How does Trump get away with this s--t? He is in Wheeling WV

for a MAGA rally. Aren't we paying for his travels here? Who is getting the money from all the Chinese made
MAGA hats and other trash being sold? Isn't there something illegal about this?

He's so insecure he can't stand to go to an area where he might get some pushback. What a waste of time and money. Isn't he supposed to be running the country or something?

He has the SCOTUS, the legislature, and has his people corrupting every major facet of government.

Normally, the campaign pays back the cost of a first class plane ticket. Trump just seems to be doing it a lot more than previous presidents.

And hat stands and still are all over the downtown and Festival area on sale since Thursday. I don't know the price I didn't check. It reminds me of a Rock Concert selling Trump souvenirs before and during intermission of the Show. Probably also inside Area during rally. It's set to start at 7pm about a half hour from now. Also lots of Anti Trump protesters in Downtown Wheeling and near the Wheeling Civic Center.

today.
