Majarorie Maryweather Post envisioned Mar-a-Lago as a southern White House. What she didn’t envision was that the President would personally make money off it. #americanswamp
Mar-a-Lago member and fellow billionaire Jeff Greene says he has no direct access to the President at the club BUT in his 2018 run for Gov he said his membership would allow him to confront Trump. #americanswamp
Presidents rewarding friends and donors w ambassadorships is nothing new - many presidents have done it before - but naming Mar-a-Lago members takes it further. It’s rewarding people who put money directly in the President’s pocket. #americanswamp
For first four POTUS trips to Mar-a-Lago, the club charged Secret Service and defense Dept staff $60,000 to stay there. That’s $60,000 paid by the American taxpayer to the President. And that’s JUST his first four trips. #americanswamp
Political groups spent 1.9 million at Trump DC hotel since the start of 2017. Secret service spent $200,000 in taxpayer money at hotel per govt docs FOIA’d by NBC News #AmericanSwamp
After 2018 Trump said Dems investigating him would provoke a war-like-posture. Since then he’s gone from tweeting “Presidential Harrasment” to personally attacking Oversight Chair @RepCummings and his Baltimore district. Cummings told @jacobsoboroff and me he’s just doing his job
Is Donald Trump fleecing the country? Congress and the courts will come up with some answers but ultimately it is the American people who will decide if it’s okay for the President of the United States to profit off the presidency. #americanswamp
