Your tax dollars at work

Trump Org charged Secret Service $1.4M to stay at his properties during his time on the playground. The Trump Organization on some occasions charged the Secret Service more than five times the government rate to stay at Donald Trump-owned properties while the agency was protecting him and his family, according to documents obtained by Congress.

Now, why don't I see bumper stickers all over the place for that accomplishment?

Why was he taking his security staff to his own businesses anyway? Isn't that conflict of interest even at regular rates?

@NerdyPotato What was he supposed to do, take his numerous vacation at locations where he didn't profit from them?

@OggggO it's a rather unconventional concept for a con man to pass an opportunity to make money, but yes, that would have worked for a president. 😁

@NerdyPotato It is. In fact, it's been deemed unconstitutional from right back into Washington's days in office, but these days we don't decide and act; we discuss.
