$650 a night at Mar-a-Lago, $17,000 a month at Bedminster: What Trump's company charged taxpayers for Secret Service lodging

The charges, compiled here for the first time, show that President Trump has an unprecedented �� and largely hidden �� business relationship with his own government.

Trump��s company says it charges the Secret Service only minimal fees for use of his properties. But Secret Service records do not show that.

At Trump��s Mar-a-Lago Club, the Secret Service was charged the $650 rate dozens of times in 2017, and $396.15, dozens more times in 2018. And at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, the Secret Service was charged $17,000 a month to use a three-bedroom cottage on the property, an unusually high rent for homes in that area.

the "taxpayers" don't mind at all. Their Emperor can do whatever he wants...... ie carte blanche

It's no cheaper for any other President. Did you really think they'd stay at Motel 6?

""The phrase [Big Lie] was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.""


If the Foo shits, wear it.

Isn't this passage taken from Hitler's book Mein Kamph? It sounds like it's right out of Trump's playbook. Uncanny.
