“Why is this even a question?! POTUS spends an obscene amount of time at his own properties, and every time his security detail must accompany ... at great cost to the tax payers. This cost should be detailed and documented in accounting of the blatant violations of the Emoluments Clause. ”

“This shouldn't even be up for discussion. Trump's almost constant 'vacationing' at properties owned by his business amounts to extortion of the taxpayers. It's ridiculous and needs to stop. STAY IN D.C. or foot your own bill (security detail and all!)”
