A single truth offered by Trump during his campaign; “I love spending other people’s money.” Today he and his despicable family are spending your money to maintain their lives of luxury and privilege, and also aid their closest friends with money which does not belong to them.
In the first seven months of Trump’s administration, his immediately family wasted $134 million taxpayer dollars to continue their lives of privilege and luxury. That is $16,333,333.33 per month. The number of families falling below the poverty line continues to grow.
The most recent discovery concerns the tens of millions of dollars remaining from Trump’s pitiful inauguration. Nearly $26,000,000 was gifted to a close friend of Melania Trump, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, for “event production services.”
President Obama’s first inauguration cost approximately $53 million; the most in history. Trump received donations in excess of $107 million, but only an estimated $54 million was spent for a very small turnout. Where did the rest of the money go?
We now know that about one-half of the donations went to Melania’s long-time friend. The other half went to WIS Media Partners.
Trump is the most expensive illegitimate president in history. Secret Service costs for his family’s million dollar vacations, and his many trips to his millionaire’s only resorts have forced requests for more than $60 million in additional funding for the first year. That will extrapolate to a quarter of a million dollars in his first term.
Let’s be totally clear; our nation cannot afford Trump. All programs which aid the American people will disappear as Trump and his wealthy friends watch their personal wealth grow in numbers never previously imagined.
The facts; Trump’s family is working in the White House; they have never received a security clearance. At least 100 members of the White House staff cannot be cleared by the FBI. These include members of his cabinet. Corruption and collusion are the constant connections between Trump and his circle of sinners.
Trump views his presidency as being the “Don” of the United States Mafia. His primary goal is to increase his family’s personal wealth.
Trump and Putin contrived a plan which began in 2005. The truth is that Putin is the most wealthy man in the world by far, and he has promised to assist Trump in his goal to become a multi-billionaire.
In every mystery; every political endeavor; it’s always ‘follow the money.’
If a handful of Republicans had the courage to expose Trump and his circle of sinners, our nation would be rid of its greatest embarrassment within months. But they remain cowards and hypocrites. Their party is the priority, and our nation is not a concern.
Think about it; November 6th is coming soon.
