[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump is still directly benefiting. No one said Trump ordered this, but he is making money off of your tax dollars, when there are cheaper options near the airport or on US/RAF bases elsewhere.

Domestic emolument is still illegal.[/quote]

They paid the  government rate. Or, less than the govt. rate.

"The New York Times, meanwhile, found that the deal involved the Air Force paying a discounted rate of as little as $130 a night, compared with a typical rate of more than $300 a night. It was one of 13 hotels booked by the airport, and is approximately 40 minutes away from the airport."[/quote]

The issue is, there are hotels right by the airport for $60/night, so even with the discounted rate, we are having our service members be shuttled 40 minutes each way and pay double what they need to. Wasteful both from a time and money standpoint.[/quote]

[quote]According to Air Force officials, a local contractor was unable to find closer lodging accommodations for the C-17 crew and found cheaper government rates at the Trump property.

The Trump property nightly rate of $136 was less expensive than the $161 charged by a nearby Marriott property. Both of those rates were below the per diem rate of $166.

On the return flight from Kuwait, the C-17 crew stayed at the nearby Marriott property.[/quote]

There should be zero stays at Trump properties funded by taxpayers. Zero. [/quote]
