douche boy staying in nj, rather than nyc to "save the taxpayers money"

Donald J. Trump‏Verified account @realDonaldTrump

Rather than causing a big disruption in N.Y.C., I will be working out of my home in Bedminster, N.J. this weekend. Also saves country money!

Trump met with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Manhattan on Thursday night and stayed at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J., on Thursday. He is expected to stay there through the weekend.

Trump has no major events planned, though he needs to sign the government funding bill passed by both the House and Senate before midnight Friday night to avoid a shutdown.

This is Trump's 23rd trip to one of his golf clubs since becoming president, according to CBS News.

it's no wonder he had all those bankruptcies.

Donald, it is cheaper for you to stay in New York City where we are already paying for your fortress than to incur even more Secret Services and security expenses in New Jersey. But it won't promote your golf club there - SAD.

It's cooler, etc in NJ (and other places you own up north) where golfing season has just recently kicked in. I'm going to bet that, barring impeachment or such, come mid to late Fall you'll be going back to Mar a lago almost every weekend and once again not giving a damn about the extra taxpayers cost or disruption for locals.

The fact is that wherever you go life for those nearby will be disrupted every time you visit, which unfortunately for locals will probably be every weekend since you seem to think you're still working CEO not presidential hours. Another fact is that every place you go to has to be as secured as possible by the Secret Service against spying and potential violence to you or your family. This costs taxpayers money too.

If you really want to save taxpayers money and hassle you'd stay in the friggin WH more weekends like past presidents but you don't honestly care. You care about your brand, making money for you and your family and getting your already huge narcissistic ego stroked.

said, I would be happy if he just stayed on the golf course, and did nothing else.

He is feeding each business by charging you and me for lodging his secret service and feeding them. We are paying for 20 golf carts at inflated rates each time he goes out. He's spreading tax money around to all of his businesses. The money ends up in his pocket. It is the highest use of the word "grifter".
