Why Biden Spends His Weekends Away From The White House
President Biden likes to spend his weekends in Delaware, at his Wilmington home or Rehoboth beach house. Almost anywhere but the
White House, where he says it's "hard to get comfortable."
Sooo... how much do you think a trip to Delaware, EVERY WEEKEND, cost?
Biden spent, MINIMUM, $41,800,000 on going home, every weekend.
In four years, there are typically 208 weekends, which is based on 52 weekends per year. However, if one of those years is a leap
year, there could be an additional weekend, totaling 209 weekends.
President Biden's trips to Delaware have cost taxpayers at least $11 million since he took office, averaging about $200,000 per
round trip. Given that he typically spends weekends there, this translates to APPROXIMATELY $200,000 per weekend.
THAT'S just a typical weekend, NOT counting special trips or excursions.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
