It is normal for a President to own a hotel chain. I didn't realize he's breaking some long-standing rule with that. Just because no previous President happened to own a hotel chain doesn't make it abnormal.
The holiday thing is something to complain over.
But...
Since the original statement of the Secret Service paying for property they make use of has absolutely nothing to do with either of your questions, I believe you are a bit misguided.
It is completely normal for the Secret Service to pay for usage of property and/or services during their duty. It has been in place for some time and payments have been made to numerous persons of both parties for years.
- sli 9y agoThe complaint is not about the Secret Service paying for what they use. Of course they have to pay to stay in a hotel room. The complaint is that money is going into Trump's bank account. It directly benefits him financially to go on vacations as often as possible when he stays at his own resorts, because he makes a cut off the tax dollars used to pay for his vacations.
- talmand 9y agoAgain, this is a long-standing protocol that many people over the years have benefited from within both parties. It is nothing new. People complaining about it today should be willing to condemn every single one of those that benefited from it. Of which, I never hear anyone doing that.
