From a recent column in the Washington Post regarding the "Trump Industry" making money off of the government while in a government position, the claims of security costs (having the Secret Service keep IQ45 safe) are questioned.
"In response to questions from The Post about the Secret Service payments, Eric Trump has said the company charges the Secret Service at cost but declined to provide more details. The rate charged to the Secret Service at Mar-a-Lago was more than double what the club charged another government customer, a visiting official from the Department of Veterans Affairs, according to VA records.
If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free meaning, like, cost for housekeeping, said Eric Trump, the companys executive vice president. Later in the interview, he said, We charge them, like, 50 bucks.
The Post has not yet found any instance where a Trump property charged the Secret Service $50 per night for a room or any rate under $100 per night.
Really, how can Congress stand by and let this rape of America continue?

(10,052 posts)It is not that we are not outraged, we are outraged at everything he does, you cannot keep screaming, it seems there is only one way out and that is to vote blue for all levels of government. The rage is at the ballot box. I would love to see them go to jail for every crime committed but it would likely mean 10 years in the courts. However lets make sure along with the Trump family, every fucking asshole that assisted by allowing him to continue, see the inside of a prison as well or lose their livelihood and standing within any community. Remember the best revenge is served cold, so save the outrage.
