Lucas,
President Trump has done the impossible -- he’s figured out a way
to make money off his golfing habit, and the American people are footing the bill.
In only ten months, Donald Trump has traveled to his golf clubs like Mar
a Lago and Bedminster over 70 times. The Secret Service has paid at least
$144,975 in golf cart rentals alone to Trump-owned properties and golf
courses (including nearly $7,500 while Trump golfed over Thanksgiving).
The wasteful spending by this Administration is bad enough, that is also
enriches the President’s family is all the more corrupting. That’s
why I put forward an amendment to put a stop to it - now - but the House
GOP leadership blocked it from receiving a vote.
If you agree profiting off the Presidency is wrong, sign my petition calling
on Trump and his cabinet to stop wasting taxpayer money.
It’s not just the President who spends big bucks on travel and luxury:
former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price spent half a million
dollars on private jet travel when affordable commercial options were
easily available, and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin even asked for
a private government-owned plane to take him and his wife on his honeymoon
to Europe.
The Trump family and administration is one of the wealthiest to occupy
the Oval Office in our nation’s history, yet they think they can
get away with wasting tax dollars on luxurious travel and using the government
to enrich themselves and their businesses.
It’s time they end this wasteful spending: add your name now if you
agree with me.
Thanks for all you do,
Adam Schiff
