Trump family travel spending is 10x more than Obamas
Posted by Thomas Bush / April 12, 2020
The Trump family is taking a whopping twelve times the number of secret-service protected trips than the Obama family did. This means that their travel has already cost the American taxpayer ten times as much as the Obamas cost for the entire eight years.
According to a New York Times investigation, Donald Trump’s family trust and some of his associates have a small stake in Sanofi, the company that makes it.
Other aspects of Trump’s handling the COVID crisis are leading to cries of corruption. His briefings on the pandemic are, basically, a parade of CEOs who lavish praise on Trump. Some 57% of the U.S. population believes that the political system only works for those with money and influence.
All manner of experts are criticizing Trump. Salon has published critical reports by public health experts, who say that Trump is mishandling the outbreak. The Guardian claims that the initial six weeks of the outbreak were the most important test of the Trump presidency––a test he failed by neglecting to take the virus seriously. The drive-through testing sites he promised are nowhere to be found, further suggesting his approval ratings will plummet––and more importantly the number of deaths will rise.
Perhaps Trump is not bungling anything. Perhaps he is making the most of this opportunity to profit himself and his allies.
