    His family stole lots of money from the state, right? And they elected his expecting what, exactly?

    Elect the guy, then get mad when he has to use the resources made available to him to live his life while surrounded by security he’s likely not allowed to leave behind. If his motorcade got stuck in traffic, would they blame the traffic jam on him?

    I wish my president went to concerts for music that was released in the last 40 or 50 years… and I know they would take some sort of air transportation to get there. The Secret Service wouldn’t give them a choice.

      Also, the guys family was famous for excessive embezzlement, so I’m not sure what exactly they expected.
