We will know in disgusting detail how much was spent there, and how it compares to what might have been spent elsewhere.

There are apparently other instances where cabinet members have stayed at trump properties. It better have saved the .gov money, because it would be pretty stupid to try to get away with it otherwise.Well, yeah. That's what politicians do.
Media (MSM and otherwise) need to prioritize. In the same time that he's made up this map thing, what are the things that we're NOT supposed to be paying attention to.
Actually, in other parts of government, its an ethical violation to divert government resources to personal profit, and its kinda a problem.
He's charged the US gov't rent before in Trump tower, so there's a certain precedent.
Plus, I'm not sure he's ever let someone stay in his hotels for free. Certainly could be wrong about that, but it is standard for the US gov't to pay for the lodging of elected officials and staff on official business.
Trump likes to get paid. US gov't pays for the places its people stay.
To put it another way, there are ethical rules about private citizens providing perks for elected officials without compensation. That's a whole different issue.
Not just elected officials.
My understanding is that almost all of the notable travelers in the federal government have stayed in Trump properties - and paid him for the opportunity to do so.
I doubt any money has been saved, but I am interested to know what the delta is on that.
Let's say that I was ok, in theory, with Pence staying at Trump's resort in Ireland. The resort he stayed at was at Doonbeg. Doonbeg, is on the west coast of Ireland. Pence's meetings were in Dublin. Dublin is on the east coast of Ireland. There is 180 miles between the two. Pence's chief of staff says they stayed in Doonbeg for safety reasons. So apparently in the crime hub of Ireland, there's not anyplace between Dublin and Doonbeg where one could ensure the safety of the VP. Do you honestly buy that?
They should make it mandatory to stay at American owned facilities when they are available. But I know that would be way too patriotic for liberals.
That was the reason given in the article I read.
I was actually referring more to how would anyone know. Travel expenses aren't top secret.

Better check his tax return for this year.
Fun fact. You can draw a straight line from any natural disaster anywhere in the world right to the white house.
