I hate saying hate but I hate that guy.

Isn't there a law against this, or do we just not care.

Why?

Why are we paying for this?

He should have used his own money!!! That was private business not anything to do with government! Make him pay it back!! Give it to our vets!!!!

So?! Michelle Obama had a vast army of assistants.

I think his trip to prison will cost less!

Why do taxpayers foot any travel bills for Don Jr.? He’s traveling as a private citizen, isn’t he? He’s not on the government payroll...

Well I bet Obama’s daughter had secret service on her trips in California to intern with Weinstein and her protesting against the pipeline....

Ridiculous!

Wtf

That's 'crumbs' compared to what the Obamas are costing us for the leisure trips they take.

Then impeachment him!!!

Con man

Ridiculous

Maybe he should have claimed Obama’s kids as leading officials then he could have had the same deduction as they tried to do . I mean the left was ok when Michael tried that right

Maybe if the left would stop the death threats he wouldn't need SS.

But this time his gone be fail justice for jamal khashoggi

Rack up Michelle’s vacations. With her mom. Kids. Friends. Not for business. Tons more. Ridiculous article.

The first lady has half the staff M Obama had so let’s call it even.

Lock him up

It will cost $120k per year to keep him in prison.

So what .... Michael Obama’s trip to Africa cost over $400,000.00 and she even called her children “ senior staff” to cover their costs

He doesn't work for the government. Taxpayers should not have been paying a dime for this trip

There’s a lot of teeth in that picture

Vanessa1971 Why are taxpayers paying for this douch tools trips?

Drop in the bucket compared to what mueller has stuck the taxpayers with! Maybe trump jrs trip will make US companies some money!

Ridiculous!!

How is this possible!

Imagine that.

Why?

_3rd_Derivative Why are we the taxpayer paying for donnie jr' trip to India?

Not being familiar with the Federal rules or regs is there a mechanism for evaluating the legitimacy of the trips and costs? I don’t know if there’s a conflict with with the obligation to provide Secret Service protection for the family and the family business

The taxpayers need to STOP paying to protect realDonaldTrump kids... let them pay fir their own expenses

What big game trophy did he kill there, that we are funding....🤬

Do not start that crap. You never, ever gave Obama and his tribe of leeches one word of complaint when he took the multiple expensive vacations each year. You never said one word about all the Clinton's physically stole from the White House when they left. Time to play nice.

This is criminal and should be investigated. Republicans should step up. America Democrats

I will be so glad when mueller put all of these fools behind bars 👮🏽‍♀️👮🏽‍♀️👮🏽‍♀️

Ffs this is fraud. The rest of taxpayers would be fired and charged for this

alaskarebel Why, he's not part of the administration. He is not a Government employee.

alaskarebel This is where our taxes go? NO!

how much does a federal inmate cost the taxpayers per year.. LETS PAY THAT INSTEAD!

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Only 100.000? There the ordinairy workman more than 1 Year for work. Trump jr. used that for a trip that also is private! That people know no shame!

.

Should have been $0.

I want my money back NOW!!!

Not bad! his dad gave his 2 years $600k salary back to tax payers.

Just seems WRONG! It seems the WHOLE Trump family displays privilege, indiscretion, and audacity!

and why taxpayers money? he’s no elected official.

And what govt agency does he work for? Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill? BS

Why re the taxpayers supporting Trump getting richer by violating our laws?

Sorry, stupid try. Receipts show all nongovt. Costs paid on his personal accts.

Why are these Scoundrels travelling / fleecing the American taxpayers Why is there no Congressional oversight on the abuse of our scarce tax dollars? This must stop 🛑 now! Stop the corruption of the Trump Administration! Congress Act, please!!

Trump supporters: is this okay with you? I mean it’s your tax dollars.

What was he doing there, killing bengal tigers?

How much money per month will Trump be able to fund Donny Jr's prison commissary account? Anyone know?

And why must we pay as taxpayers for Donald trumps kid to travel?

Why are we paying for DONNYJR.S BUSINESS TRIPS?SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE RICH-LET THEM PAY FOR THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS TRIPS-THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WRONG FOR WE AMERICANS

That was the cost of the party in the big house where harvey weinstein and other hollywood people attended. I think you were there too wapo.

The trumptets spending 100k for business family thy acting like they own us all common ⁉️🗣🔈what hacks is this ❓lawless family

Why are we paying for that? He wasn’t elected to anything.

I can't wait until Mueller takes that smile off of TraitorTot's face. I absolutely cannot stand that piece of shit. On the plus side, the SunkistSultan will stroke when DJTj gets arrested. Can't wait!!🍿

😥😥😥

If it was a business trip, business should pay

Now do planned parenthood.

waste of $$

Obama spent more on kobe steaks

What a relief! I can't think of anything else I would rather buy even though highways are turning to gravel, bridges are unsound, cyber defense is decrepit, and emergency management can't keep up with disasters to which climate change has contributed.

Garbage !

I agreed the Secret Services should protect POTUS and family....but this is Bullshit trips for non-goverment deals is a conflict of interest..FOUTS takes trip for her role so does Ivanka..but this ass-hole does it for his own business FUCK DA!

DonaldJTrumpJr can't you afford to pay for the security for you and your mistress

Here is a Question ' What GOV. Job did Don Jr. And IvankaTrump Elected to?' Again to get free flights off taxpayer money? Oh that's right ' NONE', excpt be realDonaldTrump Offspring!!!

Becke_Davidson Security costs for Donny should go down once he’s in prison.

This whole First family is.....first to the gravy train trough for PERSONAL busine$$.....with a free pass from their own party. NO vetting. Heck, we have a prez HIDING his own tax records; AFRAID to disclose proof of net worth. DEBTS, (foreign) loan$, etc.

That's ruthfless⁉️😱 this family are worse than alibabah & his 40 thieves squandering our money for their own business advantage ❓O but GOP are so quiet sip say nothing unbelievable ❗️🗣🔈🇸🇴

🤮

Traveling on government business is one thing. But on private family business these expenses should be paid by the family/company involved. I want my/our money back.

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿

Trump Swamp...

What’s the taxpayers cost for Michelle Obama’s book tour?

KINGTRUMP PROMISED TO CLEAN THE SWAMP INSTEAD WE GOT HIS FAMILY SWAMP! Such a Corrupt Group. Corruption at Every Turn! Money, Influence Peddling, and Treason! DumpKingTrump MAGADUMPKingTrump MUELLER MuellerInvestigation WhichHunt ExGOP ExGOPer GOP FNC RESIST FoxNews

JasminLucci Where he was working to close a big Trump hotel deal that the CHINESE FUNDED ($1.2 billion) after Daddy agreed to help ZTE COMMUNICATIONS. There’s so much theft, graft & fraud going on with Trump it’s jaw dropping.

'....conflict of interest concerns.' In other words the apple does not fall from the realDonaldTrump Tree of Corruption!

When it’s Brought up that Trump is not taking a paycheck They should look at all the taxpayer money we have spent on gollf outing and his kids Business trips maybe when foreign dignitaries stay at Trump towers they should give the taxpayer their money back

Let us not forget the 25 million dollars spent on sending troops to the border in an attempt to sway the election. That's using tax dollars and our troops in voter fraud, another scam by Trump.

Can we see those document Seeing is believing!

And we're paying for that because...?

LockThemAllUp

Barron in the dome and the others have to pay it themselves ?

So what add up all Obama trips

How much did it cost to fly Obama’s MIL around? Curious taxpayer.

He’s a jerk but he is entitled to protection

Truly sickening !

Obama family 'costs taxpayers $1.4BILLION per year' (that's 20 times more expensive than ...

At least he went on business for America. Didn't here you bitching and moaning when Moochelle took all her trips with family and entourage for a vacation at tax payer expense.

How’s draining the swamp working for you?

Why are we supplying the SS and these grifters reimbursing the tax payers for security they would have had to pay for themselves?

Peanuts. Nice try. Keep digging. In the usual places. 😎

Good

All I have to say is...WTF? Will someone please reign this family of crooks in

We need to get this Jr in jail just to give the taxpayer a break... - Taxpayers’ cost for Trump Jr.'s business trip to India nearly $100K, documents show

Didn't care about the Obama's trips so SHUT UP!

And WE pay for this why?

Why do we have to pay for his trips? He works in the private sector. Stop this theft of taxpayer money.

nice

Oh he can just send me a refund check for the cost... with interest of course.

Over a Week and the Democrats keep finding more Ballots, BUT ONLY FOR DEMOCRATS, to flip the races.. Democrats have used Voter Fraud for centuries to win elections

These f$&king grifters make me so angry.

Don Jr said he would not accept Secret Service when his father took office. There are three Secret Service SUVs parked outside of his apartment 24/7 - I will resist telling you their location. The Trumps are grifters.

HAHA I THINK THAT'S FUNNY, CHECK OUT HOW MUCH IT COST TO PROTECT TRUMP'S FAMILY AND ALL HIS LITTLE ENTOURAGE IT HAS PUT 7% ON THE DEFICIT! IT'S COST MILLIONS AND MILLIONS JUST FOR HIM TO GO PLAY GOLF EXCLAMATION POINT CHECK THAT OUT

Perhaps but it seems that the GOP is only concerned about the taxpayer dollars spent on the travels of a black president's family, not a white president's family.

UNACCEPTABLE

That should satisfy those fiscal conservatives.

What was the return on that expense please?

Women in India formed a 620 kilometer human wall to protest against gender inequality in IndiaThe event was in response to outrage on two women entering a Hindu temple that, until recently, would not admit women of childbearing age. Well perhaps if they all stopped wearing those stupid outfits they would be taken more seriously. Fake !Most of them are Muslims,Pro Communists ,Christians who have no affiliations and affinity towards the deity .All this is paid media propaganda to dilute the Hindu culture .
