Pro-Trump groups spending big at Trump properties
Watchdogs say there should be a ban on such money being funneled to the president’s business empire.

https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...-groups-544905

Trump’s reelection campaign has spent $670,000 at Trump properties since he was elected president, and $125,000 during the first three months of this year alone, recent disclosures show.


But Trump’s campaign is not the only group paying Trump’s companies for events, catering and sometimes even rent: The Republican National Committee has also paid $1.1 million to Trump properties since the election. Outside PACs supporting Trump and Vice President Mike Pence have also been two of the biggest political spenders at Trump properties during that time.

Watch Donny repeat Fox "News" talking points

http://money.cnn.com/2018/04/22/medi...ews/index.html

"Typically talking points in the past have gone from politicians to partisan media," said John Avlon, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast. "It is an extraordinary two-way relationship, the likes of which we've never seen."

From the above link:

“Are we a nation of laws, or are we going to succumb to what is called the ‘rule of man,’” Estrin says. “That’s the fight we’re having right now,” he added.

That sums it well.

Isn't it great that Trump found his MASTER at last, a young French guy?

Macron did a great job in the White House. And so will Merkel on Friday.

The taming of the WH idiot will be successful for sure and the entire world will be relieved.

US falls to 45th on press freedom index, Trump labeled 'media-bashing enthusiast'

Everyone here, excluding morons like Whell, should be horrified by this news.

Trump is erratic and unpredictable.

"If you are not guilty of a crime, what do you need immunity for?" Trump said at a campaign rally in Florida in September.

"The mob takes the Fifth Amendment," Trump said at a campaign event in Iowa later that month. "If you're innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?"


Michael Cohen today: “I’m pleading the fifth!”
