The President charges his own Secret Service to use his golf carts.
The Secret Service also had to move out of their floors in Trump Tower because they couldn’t afford the lease.
THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY DETAIL.
THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROTECT HIM AND HE’S CHARGING THEM AT HIS PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO DO SO.
The Secret Service is almost out of money. Trump spent in one year on travel what Obama spent in eight (not to mention profited off of it). They can’t afford to pay people their people to cover Trump’s huge family as they travel for work and go on vacation every week.
This is corruption.
This is unethical.

This is the entire reason he ran. People laughed at what a shitty businessman he was, but… that’s the thing. He was never a businessman. He has always been a con artist. And this is just the biggest job of them all.
The sole point of the von Clownstick administration is to shovel as much US money as possible into his already-bloated pockets, in exactly the same way that all of those failed businesses shoveled investor money in.
