Grifters gotta grift.

Eric Trump took his Secret Service agents to Trump golf courses in Scotland, as he led transatlantic tours for paying customers. Donald Trump Jr. took his protectors to the Trump hotel in Vancouver, stopping over on hunting trips to Canada.
And Ivanka Trump took her Secret Service detail to the Trump golf club in Bedminster, N.J., again and again — even after she asked other Americans to “please, please” stay home during the coronavirus pandemic.
On trips like these, Secret Service agents were there to protect Trump’s children. But, for the Trump family business, their visits also brought a hidden side benefit.
Money.
That’s because when Trump’s adult children visited Trump properties, Trump’s company charged the Secret Service for agents to come along. The president’s company billed the U.S. government hundreds, or thousands, of dollars for rooms agents used on each trip, as the agency sometimes booked multiple rooms or a multiroom rental cottage on the property.
In this way, Trump’s adult children and their families have caused the U.S. government to spend at least $238,000 at Trump properties so far, according to Secret Service records obtained by The Washington Post.
There is, of course, nothing wrong with having the Secret Service travel with family members to keep them safe.
But when their businesses then charge them the maximum rate for accommodations, that is inherently unethical.
Trump likes to brag that he does not collect a check for being president, but seriously why would he when he can just cart off bags of taxpayer money any time he wants?
Why isn’t Barron in this photo?
Was he sensory overloaded from the noise? He is autistic and wish they would admit it. Not only does he have the parents he has, but he has many other challenges as well.
I M Glad Barron is MIA.
Good for him.

The President has shown little concern about spreading the virus, however, traveling in recent days to speak before crowds of thousands, and has baselessly claimed he is now “immune” to the virus. He has also shown little empathy for others who have fallen ill or have lost family and friends to Covid-19, opting instead to mock those — particularly his rival, Joe Biden — who wear masks and practice social distancing among other CDC and public health guidelines.

I am SOOOOO sick of these people! I can hardly stand to see any picture of them without uttering a groan of disgust.
Early voting starts tomorrow, and I can hardly wait. I do not care how long I have to wait in line. These horrible grifters have got to go.
Ivanka was in NC several weeks ago, and they had to fumigate all the locations she visited after she left. Seems fitting.
“I feel so powerful I’ll walk into that audience, I’ll walk in there. I’ll kiss everyone in that audience. I’ll kiss the guys and the beautiful women, and every mouth, I’ll give you a big fat kiss.”
This was said by a man who tested positive for covid-19 and still might be contagious. Never in my lifetime did I think there would be a person holding the office of President of the United States who would show such disregard and contempt for the people he swore to protect.
Trump and his adult children have shamed and disgraced the highest office in the country.
Plus the fact that he is higher than a kite at these rallies, either they are still giving him steroids and lying about it or he is snorting the adderall again. I never thought we would have president that is a drug addict.
I also wonder why no one has clued him in about the meaning of his latest favorite song, that he bobs and weaves to at this rallies, YMCA. maybe that is the only song that they haven’t been sued for infringement.
heaven forbid those evangelicals find out LOL
nothing wrong with having the Secret Service travel with family members to keep them safe.
==============
they should be paying for their own security, why should we pay for security for their vacations and business trips? Especially when they are raising the prices just for the secret service, heck the price of the rental of the damn golf carts, we the taxpayers could have bought a fleet of them.
I sure hope there is a final accounting of exactly how much the trumps swindled made public.
By the way, where has melanomia disappeared to? kinda makes you wonder if she is really sick since her husband hasn’t mentioned her. Is she at a spa or getting more plastic surgery done.
If Trump is so fabulously wealthy, he should let the Secret Service stay for free.
Literally the least he could do is let them stay at cost. As usual, he can’t even do that.
Wanna Bet that on or about Nov 4-5-6 he summons his old TRUMP jet and flies to Russia…Leaving forever…with his clan.
He will ‘$ELF’ EXCILE

Good Stuff
A video alarm in rhyme.
A warning for our troubled time.
With words Trump said or thought or wrote.
The bottom line – you NEED TO VOTE!
OMG what a weird, ugly family, look like genetic junk
All families have a myth about themselves. The Trumps not only live theirs they breed it.
they all need to be put on trial. starting with crimes against humanity, then for stealing as money they can get their lazy, greedy hands on.
