As President, Donald Trump wasn't exactly shy about using his office to funnel profits to the Trump Organization.

Trump saw controversy in 2019 after reports broke that, before running for office, Trump reached a deal with officials at the Glasgow Prestwick Airport to recommend Trump's nearby Turnberry Resort to Air Force officers stopping there to refuel. He also infamously proposed holding the G7 Summit at his Florida resort in 2020—a move that would have sent untold amounts of funds to his business to accommodate the attending world leaders.


It turns out Trump continues to profit from his office even after leaving it.

Expense documents reported by the Washington Post reveal that, since his first day as a private citizen, Trump has charged U.S. Secret Service members nearly $400 per night for space at his Mar-a-Lago resort, where he lived until last month before moving to his New Jersey club for the Summer. These charges, reportedly for a workspace in the resort, have amounted to $40 thousand in the four months since Trump left office.

The Post reported:

"Former presidents get Secret Service protection for life. But last year The Washington Post spoke to historians and representatives for recent presidents and could not find another example of a president charging the Secret Service rent on this scale."

Given Trump's record, people weren't too surprised.






But they weren't excusing it.



The Trump Organization hasn't commented on the matter to the Post.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
