(Planning for your next taxpayer-funded "working vacation" at your private golf course - while on vacation!)Source: NJ.com, by Brent Johnson
TRENTON -- President Donald Trump is planning to host foreign leaders at his Bedminster golf club in September when he attends the annual United Nations General Assembly, according to a report by the Washington Post.
The move breaks with decades of precedent for U.S. presidents, who usually hold meetings with foreign dignitaries at hotels or at the U.N. headquarters in New York City, the report said.

the membership fee at Bedminster is $300,000.
