Discussion»Statements»Rosie's Corner» How many "Meals on Wheels" would ONE of Trump's weekly Mar a Lago trips provide? $3 million could go a long way to help old folks. Right?
So how much do you donate to Meals on Wheels? They would not give the money to MoW anyway. And as I have explained the $3mil is based on a comparison of a trip Obama took and it is not an apples to apples comparison.
That $3 million isn't only for protection. It's for airfare and all the expenses attendant thereto when anyone goes on a trip anywhere bh. We protect Melania and Barron in Trump Tower WHILE we are protecting Trump in D.C. or Mar a Lago or wherever the heck he is. This weekend Melania and Barron joined him at Mar a Lago so we have the pleasure of paying for all of them. Then we pay for her and Barron to go back to Trump Tower the Trump to go back to D.C. If he continues to do this weekly after 4 years it will be very expensive. Thank you for your reply! :)
Of course. He sacrificed many of his voters' financially and healthcarewise with his Budget and the Trumpcare drastic reduction/capping of Medicaid. He screwed them and I guess they still love him. Go figger! Thank you for your reply Zack and Happy Sunday! :)
FDR was famous for time spent at his home in Hyde Park, N.Y. They actually printed U.S. postage stamps featuring it! There were no 'Meals on Wheels' in those days.
What does that have to do with my question bh? Did it cost $3 million every weekend? Was his wife/kids living elsewhere or did they join him so that the protecting of the first was not doubled or tripled because they were in different locations? Thank you for your reply! :)
He is saying FDR also travelled alot to one particular place. Also the SS will protect Trump Tower even after the rest of the family moves in this summer. That is how they do it for all presidents.

Doesn't matter. Secret Service protects the White House 24/7, the location of the president, the location of immediate family and the president's personal home... Whether there is anyone staying there or not. There is no such thing as singular location SS.

Well no body told me that there would be math when I joined AM so I'm just going guess and say 795.642, But that would include the cost of the food - storage - packaging and the cost of fuel needed to prepare and deliver the meals (could bring the fuel cost down if they used solar power but that might be too hard for Trump to swallow). Once well looking at the hungry masses Marie-Antoinette said - Let them eat cake. Maybe with these cuts to meals on wheels and school lunch programs Trump will be saying - Let them eat baloney (his words are the baloney). The cuts all boil down to Trumps promise of building a wall that Mexico will pay for - now in a round about way part of the cost will be paid for by America's children and it's poor. Cheers and happy weekend!
I'm a little confused my friend. First of all thank you for your thoughtful and informative answer and for taking my question so seriously. I appreciate it. So are you saying that $3 million would pay for 795 meals or that each meal would cost $795? If the former that means each meal would cost $3,773.58 which seems way expensive OR that it would pay for 3,773 meals? :)
