Anyone here know WHICH hotels Memaie ran up bills at, despite no overnight stay???


During a day trip to Toronto last year, Melania Trump spent about $174,000 in hotel bills, Quartz reported.

Though the First Lady did not spend the night, federal spending records show six separate hotel charges that added up to eight times what it cost to house the team who traveled with her, the news source reported.

Trump’s schedule on Sept. 23, 2017, showed that the trip spanned about 12 hours: She arrived in Toronto around noon, met with Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau around 6:30 p.m., and left just after midnight, Quartz reported.

Earlier this month, Quartz reported that during an October trip to Cairo, the first lady racked up $95,000 in hotel charges. She stayed for six hours and didn’t stay the night then, either, the news agency reports.

I first thought that she had stayed in six different hotels, but now I see that's not it.

Why was she meeting with Trudeau, anyway??

The republicans are squandering our hard-earned tax dollars on luxury frivolities for people who claim to be "billionaires." Modern-day republican 'conservativism' is a total ripoff scam.
