One day — July 25, 2017 — shows how @realdonaldtrump and his family have turned their Secret Service protection into a moneymaker for their private business.

On that day, Trump Org did business with the US govt in 3 countries at the same time.

Here’s how:

In IRELAND that day, @realdonaldtrump’s Doonbeg course got paid $6,500 by the government.

@erictrump had visited recently, and charged the Secret Service to come with him.

In CANADA that day, agents were arriving at @realdonaldtrump’s Vancouver hotel, preparing for a visit by @DonaldJTrumpJr. The Trump hotel would charge the Secret Service $5,775 (in US dollars) for their rooms.

And in the US, @realdonaldtrump’s Bedminster club charged the Secret Service $567 to rent a cottage that night. And every other night of the month.
B/c Trump’s travels are unpredictable, the Secret Service rents that cottage every night from May-November, just in case.

So where was @realdonaldtrump, on this night when his government was doing business with his company in 3 places at once?
