ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

The recent reporting of Pence and the Air Force staying at Trump properties – miles away from their actual destination – highlights the ongoing corruption of the Trump presidency. 



Here is the text of a letter I sent to my representatives in Washington.  I urge you to do the same.

Dear Senator/Congressman:

Trump’s shameless profiteering from being President is deplorable and unacceptable.  He is putting millions of taxpayer dollars in his pockets unethically by having government officials, representatives and employees stay at Trump-owned resorts and properties.

This behavior, only one item on a long list of improper, unethical and illegal behavior by Trump, must stop now and never be allowed to happen again in future presidencies.

Congress must pass legislation requiring all Presidents and Vice Presidents to totally divest themselves of all personal holdings and place the proceeds in a blind trust. The President and Vice President, actually nobody other than the trustee, should know how the funds are invested.  Unfortunately, this would not take effect until after the 2020 election.

As an interim measure, Congress must pass legislation that takes effect immediately prohibiting the US government and any of its branches, departments or agencies from spending money at or with a property or company that is more than 50% in total owned by a sitting President or Vice President or a member of their immediate families, for example parents, siblings, children, children of siblings, and the equivalent in-laws.

I would urge you to introduce and/or support this legislation.

Sincerely yours,

Robert D Flach
