>I already explained it to you several times. Obama is making sure the cuts due to the sequester are as painful and as visible to the public as possible. He's saving the jobs of Secret Service workers. And this is one cut of many. 750,000 jobs could be lost. I care much more about that. >Trump called him on his bluff, and like clockwork, you accuse Trump of playing politics. >It shouldn't matter where the money for the tours comes from, but yet it does because of one reason: It's all political. You said it yourself. It's more important to deny Trump a "seat at the table" (which is silly outside of a political context) than it is to keep the White House tours going. Yeah it does. Conservatives everywhere cheered when Rudy Giuliani turned down money from a Saudi prince in 2001. articles.cnn.com Beware assholes bearing gifts. It does matter where the money comes from. Trump picked White House tours because the Republicans were harping on them to make a point. He's not trying to feed people, or employ people, or anything else. He picked the most trivial damn thing he could've picked. -Z
