Dr. Jill Biden: Trump Attacks On Biden Family ‘Disgraceful’ | MSNBC
And we join you. Trump is a small man
Maybe he will get a box to stand on for the debate like Bloomberg
@War Hawk Sticks and stones
Trump’s Miami golf resort, that puts money into his pocket, has more than doubled its room rates just before the White House announced his visit. Trump’s plan to address the RNC winter meeting at Trump National Doral has been in the works since mid-January, about the same time that the resort raised the nightly rate for its least expensive rooms from $254 to $539.
That higher figure is just under the maximum per-night rate federal government rules permit for a hotel in South Florida, and is triple the normal “per diem” rate employees are supposed to follow.
The White House would not reveal how much Trump’s Secret Service agents or other members of his “advance” team are paying for the days prior to his visit. At least two dozen staff typically need to get there a few days ahead of time to prepare for his arrival.
Doral officials refused to discuss how much they are charging for government employees staying there for Trump’s visit. The Trump Organization, the president’s family business that owns and operates the resort, also did not respond to questions.
The watchdog group, Public Citizen, said the episode illustrates Trump’s continued use of his office to enrich himself. “What better way to defend yourself in an impeachment trial over abuse of power than to jet to your private golf resort on the public dime, secure lots of publicity for the club on the public dime, and then, possibly, rip off taxpayers by forcing them to pay extra for the staff whose costs at the resort are billed to ‘we the people.”
Trump backed down from his plan to award a multimillion-dollar government contract to his Doral resort to host the G-7 summit there this June. Trump had claimed he would not make any money from the contract, which was a blatant lie. He is the sole beneficiary of the trust that owns Trump Organization, and Trump Organization owns his hotels and golf resorts, including Doral. Yet Trump wants us to believe that he cares about fighting corruption.😂
Because Trump insists on playing golf at his own properties, American taxpayers have been the source for at least a few million dollars that have gone into his pockets in the form of rooms, meals and other expenses for Secret Service agents and other government employees who have stayed on-site with Trump at his golf courses in FL. NJ, Scotland and Ireland. The exact amount is not known because the White House refuses to release those records.
For the latter half of December and the first days of January, Doral’s website advertised rates as low as $254 per night for nonrefundable rooms for the days of the RNC meeting.
Those numbers suddenly jumped to $459 a night on Jan. 13, soon after the White House first began planning for a potential Trump trip to the meeting. The next day it jumped to $539 a night. But the most corrupt president in American history wants us to believe that he cares about fighting corruption. 😄
The jump in room rates at Doral continues a pattern of Trump properties hiking rates to take advantage of campaign and election-related events hosted by Republicans.
In 2016, Trump nearly quintupled the rent he charged his campaign for space in Trump Tower after he secured the GOP nomination and had access to the RNC’s donors, from $35,458 a month to $169,758, even though the number of employees remained the same.
In 2017, according to documents obtained by the group Property of the People under the Freedom of Information Act, Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort refused to lower its room charges below the legal maximum $546 a night for administration officials staying there, despite State Dept requests to bring them into line with the government per diem of $182. The White House ultimately also approved a $1,005.60 bar tab after the State Department would not do so.
And in November, according to the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Trump’s D.C., hotel raised its rates threefold ― to more than $1,300 a night for its cheapest rooms ― for nights coinciding with a fundraising retreat for Senate Republicans. That hotel has similarly raised its cheapest rates to $1,600 for this November’s election night.
Not only is Trump personally profiting from his office by the increased political patronage of his business, the business raises rates when he does so he’ll profit even more.
Nixon’s corruption never rose to the level of corruption that we’ve already seen with Trump.
Fun fact: The emoluments clauses are our country’s original anti-corruption laws. They are written into the document that created our government and defined our system of laws.
David J , Jill the puppet master behind Senile Joe Biden !
Thanks!
The lying orange projector in chief reveals his true identity when he insults his adversaries.
Lol… Biden’s actions need to be investigated.
Why?
@Power corrupts… I think it was explained in the impeachment hearing.
Imagine being a parent and explaining the behaviour of the President of the United States to your children. Frankly, I fear for the lessons children are learning about how corrupt the world is, and how deceitful and irresponsible adults are. Western society used to have *standards*. Evangelicals should be ashamed but, apparently, they’ve forgotten what that’s like.
tell them the truth. Moron
The doors to the insane asylum has been left open ,the crooks are in charge .A sane stable world is about fall apart .
Right on moms!Bully had to be dropped by mom doing laundry.Lack of hugs in formative years.Kind of feel whoopsie sorry for fella.Trump hugs his golf club and sleeps w/the putter.
“come on man” “I’m not lying” “How old are you sweetie pie?
I would fear the guy that dont know if he is in Iowa or Kansas too, a guy that out of touch with reality can be dangerous and unpredictable
Or know what happened at Pearl harbor
The son of a b**** got fired
Wouldn’t ya know it…
@Olek the Eternal more need to see
Even a hundred years ago, it was considered the height of stupidity to fall for, *_Hey! Look over there!”_* A thug – who it blatantly cheating the American electorate out of their one shred of power – is being allowed to get away with EVERY manner of crime, because when the thug says, “Hey! Look over there,” we, the idiots, ACTUALLY LOOK! At what point do we say:
“So _WHAT?_ Look at YOUR behavior!”
Are we TOO stupid to live?
Is THIS how America dies?
Is it dead ALREADY?
yes you are TOO STUPID!
I can’t believe the hateful comments , I thought Bernie was for Unity…..really , you sure , cause that’s not what I’m reading…I’m reading a whole lot of hate and disrespectful comments…..resembling Trumps followers…..Democrats ?? really ?
Joe Biden goes to visit president xi in China and says I’m here to represent the United States and let you know we stand with India and will reverse those unfair tariffs put on your country
France should announce that it is investigating Drumpf for paedophilia.
So should Australia.
(Only because I’m deeply concerned about fighting paedophilia.)
Creepy Joe 😎👍
Joe 2020!
The psychopath needs to bring everybody into the pit with him. Let him drown in peace. “The Family” (seeNetflix) explains the 200+ year plan to establish a global Dictatorship and they’ve identified psychopath to do this
The person Trump fears running against most isn’t Biden its Sanders. He was caught on tape hoping that it’s Biden lol. He knows Sanders would win.
From 1974, when the Gallup data starts, to September 2009, the average approval rating for Congress in Gallup’s polling was 37%. That’s not good. President Donald Trump, who has been historically unpopular for a president, has had an average approval rating in the low 40s over the last year.
But that 37% is more than double the 17% average approval rating Americans have given Congress since September 2009.
It’s not just that the average has been low, though — it’s how consistent the low ratings have been.
You have to go back 10 years in Gallup data to find a single poll in which Congress’ approval rating was at 30% or above. That’s by far the longest stretch that Congress has had a sub-30% approval rating since polling on this began. Prior to this latest run, I couldn’t find a single stretch of four years or more in which there wasn’t a Gallup poll in which Congress’ approval rating was at least 30%.
Plumpy Trumpy, phony Donnie, con Don never knew what decency or honesty were.
The whole election process is disgraceful. Trump is just the tip of the iceberg.
More on video bragging about what he did in Ukraine,the same thing that he accused Trump of doing. Only thing is Joe admitted it.
