    And how many trips since then.

    All moot though because as usual his supporters will just ignore the facts.

    Heh...something to excite the rubes who have a bee in their bonnet for impeaching the best President of the United States since Ronald Maximus:

    ^I very much question the $0.00 amount, and believe he later backed off of it. Mine certainly isn't free.

    Reckon former gov employees are special privileged folks deserving special rules.

    Why? Just askin...

    ^Don't know the answer. I know that if one is retired military, there are a staggering amount of restrictions and requirements to get treated. I am not retired military. I selected a USG health plan 28 years before I retired from the USG. I almost never, possibly never, used it until after retirement. Once I retired, got married and had kids, I researched how it worked. It's quite easy to forget you're paying for it, as the payments are deducted from your retirement pay before they cut the check. Like all insurance plans, you generally pay far more monthly than you get reimbursed for unless serious illness strikes....then it starts being well worth having.

    The same hippy went to work for Ford for 30 years and retired. His wife then got cancer and insurance would not cover all the costs, so he took out a home loan to cover her medical costs. The bills kept mounting and his home was repossessed. Now he simply does not have the funds to cover his wife treatment even though she is now in remission. Oh yeah you gotta love that shit...

    you're thinking of individual one, a.k.a. baldy orange cunto who got a total of 5 deferments from serving in vietnam.

    and then there's this...

    "You know, if you're young, and in this era, and if you have any guilt about not having gone to Vietnam. We have our own Vietnam. It's called the dating game."
    "Dating is like being in Vietnam," Trump said. "You're the equivalent of a soldier going over to Vietnam."
    "It is a dangerous world out there — it's scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier."

    Maybe its his humility that they hate.

    Trump quotes:
    "I'm also honored to have the greatest temperament that anybody has." —November 3, 2016




    "I alone can fix it." —in his self-aggrandizing acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, July 21, 2016


    "I think I am, actually humble. I think I'm much more humble than you would understand." —"60 Minutes" interview, July 17, 2016


    "The beauty of me is that I'm very rich."


    "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created." —announcing his campaign for president


    "All of the women on 'The Apprentice' flirted with me—consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected."


    "Let me tell you, I'm a really smart guy." —on his intelligence


    "Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure. It's not your fault."

    Maybe its his intelligence?

    More Stupid quotes:

    "[Vladimir Putin] is not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand. He’s not gonna go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down." —apparently unaware that Russia had already annexed Crimea in a 2014 intrusion into Ukraine that left thousands dead, July 31, 2016


    “I’m speaking with myself, number one, because I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things." —when asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” whom he talks with consistently about foreign policy, March 16, 2016

    Maybe because he's a tax (as well as draft) dodger?

    "That makes me smart." —responding to Hillary Clinton’s suggestion that he pays no federal income tax, Sept. 26, 2016


    "I'm not a schmuck. Even if the world goes to hell in a handbasket, I won't lose a penny."


    "I sort of hope that happens because then people like me would go in and buy. If there is a bubble burst, as they call it, you know you could make a lot of money." —in a 2006 audiobook produced by Trump University, expressing excitement two years before a housing-market collapse brought down the U.S. economy

    Maybe its his Double Standards
    "I don't care. It's a long time ago. And he voted that way and they were also misled. A lot of information was given to people…" —forgiving his running mate, Mike Pence, for voting in favor of the Iraq war, saying he was "entitled to make a make mistake," but adding that Hillary Clinton isn't, "60 Minutes" interview, July 17, 2016

    Maybe its his totally unfounded accusations?

    "I’ve been treated very unfairly by this judge. Now, this judge is of Mexican heritage. I'm building a wall, OK? I'm building a wall." —accusing U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the fraud case against Trump University, of being biased against him because of his Mexican heritage, despite the fact that he is a U.S. citizen who was born in Indiana, CNN interview, June 5, 2016


    "How about bringing baskets of money into Iraq? I want to know—who were the soldiers who had that job? I want to know who were the soldiers that had that job, ’cause I think they’re living well right now, whoever they may be." —Donald Trump, apparently accusing U.S. soldiers in Iraq of grand larceny, June 14, 2016


    "His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being—you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it." —suggesting that Ted Cruz's father may have been involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Fox News interview, May 3, 2016


    "There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey, where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down." —making an unfounded accusation regarding the 9/11 attacks

    Maybe its just his lies?

    "I might lie to you like Hillary does all the time, but I'll never lie to Giacomo, okay?" —admitting to lying to voters while speaking at a rally in Connecticut but saying he would not lie to an 18-year-old cancer patient in the audience, Giacomo Brancado, August 13, 2016


    "From a moral standpoint, I believe in it. But you also have to get elected. And there’s no way a Republican is going to beat a Democrat when the Republican is saying, 'We’re going to cut your Social Security’ and the Democrat is saying, ‘We’re going to keep it and give you more." —privately explaining to House Speaker Paul Ryan that he supports cutting Social Security even though he says the opposite on the campaign trail (Bloomberg Businessweek, May 26, 2016)


    "These are stupid people that say, 'Oh didn't Trump declare bankruptcy? Didn't he go bankrupt?' I didn't go bankrupt." —Donald Trump, on filing for bankruptcy on parts of his various businesses


    "Yeah, I guess so." —when asked if he supported the Iraq war, despite the fact that he now claims he opposed it, interview with Howard Stern, Sept. 11, 2002


    “Actually, I was only kidding. You can get that baby out of here. Don’t worry, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking. That’s OK People don’t understand. That’s OK." —booting a mother and her crying baby from a rally moments after saying "I love babies," August 2, 2016


    "I've seen numbers of 24 percent—I actually saw a number of 42 percent unemployment. Forty-two percent. 5.3 percent unemployment—that is the biggest joke there is in this country.…The unemployment rate is probably 20 percent, but I will tell you, you have some great economists that will tell you it's a 30, 32. And the highest I've heard so far is 42 percent." —vastly overstating the unemployment rate in a claim rated false by Politifact, Sept. 28, 2015

    Maybe its all the sacrifices that he's made?

    "I think I've made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard." —rejecting the assertion made at the Democratic convention by Muslim lawyer Khizr Khan, whose son died in Iraq in 2004, that Trump had "sacrificed nothing and no one." Trump was unable to name a single sacrifice when pressed to elaborate, ABC News interview, July 30, 2016.
