A U.S. Army regiment held its annual ball last night at the Trump Hotel DC— so soldiers were potentially sending money up the chain of command. And pics of them in dress uniform in front of the hotel's logo made it to social media.

Commander-in-chief’s hotel hosted The Old Guard’s fourth battalion’s ball

The Army’s 3rd U.S. infantry regiment’s fourth battalion held its annual ball last night at commander-in-chief Donald Trump’s D.C. hotel.

“There were no government funds spent, no appropriated funds spent on this,” said Maj. Stephen Von Jett, director of communications for the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment. “It was funded through ticket sales and fundraisers that some of the soldiers did internally, down at the company level.”

The 356 tickets that were sold to the event cost $80 each and came with a free beer voucher, per the event’s invite. Soldiers attending ranged from battalion commander LTC Jeffery Burroughs though the most junior members, Von Jett said. President Trump, of course, still owns the hotel and can profit from it—meaning money from soldiers in the U.S. Army could have gone right to the top of the military’s chain of command.

2. Do not forget that the true cowardly bad actor is the GSA.
