Tiffany Trump Vacation Cost $117K In Car Rentals - WTF ... you can buy luxury car

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4740690/Tiffany-Trump-s-Roman-holiday-cost-taxpayers-100K.html#ixzz4qWczBQbb

...

Tiffany Trump and mom Marla enjoyed free stay on friend's yacht and reduce-priced Roman hotel suite during Italian getaway - as taxpayers paid $100K on car rentals ALONE for First Daughter's trip

Official government records show three payments were made by the State Department to a car rental agency in Rome on July 18 totaling $117,489.44

That pales in comparison to the $1,956,949.73 that was spent at the same agency back in May during President Trump's 48-hour trip to Italy

Two days later Secret Service agents arrived in Portofino to meet Tiffany Trump as she disembarked from a two-week yacht trip on the Tyrrhenian Sea

The First Daughter and her mother Marla Maples were guests of their good friend Chahrazad Rizk, who is the founder of TEC Interior Design, on Mirage IV

Once in Rome, Marla stayed in a reduced-rate hotel suite at the Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & Spa, which she posted photos of to Instagram

Tiffany is now back in the United States and will begin law school at Georgetown in September

walked out, proudly and on camera, with ten billion in suitcases and stated they were stealing the money, 50 million Americans would cheer them on.

They would say "well everybody cheats , right!"

Squandering our hard earned tax dollars on luxuries for pampered billionaires. That's just not right.

and that the cost was only for the SS expenses.

Actual costs for kid and ex-wife aren't our responsibility - any more than I can bill my employer for my daughter's care and feeding (above and beyond my salary).

I always got the impression that she may be a little light on the "educational abilities." If she did that on her own, I grossly misjudged.

I kinda think this is their idea of PR to the little people: by trying to make her vacation sound frugal ie the 2 weeks on a friend's yacht and the discount hotel. Why mention that twice? She took pictures there also. Slumming? Did she take pictures on the yacht? You'd think. It smells funny and is most certainly weird.

If one's parents make a significant "gift" to a university a lot of standards seem to get waived.

I was willing to cut Tiffany some slack until this: she may be the overlooked Trump offspring, but this trip seems to be her making up for lost time.
