Questions raised over Trump profiting off his Secret Service detail while he campaigns
Accusations that Donald Trump has taken advantage of taxpayers by overcharging for lodging and travel for his Secret Service detail are once again being raised as he travels across the country running for the presidency again.In 2022, NBC News reported that a House investigative report showed that t...
He profited from the secret service (and by proxy, us) the whole time he was president when he made them pay full price to have rooms at his garbage resort in Florida.
This should not be a surprise.

I don't think this is true. I thought he increased the standard rate and charged them that. So it was like, double price.
Quick edit: I just looked it up, it was allegedly 4-5 times the approved government hotel rate.
He raised prices ahead of stays so it was full-full price.
At least as a candidate he can't direct the armed forces to stay at his resorts.
Yeah, I mean we knew this at the time and there was reporting on the immoluments clause back then. The result was... crickets.
Why should this not be a surprise?
Why do so many people normalize corruption?
Let’s turn questions into convictions.
Let’s just not vote for Trump. We went through this already and we already know he will profit from the Presidency in any way he can. This article is the same one I read 6 years ago. It’s insane that people have forgotten all of this already.
Questions like “how much are the gold bars I was bribed with worth?
Didn't he do this while he was president, forcing them to stay at his hotels and paying out of their budget or something?
Yes. And he overcharged them
And the consequence is?
He gets them to run in giant hamster wheels, generating electricity to sell back to the grid.
Are the questions raised in the sense of people who intone every sentence as if it were a question?
"So here's the story? Trump profited off his Secret Service detail? I have the evidence?"
No questions. We’ve already done thi- YOU’VE already done this, rawstory.
Fucking clickbait editor garbage headline
It's happening again, so it's newsworthy. We can't just stop reporting on corruption because it's been done before.
Right? Like, if I kill a bunch of people, is the media supposed to stop after the first murder?
.... he's been doing it since he first had a secret service detail....
Insane to me that we’ve known about this for years and nobody has done anything about it. He literally just charged them extra for hotel rooms to pad his wallet
If it did not matter to prosecutors during the for years he did it while president, why the fuck would any of them care now?
Grifters gonna grift, they can't help themselves.
the answer will be "yes, and?"
He really shouldnt even have the service while hes running for the office again. No other candidates have them. Would keep him on an equal footing. No former president should have that detail after a couple years anyway. Just costs us money better spent of better stuff
Former presidents almost always have protection. Major candidates often get it.
