Taxpayers shelled out another $3.4 million to send President Donald Trump to Florida this weekend so he could host a Super Bowl party for paying guests at his for-profit golf course.
The president’s official schedule shows him spending two and a half hours Sunday evening at a “Super Bowl LIV watch party” at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Tickets sold for $75 each, but were only available to members of the club — the initiation fee for which reportedly runs about $450,000, with annual dues costing several thousands of dollars more.
“Well, obviously there are no TVs in the White House, so what alternative did he have?” quipped Robert Weissman, president of the liberal group Public Citizen. “He could have saved money by chartering a plane and flying club members to watch the game at the White House.
In any event, money spent at Trump hotels and golf courses flows directly to the president, as he is the sole beneficiary of a trust that now owns his family business. U.S. taxpayers have been the source of at least a few million dollars that have gone to the Trump Organization in the form of hotel rooms, meals and other expenses for Secret Service agents and other government employees who have stayed on-site with Trump in Florida, New Jersey, Scotland and Ireland.
“When Donald Trump announced that he would break decades of precedent and hold onto his business, many were afraid it was to find ways to keep making money on the side of his work as president,” said Jordan Libowitz with the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. “Turns out the presidency is more like a thing he does on the side to help make money for his business.”

Apologies... Not an American...

What was Trump supposed to have done when he became president? Concerning his business?

Previous presidents have t***sferred their businesses to blind trusts to avoid conflict of interests.

Turned everything over to a blind trust as every other president in modern time has. This allows him to maintain his wealth but makes it difficult to make policy decisions that line his pockets at our expense.

At your expense.....I like that.

Just as these wetbacks you allow...no, promote to come over here to live on my expense.

Eat it, I hope he costs you a lot more for the next 4.

I thought he did turn it over to a trust?

Confused now?

He "turned it over" to his son, definitely NOT a blind trust.

Where's the part about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton and their millions? Let alone the tortured and k**led Americans at Ben Ghazi. Let's hear if for the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's brother and daughter. Also, of course, her uranium deal.

Then take a slide back down memory lane to Pelosi and her earlier insistence on a bigger, more expensive to operate private luxury plane to carry her and her partying friends from Washington to Ca.

You l*****ts reek of envy! Trump stepped away from his business and his sons and daughters now run them. It's not like Trump had a few investments or a law office. Duh.

Put it in a Blind Trust just like everyone else. Dammit it drives me nuts with you GD people Obama makes money off a book after he leaves the White House and these filthy d********g Southern r****t and hypocritical Evangelicals scream like children this guy makes millions on a GD weekend at his golf resort. WTF is it with you people are you really that out of touch and lacking any kind of common sense.

Only a complete i***t would believe the senate held a ligit trial with no witnesses no documents no emails no testimony. Would not even allow Trumps Attorney’s to cross examine the witnesses in the House inquiry, that surprised me after the Trump band of criminals labeled them as liars. Now you had to opportunity to prove it. That is called a coverup but this country has to many filthy d********g uneducated southern r****t that still have the civil war in there DNA. And Trump opened up the southern swamps and allowed these d********g people to enter into our society.
