Mr Trump's Scottish businesses are getting direct federal funding from US Taxpayers..

Donald Trump’s flagship Scottish resort received thousands of pounds in US taxpayers’ money to host VIP visits by officials from his administration, an investigation by The Scotsman can reveal. The US president’s resort at Turnberry received more than £5,600 in federal funds to provide accommodation for the trip earlier this year.
According to a source at the South Ayrshire hotel and golf course, the stay was in connection with Mr Trump’s official visit to the UK scheduled for this July, which is expected to include Scotland in the itinerary. The payment, sanctioned last month by the US State Department, represents the first time one of Mr Trump’s Scottish businesses has received direct federal funding from his own government.
The payments to Turnberry, which was last month named Hotel of the Year at the Scottish Hotel Awards, were authorised by the State Department’s bureau of European and Eurasian affairs, which is responsible for developing and implementing US foreign policy. The money was subsequently awarded to Mr Trump’s firm via the American Embassy in London.

1. A nightmare of corruption.

Enough is enough.

2. Does the "Tea Party" even exist any more?

Aren't they all about wasteful spending of taxpayer money?

Or is that only when a Democrat is president?

4. They changed headgear to red MAGA caps...

And no, they were never "against wasteful spending of taxpayer money" if one goes by their actions instead of their slogans.

As for "only when a Democrat is president"? Well, it includes that, but more like any Democratic initiative whatsoever. And they turn on Republicans when Sean and his pals tell them to.
