They can smell it all the way from Scotland.
Their president has been making money off the US Military. In other words, he has been stealing from the US taxpayers. It's difficult to put a pretty face on it. It is so obvious. His golf club went from "in the red" to in the black, because of business brought to it by Donald J Trump. The business was that of the US Military. And how much of the Jet Petroleum revenues did he receive? There is a lot that has been discovered but there is still a lot we do not know. Bet on it.

If someone was involved in an illegal transaction, would they put that on their tax returns?

(32,732 posts)the presidential salary or not? All of his lies need to be sorted out. He's a liar and a cheat.

(9,426 posts)this is WRONG. Emoluments Clause should be in full throttle on this alone. If he is not stopped, it will get worse. He THINKS he is a king. The military brass should be hauled onto the carpet over this, too. Someone higher up had to give these orders. Time to audit the Pentagon budget, too. So much corruption it boggles the mind. For a man with below average intelligence, he sure finds all the loopholes to the taxpayer cash, doesn't he? While we are distracted with this, Joni Ernst has a wonderful plan to eliminate Social Security!

(70,587 posts)Have the US Military go to their bases via Trump's Scotish Golf Course and then charge
the American people for room, board, green's fees, and aviation fuel. Only one thing to
do and that is we have to look @ HRC's emails.
