Just another case of him thinking he is above the law and should be impeached, we have enough evidence he isnt fit to serve in our country's highest office.... I hope he gets locked up as well so it is clear to his supporters what a crook he is.

Not to mention the Secret Service costs being passed onto the tax payer, like Eric Trump's recent trip to Uruguay that cost $100,000.

We're also spending an absolute fortune on Melanias security in NY.

Secret Service for the first family is something every president has had. If Eric Trump worked for any other company and had to take this business trip the cost would have been the same and it wouldn't be news. Because he is running the Trump organization, it is now a problem. The US taxpayer payer paid for Malia Obama to go on spring break in Mexico. What do you think the cost was for her Secret Service? There was no outrage over it on LIF.

If it were an occasional vacation it wouldn't be an issue. The idea that this will probably be a more frequent thing than ever before and that he's taking in who knows how much money in the meantime that is the concern.

I have no problem with SS for the family. However, this is being used for the Trump organization. Trump is making money off of this. Trump has not divested his businesses. The taxpayer is paying for a cost of his business. This is a conflict of interest.
I don't think Malia or B Obama made money off of her spring break trip.

Malia is also a child with no means to pay for her own security. Eric Trump has ample means to pay for his own security.

If Melania wants to make different choices than any other first lady and live far away from him, fine. But why should the taxpayers have to pay for it?

Re: Trust Records Show Trump Is Still Closely Tied to His Empire
I believe I read somewhere that business travel for protectees has to be reimbursed. There's a difference between paying for a president's family member while he/she attends school or carry out duties related to his/her position and going on a business trip which is going to generate a lot of money for the president's company.
