I don't care if it is outsourced. If Donald wants to go golfing at his golf courses every week he should buy a couple golf carts for secret service and himself. If my neighbor can buy one Donald can.
True enough, but if you buy them, you have to maintain them, including having some place to store them, someone to make sure the tires are up and the batteries charged, etc.
When you need something now, sometimes it is cheaper to rent it than own it. It depends on how often you use it. But tag the taxpayer for the tab for that, and there will be howling, too.
Note that this company has been renting golf carts to the Government since 2014, and you will see the practice isn't new.
Its disgusting to me that he has to go here and there every weekend. Costing more than the 17 thou for the carts. They are only a tiny portion of the money he spends every weekend.
Most of us don't go flitting around the country. However, billionaires and millionaires are somewhat notorious for living differently than most of us. Some here will look at 17K as enough money to pay the bills for a few months, for a billionaire, it is pocket change. When was the last time we elected someone who 'got by' on less than a six figure salary (inflation corrected to 2017 dollars)?
While not being a fan of Trump, at least he isn't living significantly differently than he would have had he not been elected, unlike the previous golfer in the White House.
