I'm not fan of the guy by any measure, but how is this any different than the government paying to make any president's existing properties places where a president and his massive entourage can stay? It's been done by every president I can remember aside from maybe Clinton because I don't remember him having any significant places.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoBecause of this part: > billing the government
- afavour 3y agoIt's different because other presidents didn't then bill the government for the entourage to stay on a per-night basis for each stay. An added bonus for Trump was that his properties were also accessible to the public, so he got to make extra $$$ from people who wanted to stay close to where the President was. No previous president had that kind of an arrangement.
- skhunted 3y agoWhat other President profited from government employees being forced to rent rooms at his hotels? You really have to be deep in the cult to not see a problem with this.

- LastTrain 3y agoI'm not following. Do you think Obama and Bush were charging rent to the government for their personal residences or something? What other Presidents owned business entities that billed the government for services? It is mind boggling that the ethics of this need to be explained.
