Something to think about

I dont dispute that tax dollars are spent to provide him adequate security and amenities to govern remotely. The government chooses to spend that money. His golfing does not cost millions.

Yes it does. Funny how Trump said he would be too busy to play golf as President when he was attacking Obama. Can't wait for those comments to come about.
 
So how does this work? Only the Democrats in the House will be getting a raise, not the Republicans..

Damn, if I was a GOP member of the House I think I's be pretty PO'ed.

Here is something to think about, especially in Nov. President Trump donated part of his pay to fight the china virus. Pelosi and her goons want a pay raise.

President Trump donated part of his pay

Very impressive that a BILLIONAIRE donated part of his pay ?

The bill passed unanimously - that is an automatic veto override. Think before you drink - even if it's KoolAid.

He still could have vetoed the bill just to state his stance. But from all accounts, he supported the bill

So let me get this straight. Trump forgoes the presidential pay or sends it charity. However, he has spent more govenrment money on personal golfing trips, etc and his resorts have gained more money but what is really important to YOU is he hasn't asked for a raise. :lamo

Why should he has for a raise on $400,000 when he spends millions for golfing and trips? Yes, you were duped. :lamo

Can you tell me how his golfing costs "extra"? Do the Secret Service people get extra money on a golf course?
 
Remember when Republicans and their masters on Fox use to scream and spew hate at Obama for his golf trips..

But now of course they don't care, and some even DEFEND Trump's trips and the fact he's not only using MILLIONS of tax payers money on his trips, but much of that money goes to HIS golf resorts.

What a bunch of hypocrites Trumpsters are.

In theory yes, but in practice it would be seen for what it is - simply time wasting.

So in a way, he's is part of the good ole boy club?

Yes he does, his veto can just be over written. He can still veto. You are excusing trump poor actions and personal responsibility.

He did more than that by using signing statements - those don't offer congress any immediate recourse.
