He's still winning. Pence just visited Ireland and stayed at Trumps hotel. Asked if Trump mentioned anything about staying at his hotel, Pence said, " He suggested it." He will find a way to funnel government money into his pocket. Its amazing that people think that this is ok. He just keeps winning, but at our expense.
The worse part is that he is flying 150 miles to the meetings in Dublin aboard AF2 each day with his entourage because he claimed he couldn't find a venue in Dublin.
Why does he need such a large group for a meeting with Ireland.
The Trump Golf Course in Doonberg reported losing $1M a year in 2014 to 2017 and is also home to where Pence's family originated, its a win -win for Trump but not so much for the taxpayers.

During his taxpayer-funded trip to Ireland, Pence is flying to meetings in Dublin, which is nearly 150 miles away. Asked why Pence chose not to stay in Dublin, Short said that the vice president’s schedule had changed too late to make such a change.
This really has to stop. We have a corrupt president who is stuffing his pocket with taxpayer dollars and getting away with it. This is disgraceful and disgusting. The fact that the GOP is hiding its head in the sand and allowing Trump to turn our government into his own personal profit center is also disgusting.
Picture this - President Obama owns a hotel in Ireland. VP Biden is going to meet with the Irish PM. Obama tells Biden he is going to stay at his resort, despite the inconvenience of being hours away from the meeting venue and requiring Air Force 2 to ferry the entourage back and forth every day to President Obama's resort from meetings. I'm sure the Tea Party and McConnell would be just fine with it and not say boo.

Better yet, make the meeting in Kenya. Watch the conservative heads explode.
Perhaps the hotel was chosen because as Trump stayed there recently the Secret Service would already be on top of the detail.
Maybe it was easier for Pence to visit his relatives in the area.
Perhaps it was the cheapest option.
Either way it helps support the local workforce.
I'm sure it went through the usual State Department protocols.
