Swamp Scandal: Trump Sees Huge Gain From Govt Spending At Hotels | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC

After saying he stayed at Trump’s resort in Ireland at the ‘suggestion’ of the President, Mike Pence is now backtracking his statements saying ‘at no time did the President direct’ him to stay at the ‘Doonbeg resort.’ This comes after House Dems say they will investigate Trump’s push to host G-7 summit at his property in Florida. Travel journalist Zach Everson argues, ‘the President is profiting from the presidency’ after reporting ‘$81M in income from the Trump Hotel in D.C.’ in the last two years alone.

    1. @jeff mcgowan And you need to work on spelling, sentence structure, critical thinking skills and you need to see an eye doctor cause you are purposefully blind. Oh and you seem to have the common sense of a spoon.

  1. Trumpet is bleeding American taxes for himself.
    Voter’s you have to Dump trumpet and Moscow Mitch.
    Vote blue wave in 2020

    1. He’s cutting the national debt $500,000,000,000 a year and not getting paid for it.I pay less taxes now.Wake up

  2. Anyone staying in a Trump hotel should know these businesses are wired and there is NO privacy while Russian mobsters sleep next door .. NOW THATS FISHIE !

  3. The trump crime family invading 1600 Penn Ave was like a flash mob of hoodlums taking over a convienice store, stripping the shelves bare while the overwhelmed cashier looks on in immobilized dismay.

    1. wes c …What Obama did was AFTER HE LEFT OFFICE he did speeches where he was paid millions. That’s corrupt enough. Doing favors for big banks while president, then they pay you back once out of office with gigantic speaking fees. What Trump is doing is blatant, open, corruption, right in our faces, while in office. When he gets out of office, he’ll do those same Obama type speeches since he did do the elites bidding with that tax cut for the 1%. It’s corruption on both sides. But what Trump has done is take that corruption to the extreme.

    2. So create a foundation or library and extort money from foreign governments and become billionaires like Clintons..,then destroy emails…

    1. You already have, several times in fact. He dumps his personal debt into his future corporate bankruptcies and forges ahead with ripping you all off. He’s gearing up to do it again by the sounds of it.

    1. @Martin Camp personally, I would rather he was made penniless and forced to live on the streets, shouting at lampposts and selling matches…

    2. @Colin Cleveland All those stupid Trumpers would take him and continue to pay his bills and enrich his coffers… AS WE ALL DO NOW.

    3. @Martin Camp How long do you think it would take him to wear out his welcome?
      I take your point though, as GW said, You can fool some people, all of the time; and those are the ones to concentrate on.

    1. It’s a conman’s trick.  By rejecting the official salary from taxpayers, he is rejecting any official responsibilities to taxpayers.

    1. When I talk to people, and people say things, because it’s people that I hear talkin, no joke, they say my properties are tremendous… top notch… and believe me when people are talking they are saying things, and when they said things, those are things that they said, because when you said things that you say, you are definitely saying things

    1. And his supporters eat it up. Anytime I bring up how he’s making millions off of his golf trips alone, all I hear about is how he’s not taking a salary…

  4. tRump is a crook,always will be.If this was a democrat president, $hit would hit the fan.Its against the law

    1. @John O
      Yeah you’re right.
      I shall refrain from sounding overconfident.
      Every blue vote is needed.
      The Repubs don’t care how they play the game.
      Cheating is just fine with them.

    1. He didn’t drain the swamp, but he did expose it for all to see. Will be up to the people to do the draining.

    1. You can not just say that and expect to be taken seriously, back it up !! What are you wanting him impeached for ? He has not done anything under the impeachment laws or guidelines to even start the proceedings, so give it your best shot. What are you demanding impeaching him for ?

    2. @James Whitfield they don’t know give them a few minutes I promise that they will come up with more hearsay aka a B.S. lie

    1. It’s way more than that! You all cleared his debts with each one of his corporate bankruptcy filings. Oh, and he’s got some more on the way, just so you know.

    1. @God Bless us all Do you ever stop and think? What are the future implications for you once the rights and freedom you now enjoy and take for granted are taken away, first from people YOU don’t like, later people around you Trump doesn’t like and finally YOU! Google this common historical method of seizing control of free countries. Don’t be a dupe!

    2. God Bless us all again No facts just. Fox not news propaganda. Trump is as corrupt as the day is long, why should Democrats work with him? He has nothing that he is working on any way except that stupid wall
