The Trump International Hotel in Washington, just five blocks from the White House, charged the Secret Service more than $200,000 in taxpayer money during the first year of Trump’s presidency. Expense documents obtained by NBC News show that a total of $215,254 was spent by the agency at the property from September 2016 to February 2018. One bill came in at $33,638 for just two days of use. The bills don’t explain what the money was used for, but the hotel has become a routine venue for Trump events that typically require Security Service detail. The Secret Service told NBC that it couldn’t discuss costs incurred to carry out its work.

1. You have to give props. This is a brilliant grift.

He emptied daddy's bank accounts and now he's emptying the treasury. You'd think you might hear this on the national news on television, but you won't. Our only hope is the courts, which normally are slower than slow, or a blood clot.
