[link removed] [[link removed]] John, we need to talk about what's happening at Mar-a-Lago.
Before his first term, Trump swore he’d have no involvement with his businesses as president. Turns out, he made over 500 visits to his own properties, funneling taxpayer money into his businesses.
His second term is no different—he’s already made six visits to Mar-a-Lago in just the last two months.
All these visits do not come cheap: a 2019 GAO report estimated that each trip to Mar-a-Lago costs taxpayers $3.4 million .
Meanwhile, while Trump is profiting from taxpayer spending to protect him while he golfs at Mar-a-Lago nearly every weekend, he’s also inviting corporate business interests to visit his properties, lining his pockets and filing his political coffers.
His political operation has been holding dinners at Mar-a-Lago where business leaders are invited as guests – and are asked to spend $1 million to reserve a seat or to pay $5 million for a one-on-one meeting.
John, let’s be clear: this isn’t just Donald Trump going home for a weekend. It’s a scheme that conveniently raises money for his political ambitions and puts money into his personal business coffers all at once.
Trump has publicly emphasized cutting down on government waste, fraud and abuse while “working” from Mar-a-Lago on the taxpayer dime. That’s deeply ironic and problematic.
This kind of corruption and hypocrisy should outrage *every* American. And if you’re just as furious as we are, then we need you to take action.

John, there’s yet another troubling layer to all of this:
Mar-a-Lago is a national security risk.
We learned during and after Trump’s first presidency that he would use Mar-a-Lago as a place to store classified documents, meet with elected officials, political figures and international leaders—with much less scrutiny than at the White House.
The promise of access and less intrusive security measures at Mar-a-Lago allows members and guests to gain inappropriate and unfettered access to the president, while also lining his pockets.
