Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price said Thursday that President Donald Trump was “very” clear about his displeasure at Price’s use of private charter planes for official business travel (and the accompanying six-figure price tag).
“He’s talked about it and as he has said publicly, he wasn’t happy. And he expressed that to me very clearly,” Price said on Fox News.
Pressed for more details on how Trump did so, Price declined to clarify beyond “just that way.”
“I won’t divulge any personal conversations that I’ve had with the President, but he wasn’t happy,” he said.
Asked why Price told reporters Trump still had “confidence” in him, Price said, “We continue to work together.”
“I look forward to regaining the trust that the American people, some of the American people, may have lost in the activities that I took, and to not only regain the trust of the American people but gain the trust of the administration and the President,” he said.
Earlier Thursday, Price said he would repay the U.S. Treasury for the cost of his “seat” on a number of charter flights that cost upwards of $400,000—though according to Price, his “seat” only cost $51,887.31.
It was not a “seated” he chartered, he had the whole darn airplane!
“I’ll do the heavy grifting around here, and do-o-on’t you forget it!”
Dotard couldn’t care less. He just felt it embarrassed him. Which is kind of an amazing accomplishment given that he’s genetically incapable of feeling shame or remorse.
Nah he was unhappy u got caught
Let me see, according to Price $51,887.31 = $400,000. Clearly this guy did not do well in his math studies. And obviously, he did even worse in his ethics studies. He claims to be a devout Presbyterian. I think he needs to go back to Sunday school.
And this joker is looking forward “to regaining the trust that the American people.” Fat chance!
