SURPRISE: IVANKA, ERIC, AND DONALD TRUMP JR. ARE STILL MOOCHING OFF U.S. TAXPAYERS

During the four years that Donald Trump served as president, he famously ripped off taxpayers for millions of dollars by hosting official business at his properties, where the grifter incarnate made sure to bill the people for everything from golf carts to candles to water. The biggest source of income, though, seemed to come from charging the Secret Service to rent space at his own resorts; whether it was a weekend at Mar-a-Lago or an overnight at Bedminster, Trump, who claims to be “very rich,” never thought to let the individuals protecting his life stay gratis, instead forcing the government to fork over significantly more cash than what Eric Trump once claimed was “like 50 bucks” per night.

The Washington Post reports that thanks to the 45th president’s order, made during his last days in office, to extend 24/7 security for six months for Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, Lara Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Tiffany Trump, and three former officials, taxpayers have been forced to fork over $1.7 million to protect a collection of people who (1) have no role whatsoever in government and (2) can afford to protect themselves
