an estimated $10million bill every month to fly Trump and/or Melania back and forth between the White House, Trump Towers, and Mar-a-lago.
