8. Disgusting...

9. So glad we can afford this

Cutting 7000 medical providers from the VA is paying off in $Millions available for contracts to Trump's buddies. Maybe the could just cut off the "sucker's and losers" completely. Just imagine how Great America will be if we can funnel those billions to dear leader.


Seriously though, please can we just get one well placed lighting bolt to put an end to the stupidity?

He acts like he's going to be staying forever. He certainly doesn't plan to do any actual work! Do they have a putting green yet?

[Retrograde]

14. Who's paying for this?

Was this in the Big Bloated Budget as a line item? Or does it come out of the normal maintenance budget for the White House?
