Report: Trump Organization Is Bilking Taxpayers and Lying About It

[Newest Reality]

Well, of course. It's one, big bilking like a constant milking of our tax money, but details help. One would expect the Trump Rodent Infestation Organization to demand its due all along the way. Any consideration of altruism on their part could be a sign of delusions.

The King cashes in because he has the right to.

President Trump has been claiming that his Ukraine extortion scheme was motivated by an earnest concern about corruption. The president and his allies say they are so outraged that Hunter Biden made money off his relationship to a sitting vice-president that they held up military aid to Ukraine, and are opening an investigation into the matter now, half a decade later. “I probably have a legal obligation, Mr. Attorney, to report corruption,” Trump told the country yesterday.

Meanwhile Trump is engaged in massive personal, ongoing corruption. The Washington Post has obtained Secret Service receipts from Trump’s properties. It reveals a massive profiteering scandal.

There are several important takeaways from the Post’s report. First, it shows that the Trump Organization has flat-out lied about the benefits it gets from the government business Trump throws its way. Last year, President Trump briefly sought to host a G-7 summit at one of his properties. Eric Trump, an independent entrepreneur who operates at arm’s length from his father’s administration, explained that the move would actually save taxpayers a lot of money. “If my father travels, they stay at our properties for free — meaning, like, cost for housekeeping,” he told Yahoo Finance. “If he stays at one of his places, the government actually … saves a fortune because, if they were to go to a hotel across the street, they’d be charging them $500 a night, whereas, you know, we charge them like 50 bucks.”

This promise turns out not to be exactly, or even approximately, true. In fact, the Post finds that the Secret Service routinely paid $396 a night for rooms, and on many other occasions, paid $650 a night. So unless Eric Trump is such a terrible businessman he underestimates the cost at one of the properties he is running by thirteenfold, he (on behalf of his father’s business) is intentionally deceiving the public.

1. Unless we

incapacitate this fucker ASAP, we're gonna be burnt soggy toast.

I think this will continue to damage the country until we shut it down, even if a general strike is the answer, which it may well be in the end.

2. I remember around 2009 or 2010

Meeting someone at a bar in Pittsburgh who claimed to have voted for Obama in 2008 but was pissed, based on something he heard on a right wing radio program, that Obama had no regard for taxpayer money because he had his family join him on a trip to Paris and they took a separate plane after the school week was over, costing the taxpayers more money. Yet somehow I suspect the host of whatever radio show this guy listened to isn't kicking and screaming about this.

3. When they...

When they enable the abuser, they tend to do that.

It seems to be their strategy, overall.

4. An entire white supremacist movement was created under the guise of "fiscal responsibility"...and no

I'm not referring to the Republican Party. I'm talking about the Tea Party which is affiliated with the Republicans.

Where is the Tea Party now? Why aren't they standing up and shouting on the rooftops about the current deficit.
