Do you support the taxpayers being on the hook for politicians traipsing around the globe or not?



Donnie Sr. made a BFD press conference with his CPA saying Don Jr and Eric would NOT BE IN HIS ADMINISTRATION and instead THEY WOULD RUN THE FAMILY BUSINESSS.

This trip to Uruguay by Eric was for FAMILY BUSINESS.

Trump Incorporated should REIMBURSE taxpayers for FAMILY BUSINESS trips. Pure and simple.

It doesn't matter. Children of the president get Secret Service protection. Period. It doesn't matter where he goes or what he does.

Obama's kids still get it. Maybe we should cut them off since Obama is no longer in office.

Once Obama's kids are in BUSINESS, those BUSINESS trips should not be on the taxpayers' dime. Eric's trip will make money for the FAMILY BUSINESS.....why are taxpayers' underwriting his PRIVATE BUSINESS COSTS??

Yeah, just what we need is some nutjob taking the Presidents Grandkids hostage or worse.

I think I saw the movie though where some Hollywood Lib came to the rescue.

In addition, we pay for Donny Jr's trips, Tiffany's trips, Ivanka and Jared's trips? This family is costing the country an outrageous amount of money. Trump makes a big deal out of donating his salary to the treasury? That's a drop in the bucket compared to what the country is paying to support his family's lifestyle.

Really laughable that those who howled about the Obama's two-week summer vacation in Massachusetts have no problem with the hundreds of thousands the Trump family is costing the country.
They complained about the millions that it cost us. It's either wrong or OK. Which is it?

For the 100th time, taxpayers are NOT paying for business costs. They are paying for security, something he is entitled to UNDER THE LAW.

What part of that do you not understand?

If you don't like the rules, write to your congressman.

That isn't what I asked is it? For some business is business. For some politics is business. Should we fund family members traipsing around the world or not?

Given this administration's AMERICA FIRST motto.....why is Eric flying to Uruguay at all for FAMILY BUSINESS??? Sounds more like FAMILY BS.

Further, there is nothing "impeachable" about this, contrary to what the BS liberal article says. It's also false that the taxpayers paid for the trip. They didn't. The costs were for Secret Service expenses, something he is entitled to and something he needs for protection from the lunatics and terrorists on the left.

If you're going to post flame-bait, which this clearly is, as least get the facts straight.
And gee, it is from the Wash Post, another left rag.

What do you expect HONEST reporting?

They have been on the left side so long they wouldn't recognize an un-biased story if they saw one!
