Trump to host world leaders in N.J., report says

(Planning for your next taxpayer-funded "working vacation" at your private golf course - while on vacation!)

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.

Trump is expected to make his first presidential address to the General Assembly on Sept. 19.

The U.S. State Department is preparing to host the leaders at Trump National Bedminster over several days that week, according to the report, which cites anonymous sources familiar with the planning.

the membership fee at Bedminster is $300,000.

Well, the important parts, like the Second Amendment, a slice of the First Amendment for the right people in the right churches, and the Tenth Amendment.
