So he is using taxpayer money to fly them down there to chew the fat?

Has he even set foot in the Pentagon at least once?

Me.

We need to move the 2 of them out as soon as we can. Also, I wonder if Florida is having to pay as much for security as NY is.

maybe somewhere overseas?

Permanently!

As a note, the costs in NYC are way more than in FL. Thing is, they have to maintain the NYC part because Melania and Barron are there. And they also following Drumpf's 4 other kids around whereever they go (including overseas).

...and are too paranoid about leaks to hire more staff.

I mean, what do you want him to do? Look at himself in the mirror by phone light?

"Their bank accounts have undergone extreme vetting or they wouldn't be members! It's fantastic because we've hired the cheapest waitstaff from Poland, so they can't eavesdrop on members' private dinners."

(I can't remember where he wants to hire his Mar A Lago summer staff from, but he typically hires foreigners and for some reason Eastern Europe stuck in my mind. Apologies to Poles.)

They were the European (white) immigrants de jour at the time. Mainly refugees from then Communist Poland. Otherwise, he'd have to have hired undocumented brown people or used Union labor - and he wouldn't do that because he'd have to pay decent wages.

Do they have to pay for the glory of an audience with the king or do we taxpayers get to pay?

And wouldn't it make more sense to have the meeting at a secure location in DC?
