    Default We are paying Trump to play golf even when he isn’t playing golf

    “Trump's Bedminster golf club charged taxpayers $1.1M for Secret Service even while closed during pandemic“

    “President Trump's luxury properties have charged the U.S. government more than $1.1 million since he took office – billing taxpayers for room rentals at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club this spring while it was closed due to coronavirus, a new document show.“

    “Trump, himself, never visited the club while it was closed”

    “The Bedminster property charged the Secret Service $17,000 a month to rent a three-bedroom cottage near Trump's own villa. The rate -- which comes to about $567 a night -- is unusually high, according to a scan of similar real estate listings in the area. Last year, Trump's son Eric Trump told Yahoo Finance that the Trump Organization was charging the government nominal fees -- "like 50 bucks" per room.“

    “The Secret Service paid to stay in Bedminster for more than 200 days when Trump was not even on the property. A similar trend took place at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida.”

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...lub-was-closed

    And that million only includes New Jersey, not his golf junkets to Florida. Trump is personally profiting hand over fist at taxpayers expense being President

    But, but, but he donates his salary

    So trump is not paying rent to the government, but is demanding rent from the government? Not very honest.

    He’s cleaning up, just like with his taxes, in MAGA, as he said, him getting over “shows I’m smart”

    We're also paying Jimmy Carter and Hussein Obama for doing absolutely nothing.

    Ah, we pay ever living past President, just like we pay Trump a salary, but those Presidents when they were President didn’t looked to make a buck, to personally profit off of, being President, all at the expense of the American taxpayer

    And I told you, the personal crapola only makes you look small, as if anonymous vehicle gave you an outlet for a Napoleon complex

    I directly responded to your callenged and nothing changes what said, we pay them for doing nothing. Each one of them is making a profit at the expense of the American taxpayer.

    Ah, no, we are paying a benefit every past President receives, and last I knew, the American taxpayer isn’t suppose to pay the acting
    President to play golf, especially paying him when he isn’t playing golf

    And all the derogatory terms you can come up still won’t make you correct

    And trump will receive that benefit whenever he leaves office and you will pay for it til you die. As much as I hate the idea of paying any of them I take joy knowing you will be paying for trump.

    Oh, well, just in case he DECIDES to play at one of those places on any particular day...

    Good thing for the Trump Organization he can force this business to take place. Other than that, they are not doing very well.

    Trump tends to overspend on his properties and then rents don't keep up with what he needs to pay the loans.

    His Scottish properties are losing money big time.

    So is the one in Miami.

    Except Trump isn't taking the paychecks. He's giving them back to the Treasury...
