Meanwhile, our tax money is Trump's personal cash box.

Washington Post reports that a January trip by Eric Trump — who does not have a position in his father's administration — to visit a Trump-licensed property in Uruguay cost taxpayers almost $100,000.

Hotel rooms for Eric's Secret Service attachment cost $88,320 while rooms for U.S. Embassy employees to "support the VIP visit" tacked on another $9,510. The government did not provide the length of the trip, the name of the hotel, or the number of rooms booked.

Why it matters: It's another example of the difficulty in separating the Trump administration from his previous business ventures in a way that speaks most to taxpayers — cold hard cash.

I have to wonder why Eric rates a USSS bodyguard? Surly he is not in the Government, was not on a Government trip He is free white and over 21, I say fuck him and his little dog too. If he needs security let him pay for it. It's not like he's poor. And State Dept support for a VIP? Very Impudent Prick in Uruguay he's just a normal American Real Estate con man what the fuck does he need State Dept support for?

The Obama girls are minors and girls, plus they don't put their detail up in five star hotels.

Just like they "suddenly" care about the constitution.

Bombing our own citizens....and those poor poor Muslims!!


But if Clinton had run a drone strike on the 8 y/o girl I'm sure she would be getting her peace prize right about now because it's all good as long as a (D)'s doing it.

Shit we probably would have never heard anything about it.

It's federal law that they do. Regardless of their wealth they cannot buy security that is equivalent. The secret service it's plugged into the national intelligence community and have legal status as federal agents. Private security cannot match that.

If Frank and Warren are so upset about it they can propose a bill changing the law.

Sabertooth

Haven't seen that one before. It's actually kinda cool.

Fauxcahontas

But you only embarrass yourself when you use that one. Retire it.

Just another lefty speech censor.

Clearly that's not what they're upset about.

The only thing they are upset about is....Trump.

The rest of it is total fucking bullshit made up because "fuck Trump".

"Fuck Trump" is never bullshit.

Being a spiteful shit just to be a spiteful shit is always bullshit.

I don't have a problem with the adult Trump children having Secret Service protection -- there's ample precedent-- but $88,000 for hotel rooms in Uruguay? Were they required to empty out the hotel completely?

George W. Bush was in his forties when his father was President, and Dubya had work and other duties that required a substantial amount of travel. Was it standard back then to spend so much on protecting a president's kids, or have we seen a certain amount of mission creep with an unlimited budget?
