Trump's Sons Heading To Dubai As Business Interests Continue To Expand Overseas

[The Irish Ram]

Speaking of ties to Russia. I'll bet you're thrilled Hillary wasn't elected then. Putin gave her over 8 million for 20% of our uranium. Glad we busted up that love affair.

 

[Spare_change]

Are you kidding? Obama spent 85 million taxpayer dollars for his family to flit around the globe. Let us know when Trump exceeds that, because since you didn't bitch about the 85 million, that amount must be ok with you.

Yep 85 million over 8 years. Trump has already spent about 12 million on trips to his place in Florida. Add the 35 million per month for extra security for his wife to live in New York, and at least 100,000 for each time one of his grown sons make a business trip over seas, there have already been several, How long do you think it will be before they match that 85 million? 4 months? 6?

You forgot to mention, Trump is actually making money off of this too... the tax payers are paying for Trump's protection costs that part of the cost is for his protection to stay at HIS PLACES that lines Trump's pockets.

Also, didn't I read somewhere that even if Trump's kids fly on his plane they HAVE to bill the government for it? So even if they fly on Trump's plane it isn't free.

"When he’s president, Donald Trump will fly on Air Force One. Which means the Boeing 757 that Trump owns through a holding company will be free for use by Ivanka, Melania, Eric, Donald Jr., or whomever else. And if Trump requests Secret Service protection for those people, he will probably get it. And when Secret Service agents fly alongside a protectee, they use their budget to pay airfare. Which in the case of a flight on the Trump jet would mean paying Trump for the seats on his plane."

Trump can now loot millions of dollars from the Secret Service with no disclosure

Trump doesn't need to take the salary as President, he's going to make money hands over fist off of tax payers in other ways.

LMAO ---- just plain silly.

Have a nice day.

Nothing silly about it. The federal government is paying Trump Towers for rooms for the secret service to stay. They are talking about renting a whole floor for a year. The secret Service stay at Trump properties in Florida. The federal government pays for secret service to fly on Trump's plane... Trump is making a shit ton of money off of tax payers.

If they stayed down the road at the Hyatt, how would that work? They have to stay somewhere ... your assumption is that they are ACTUALLY paying for those rooms. Do you have proof of that?

They HAVE to pay for the rooms. It's a federal law. There was something about this before during the campaign with Trump and his plane. The only difference now? During the campaign the expenses had to be open to public record, now all the secret service expenses are undisclosed.

The only way the partisan Trumpeteers will become concerned is if the Trump kids pack their golf clubs. Conservatives HATE Presidential,type folks golfing. That's sinful, ya know.

He's wrong ... it's as simple as that.

Certain portions of the USSS budget are not open sourced, because they can reveal intelligence information (where the president is going, etc., etc.)

But, once the money is spent, it is readily available information - and you can even get it specially compiled if you submit a FOIA request. The expenditure accounting is usually released in the following fiscal year (about May). [Yeah, I used to work with the federal accounting people]

How do you think we know how much is spent on each vacation Obama took? A quick Google search revealed that USSS expense for Obama's 2013 vacation to Hawaii (17 days) were over $58,000.

Try it --- you'll like it.

It's been a month into the Presidency and it has already cost $10 million in trips to Mar-a-Lago. Be real. And this isn't going to end, he's calling it the Winter White House.

Taking a trip from D.C. to Palm Beach is pricey to begin with, but when you're the president, that trip gets considerably more expensive — with taxpayers picking up the tab.

According to The Washington Post, due in large part to their frequent traveling, President Donald Trump and his family's "unusually elaborate lifestyle" has proven to be incredibly expensive since the inauguration, to the point where the publication reports his presidency is already "costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents." Trump's three trips to Mar-a-Lago alone have cost the federal treasury an estimated $10 million. Combined with the $500,000 a day it costs to protect Trump Tower in New York City and to protect Trump's family on one-off business trips — like Eric Trump's recent visit to Uruguay, where "Secret Service and U.S. embassy staffers paid nearly $100,000 in hotel room bills" — that price tag is estimated to balloon into "hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term."

Trump's Sons Heading To Dubai As Business Interests Continue To Expand Overseas

Those expansions not only raise ethical questions about conflicts between Trump's role as president and as business owner but are generating concerns about costs to the U.S. taxpayers. The Trump sons get Secret Service protection, and their foreign business trips can be enormously expensive for their protective service, according to The Washington Post.​

Are his sons not allowed to do business now, or travel overseas because his father is President? Tax payers are paying for his protection no matter where he is. I'm sure you'd love to see something terrible happen to the Trump family, or that he be made to sit in virtual house arrest. Fortunately loons like you are the minority.

How did this sort of thing work when GHWB was American President? This because GWB and I think two of his brothers had business dealings that were through GHWB connections.

I don't think it was the same. I don't think his brothers had secret service protection - I think it's only immediate family - the President, his wife and his children.

"I think it's only immediate family - the President, his wife and his children."

Yes but when GHWB was President, his children would have had Secret Service Protection, his children being GWB, Jeb and whatever the other ones names are.

So President Trump's children also get Secret Service Protection.

Did GWB and Jeb travel as extensively overseas? I don't recall that.

Hownis traveling to dubai an indication of extensive overseas travel?

Stop whining. They are allowed to carry on with their lives. We don't lock up the families of the president because you don't like them. Trump saved enough money in the lockheed deal to pay their secret service.protection forever.

When you bitch about a Presidents vacation - a big part of the cost is Secret Service. Seems that the standard should be the same across all presidents. Right?

Er..no. You aren't bitching about the.president. You are bitching about his grown children.
