During a stop in Charlotte, North Carolina on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump reportedly bragged that he was traveling to political events for free. He also referenced his nearby golf course.

“It's like a political event and you don't even have to pay for it,” Trump said, according to multiple reporters in attendance and a live stream of the event.

Trump hosted a rally the night before in Evansville, Indiana.

While it may be free for Trump, taxpayers do foot the bill for the campaign-style rallies that he often hosts across the country. The same is true for when he travels to political events for other candidates or to one of his golf courses.

1. I thought that if the trip is to a political event, the GOP picked up the tab for their part of the

trip. I seem to recall the Repubs tried to accuse Obama of flying free of charge, but Obama showed that the Democrats or his reelection account was paying the tab for that portion.

Is my memory shot?

2. We're also gonna pay for your jail cell

but we will own everything you have not in the red.

Which won't be much, but at least Russia won't get her installment checks anymore.

Rump can eat the rats he finds in prison to save taxpayers money. He'll be the King Rat of Leavenworth.
