Trump Headed to Bedminster Golf Club Today

Reports: Trump may host world leaders at Bedminster golf club

From: http://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/news/politics/new-jersey/2017/09/12/reports-trump-may-host-world-leaders-bedminster-golf-club/658774001/


The president of the United States may be hosting world leaders at his golf club over the next week and a half, according to multiple reports.

*****

"The State Department is getting ready for an unspecified number of foreign meetings at the Bedminster, N.J., golf club over several days during the week of Sept. 18," the Washington Post reported. "The White House has not announced plans for Trump’s first visit to the gathering, which usually draws roughly 150 heads of state."

The report said that presidents attend the gathering for around two days, while the secretary of state stays for a week or more.

According to a report in Politico, however, Trump is planning to spend at least three days at the General Assembly, breaking from the ranks of former presidents.

*****

A VIP temporary flight restriction has also been issued for Sept. 15 to 24 for the Morristown and Bedminster area. Temporary flight restrictions for VIP officials were issued during all of Trump's previous visits.

Wouldn't it be ironic if 'Jose' paid Trump a visit while 'not vacationing' at his private golf club?

Why is this not illegal. The president profiting off his duties of president. We already pay for events at the White House, why should we pay for official events at his properties?
