The Donald Trump family has been ripping off the U.S. government ever since he took office. First daughter Ivanka Trump managed to come up with a number of trademarks from China for multiple products, probably including voting machines for some reason. Husband Jared Kushner changed policies to profit his family business, too. It gets worse.
Trump got caught waylaying U.S. Forces en route to the Middle East. He had them refuel at a station he needed to support tourism to his Scottish golf course. More recently, the president charged each Secret Service agent top dollar when they stayed in one of his resorts, $650 and $396 per night.
There was no group discount, no break for the Secret Service since those individuals had to be with him. POTUS even charged $17,000 a month for a cottage housing his Secret Service in Mar-a-Lago. House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff was furious when The Washington Post investigative reporter David Fahrenthold broke the story:
‘Here’s how we know @realdonaldtrump’s company charged taxpayers rates like $650/night or $396/night at Mar a Lago and $17,000/month at Bedminster to house his own Secret Service detail. Receipts.’
Schiff tweeted a highly sarcastic message about “Trump profiting off the presidency:”
‘Want to know how to charge taxpayers $396.15 a night to stay at your place? Simple: Become president. Each new revelation about Trump profiting off the presidency reinforces the case for my bill requiring disclosure of all official expenses at companies owned by Trump.’
