Officials at President Trump’s company maintain that Trump and the firm do not profit when government officials stay at their properties.

“They stay at our properties for free — meaning, like, cost for housekeeping,” Eric Trump, who runs his father’s company day-to-day, said last year in an interview with Yahoo Finance. He estimated the charge per room was “50 bucks.”

The company also issued a statement to The Post saying: “We charge the U.S. Government simple cost and make zero profit.” It did not explain how it calculates those costs.

The Secret Service did not respond to questions about the letter Wednesday morning.

The Post identified $471,000 worth of payments from the Secret Service to Trump’s company, but — because so little data is available — the actual number is probably higher. The payments are not listed in a public spending database, as is usually required for payments above $10,000. Instead, The Post pieced them together using documents from public records requests — but most of the available documents date back to 2017 or 2018.

In interviews, hotel experts said the sums charged — even the lower $396.15 nightly rate at Mar-a-Lago in 2018 — that the Trump Organization is probably profiting off the stays.

 

Was there ever any doubt he's milking the government teat for every drop he can?

An unsecured iPhone, a Sharpie, some printed out tweet of an "enemy" he has to respond to, and a written list of nicknames.

And a blank piece of paper that has been:

A very lovely letter

A list of whistleblower names given to him by his Generals

A transcript of a perfect phone call

Honestly y’all should be happy he’s such a shitty person. If he wasn’t it would be a slam dunk re election with the Supreme Court completely dominated for a generation. At least now he’s having to fight for it. 

 

 

 

Yeah we will just continue the trend of Pubs fueling the fire of the economy in the short term through deregulation and tax cuts, so when a Dem takes office he inherits a banking/auto/RE/budget crisis.  Then you can come back bemoaning fiscal responsibility.

We hate him BECAUSE he's a shitty person. If he wasnt such a shitty person there wouldn't be this much resistance and him getting reelected would be tolerable.

The only people that enjoy the fact that Trump is a shitty person are the people that vote for him.

I looked up the account for that meme. That guy has a twitter and a YouTube channel but I'm guessing(?) he has a day job and making GOP memes is a hobby? Such a weird world we live in. Everything is topsy turvy and upside down. Being kind to others and thinking of more than oneself is not admired, it is ridiculed. Two old racist rich white guys fighting. Geez, put them in a boxing ring and sell tickets like they did for the gladiator fights or something.

Only event I see on the calendar today is a meeting with the Governor of NY, Cuomo. Trump is going to relish this, I'm sure. Not that he ever abuses the power of his office or anything. He has 'perfect' power.

If he wasn't a shitty person, he wouldn't be who he is, and you wouldn't have voted for him in the first place. All he is, is shitty. He is nothing more than coifed, fake tan shitty in a bad fitting suit. If he wasn't shitty he wouldn't even exist. If shittiness disappeared from the world today, every person on Earth would become a better person. dOTarD would simply cease to exist. Every action, word, tweet, policy that emanates from him is based on the fact that he is shitty.

That is why you like him.

I call bs.  If any of you gave a damn about how shitty he is, there would be more people on the right that at some time or another would've wanted to get rid of Trump in favor of any other Republican that would give you the same tax cuts, de-regulation, judges, and abortion whatever.  You either like the shittiness or you know you're beholden to his cult, or both.

Personally, I find swamps to be fascinating environments. The largest swamp in the US is the Atchafalaya Swamp. Unique plants and animals, bugs and birds all live in the swamp. How sad that our President has no curiousity and wonder whatsoever. How sad that school children who learn about our Presidents will have Mr. Trump as an example of a brain dead leader obsessed with money and revenge.

The children will learn about most glorious Trump dynasty in our future Christian Public Schools.

This is the play.  It's the ultimate grift and they figured it out a long time ago.  They know the odds of a party staying in power in the executive more than 2 consecutive terms is highly unlikely and economic effects take about that long to take hold.  It's a great con.  Pass legislation that lines your pockets and will tank the economy by the time a Dem takes over so you can blame them and get back in power.  Rinse, repeat.

Exactly. The people chanting “Lock Her Up!” And “Send Them Back” and laughing about shooting immigrants love that he is the absolute piece of shit he’s always been. Shit, they fell in love with him because of birtherism.

Trump got them thugs. 

Bloomberg can keep his uppity negros. All the ones he doesn't lock up, anyway.

Imagine this man coming upon President Trump rocking back and forth on his feet, hands in his pockets whistling Zippity Doo Dah. 

"Mr President, sir--" the tough, strong man is overcome with emotion. For the first time in his manly life, he weeps.

Trump halts Miller from setting the German Shepherds on this weeping burly guy. "Let this one live." Grudgingly, Miller restrains the snarling canines, but quietly signals that the fire hoses be readied.

Our manly man can, at last, speak. 

"I love what you've done for America! God bless you. (Sniff) I've never been employed at such a high percentage. May I hug you?"

A silent signal from Trump to Miller sees the weeping man carried away with remarkable speed by twin blasts from firehoses.

"Of course." Replies the president who, amused, puts his hands back in his pockets and begins whistling Dixie and rocking back and forth on his feet.

Here's a beauty that is being circulated by some of my evangelical friends from back home in the midwest.  Try to get all the way through it without vomiting.  It's the most Machiavellian thing I've read in years, and it outlines all of the reasons why the right wing supports Trump -- abortion, non-Christian immigrants, judges, etc.

Why Christians support a man who exhibits no Christian characteristics

Like many, I’m perplexed by the divide in the Christian community over President Trump — but I’m not surprised. The media is fueling lies, and the world is listening. This was demonstrated in a worship song by Daniel Deitrich (talk about the wrong place to express political views). Deitrich’s song was written in response to the 81% of white evangelical Protestant voters who supported Donald Trump in 2016. Here are the lyrics: They started putting kids in cages. Ripping mothers from their babies. And I looked to you to speak on their behalf.

This, of course, is in response to what is “perceived” as happening at the border. I assume that Mr. Deitrich is sincere and his heart truly wants to help people, but we must get our facts from reputable sources or first-hand experience. God willing, I’m touring the border with other California pastors very soon and hope to gain that perspective personally (look for that op-ed in mid-February).

Some say, “How can you follow Jesus and Donald Trump?” We are not following a man, we are shaping a movement. A better question to be asking, though, is What direction is the country heading? If a leader lacks Christian character but is pointing the nation back to God, is that a bad thing? If they are minimizing murdering babies and maximizing godly values, is that a bad thing? If they are being a terror to terrorists and making America secure, is that a bad thing? If they are honoring hard work and minimizing free handouts, is that a bad thing? God doesn’t judge a nation based on the character of one man; He judges it based on the spiritual health of her people. Never forget that. 

I regularly say that we Christians love refugees and immigrants and are eager to help with food, lodging, and jobs. But at the national level, the president is to put the safety and provision of the American people first. When an airplane loses cabin pressure, parents put on their oxygen masks first to better assist their child. This isn’t selfishness; it’s wisdom. Opening the borders parallels cabin pressure falling and a limited supply of masks. Our law enforcement officers could not sustain the load, nor could our nation. Let’s streamline the process and welcome God-fearing immigrants and have them contribute to society so everyone benefits. The truth is, kids are not being put in cages and ripped from their mothers, as the song accuses. 

The majority of news outlets spin everything (yes, everything) to put President Trump in a bad light. Their hatred for him trumps the truth. Their agenda is simple and clear: remove him from office at any cost! And I hope you realize this: they are really coming after you, me, and our Christian values.

The push toward open borders is more about votes than truly helping people. Open borders would be like me telling my kids to leave their windows open in case a stranger needs a warm night’s sleep. That would be severe parental neglect because many harmful things could also enter through those open windows. Open borders would parallel that type of irresponsibility. Additionally, our financial system cannot support people flooding in who need assistance. How is that using wisdom? It’s not a matter of if this type of financial irresponsibility causes damage but when and how much. Our California representatives in Sacramento need to wake up to this fact—and wake up quickly. There is a better way, but our leaders must repent and seek God for wisdom.

Most critics don’t care what the facts are. Their hatred for the president overshadows their desperate need for humility. Let this sink in: innocent children are being protected, godly counsel is surrounding President Trump, terror is being restrained, good judges are being selected, socialism is being resisted, families are being encouraged via employment (black employment is at an all-time high), prayer is being brought back in schools, God’s wisdom is being sought, and on and on it goes. So again, we are not following a man, we are revitalizing a movement — a movement back to God. I’m more concerned with our nation’s national character than I am with the president's personal character.

An analogy that I often use will bring this point home. The head of a neighborhood watch program, who took the late-night watches, had previously had an affair. He was occasionally gruff and impulsive, and sometimes his words were crass and offensive, but he watched over the neighborhood diligently each night. Each week he invited church leaders into his home to pray for him and his family and to seek their advice. He often stood against others on the committee who wanted to enact policies harmful to the neighborhood and to the children, such as advocating an open-door policy where residents were required to allow anyone into their homes at all hours of the day for handouts. 

Is this not the kind of person you would want leading your neighborhood watch? Does his past or his demeanor matter more than the results he is accomplishing? If you are intellectually honest, the answer is not difficult. In the same way, the answer is simple for America. Again, we are not voting for people based on how godly they are; we are voting for the future direction of America: the right to life, the elevation of God’s Word back to its proper place, the appointment of conservative judges, securing America and her borders, creating jobs, and improving the quality of life for all Americans.

As a personal observation, I have noticed that those who oppose president Trump typically embrace liberal theology. It makes one wonder what is truly leading them: worldly mandates or biblical principles.

I will close with what I stated in a brief op-ed: we can’t have our cake and eat it too — there is no middle ground for Christians today. You can choose a president who will wear a Planned Parenthood scarf at her inauguration or one of the countless others who would seek to destroy the America we know and lead us down the primrose path of socialism — or worse. Or you can choose to back President Trump. There is no Plan B.

Reminds me of a guy I saw outside the White House last year wearing a shirt that said, "Make America Christian Again"...forgetting of course that it never was a Christian nation.  

And WE'RE the ones who don't care about facts?   Um, ok

So  Trump and Trump's base (Republicans) no longer respect Army Generals, the Military, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, the DOJ or civil servants. They worship Trump and the Flag. Everybody else can go fuck themselves. 

In about a year your post above will be a redundant statement.  Americans are about to have to embrace what it's like to have no voice, limited representation and a complete lack of trust in democracy.  Duterte.  Erdogan.  Putin.  Xi.  That's where we're headed.  Half of the country is trying to comprehend how an entire party can just shrug and turn a blind eye to the insane amount of shit that has transpired in the last three years.  Foregone conclusions in our elections is probably why.

You know that bit about the flag?  It's off the list as soon as Trump tells them it is.  Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see him redesign the thing.
