Can we all just agree that the president is an orange-skinned snake oil salesman who conned those who voted for him into believing that he wasnt? Can we also just agree that Russia has a basement apartment in the White House and writes Mother Russia on the milk and cereal so that President Asshat doesnt touch its stuff? Can we also agree that yalls president is a lazy thot?
Hes been in office less than three months and he cant stop vacationing; in fact, according to The Independent, President TrumPutin spent some $24 million vacationing in his first 10 weeks, which is about as much as President Barack Obama spent in two years.
Thats because President Asshat is on a two-week-on, one-week-off work schedule. Since taking office, Trump has spent seven weekends at Mar-a-Lago, his Florida vacation home, and its believed that each trip, which includes an extensive security detail, costs taxpayers around $3 million.
To put that in perspective, Obama averaged around $12.1 million a year during his presidency, or about $97 million during his two terms. If President TrumPutin keeps vacationing at this rate, he will surpass Obamas eight-year total in a mere 10 months. But kids dont need the Public Broadcasting Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency is being cut off at the knees. You would think, with this much vacationing, hed at least have a decent tan.
