Irish government pays Trump over $100K to feed the police officers guarding him

Kevin M. Kruse Retweeted

Remember: an ex-Trump exec said Trump got $1M from foreign govts in 2018. Trump got himself 1/10 of that figure on a single trip in 2019!



Great scoop by @gordondeeg: when @realdonaldtrump made a side trip to visit his Irish resort this summer, the Irish govt paid Trump over $100K to feed the police officers guarding him.



State pays Donald Trump's Doonbeg resort €113k to feed and accommodate gardaí during US President's visit

He just can't afford to comp himself for his security costs that he incurs at his golf club, while we're paying him for him to go golf.

Cashed a 13 cent check from Spy Magazine, one time.

Basically, he's a fraud and pos in every way.

This pisses me off. And we haven't added up the cost of Pence's visit yet. These people are a scourge.
