I'd like to see some evidence of this


A simple google search provides numerous results to wade through.

And I’m aware that any reporting or data provided by me would be met with the upmost scrutiny.

So if you are genuinely interested, choose a source that works for you.

Ok, I've googled it and haven't found anything. Can you help me out here? There's nothing showing he forces meetings to his property and what I've seen the costs of these meetings align with standard gov't rates. I may be very well missing something. I'm just asking you to back up your claim, nothing wrong if people scrutinize it.

Try “do Trump hotels benefit from govt visits” or some variation of that

Literally pages of articles.

I just don’t have the time to engage in all that back and forth.

Musk can look into it all he wants but in fact if they are inside trading, laundering etc what are we going to do about it? Most likely nothing.

Don't ask about the man who lost $1B+ in net worth to be President and take no salary as he does so.

Ask about the people who become millionaires over the course of "public service".

I’m not saying government hasn’t stayed there but you make it sound like it’s a forced scheme to benefit Trump. I’m seeing his revenue from his hotels 2017-20 was approximately 2.6 billion dollars. The estimates from what government paid in that time frame is 6-13 million dollars. Everything I see is based off government standard rates. Also it’s his property and he lives there, not unthinkable he has meetings there often

GSA contracts and Foreign diplomatic visits should be considered.

There was a lot of concern around Trump refusing to divest from business holdings prior to taking office, which is more of an ethics/ conflict of interest conversation.

Granted, it’s not the same category as illegal insider trading. Much of Congress seems to be doing that. And I’m not saying there shouldn’t be oversight on that. The SEC should handle that.

It's pretty easy to figure out.
We just have to find the evidence.
I hope Nancy is first in line.

We should look into how normal voters are becoming millionaires for voting a specific way in a Wisconsin election.

This is what I wanted to know more than anything. Point out the Ds and Rs that are abusing the system. Somebody is going to have to be made an example. Its the only way to curb the full on abuse they are taking advantage of.

List them fricking all.

They are definitely stealing. Congresscritters sit on the boards of NGOs that are funded by the taxpayer. Some of the money used by lobbyists to bribe congress was tax money given to the lobbyists by congress.

They own or partner in companies that take government money but produce nothing like California's rail disaster or Solyndra. Congress gives money to NGOs who then buy their books.

DOGE has proven that trillions have been spent with no record showing the money was actually spent on its intended purpose. This "missing" money is how the politicians get rich by stealing from you and me.
Wives and kids of congress members. Just one big kickback scheme. Daddy votes to grant some NGO billions of dollars, that just happens to be ran by wife/kid. Big guy has to get his 10%.

DOGE needs to look at Musk



What would you have them look at? Are you insinuating his automobile or rocket company are a sham? Because the stock market, despite the liberal media rhetoric, still values Tesla far more than most other automakers combined. And Space X manages to rescue Nasa's fubars quite often.

Enlighten us please.
