Presidents going to big sporting events is old, old news.
White House Archives, presidents throwing out first pitch of baseball seasons:

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Sports Illustrated did a special John F. Kennedy edition, chock full of sporting events he attended . . . throwing out the first pitch, coin tosses, etc.
As a Navy alum, the annual Army-Navy football classic was a must attend occasion for him.

John F. Kennedy and Sports

The National Archives is expected to release a final batch of records related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Thursday. With that in mind, we look back at the history of JFK and sports.

It is the emoluments clause!

It costs a fortune to secure an ocean front golf course. Then it is his so all that extra security lines his pockets.

Was the coast guard involved when any other past president played golf?

He picks places to go that are his so his so it lines his pockets.

The past presidents used golf courses close and easy to secure therefore cheaper.

Past presidents used camp David for down time because it is designed for it. Has he been there?

But, the costs of securing the Kennedy compound on Martha's Vinyard and the Kenndy sailboat outings were OK.

Different rules I guess, based on party affiliations.

Sad to say it was before my birth so I can't tell ya how many times. He was only in office 22 months and a couple weeks.

Considering he was in office just short of two years it could not have been that many.



In 2019 trump spent 117 days at one of his properties.

I could look it up but I don't think he spent 117 days on a boat.

Trump won't even release the expenditures that were spent for his travel and protection till after the election. I wonder why that is? Save 400k on salary (Kennedy did the same) but pay 10's of millions to his properties.

Is there someone on this forum who was of adult age during the Kennedy admin who you are accusing of not caring, but now just 60 years later are raising a big fuss over Trump doing the exact same thing?

I just don't understand the implied accusation of hypocrisy.

I mean, my great great great grandfather probably owned slaves, but here i sit today all high and mighty opposed to slavery. What a hypocrite i am.

I disagree. I wouldn't trust a second-hand quote from Newsweek if it came from the Pope himself.
But, that's me.

Your personal feelings about Newsweek notwithstanding, the relevant point to the topic is that the data in the Fox News screenshot was accurate, as was the Newsweek article, both confirmed by the dpa-international article, all of which show that Donald Trump's reputation in Germany continues to be so bad that 41% of Germans polled considered him the greatest threat to world peace, substantially more so than Kim Jong Un, Ali Khamenei, Putin, and Xi Jinping.

I was as kid. I was also a kid when the CV exact same issues were raised about the LBJ Ranch.

I was not a kid when the exact same Issues were raised about the G.W. Bush compound in Maine, Carter's returns to Plains, GA, Reagan's ranch.

What I'm attempting to do is share and impart to the reader that this is a standard, cyclical subject brought up about every president at one time or another, mostly by the press and the opposing party.

For those who have only known one or two presidents thusfar, I suppose it can seem like this business of footing the bill for presidential security at private locations and public events can be made to seem like something the current president is doing wrong.

I am here as a witness to tell you it's a standard thing that is done with every president by his detractors and opponents.

Say, did you read about the huge new compound Obama just bought? Martha's Vinyard just like JFK. Very expensive. Very swanky. And we have to pay for the security detail.

See?

Did any of them spend 117 out of 365 at any of them?

Old trumpito has done that exact number twice.

52.4 weekends per year = 104.8 days not counting Federal Holidays, government mandated personal leave time and vacation

It's a standard tactic for political opponents to make hay out of the president's time off, even though with today's technology, he's never really away from the job.

I ignored it when it was brought up about Obama and Bush before him and Clinton before him, ad infinitum, and I will continue to shrug and say, "So?"

I gotta give you credit for coming up excuse after excuse.

You are exceptional at it.

In your life have you ever vacationed every forking weekend of your life and some more!

It is ok.

He can call air strikes right next to people paying his business!

You can use the dog ate my homework next cuz we all know whatever you type will be just about as pathetic.
