You mean like the Bush or Reagan ranches or Biden's Delaware and other properties or any one of Obamas many properties? Or are you saying Trump is the only one in history?Depending, among some, on whether you like who wins, and who loses
And where does this tax money get spent? In offshore factories making Bradley's?
@RangerRay appears to be correct ....

As opposed to billionaires using their own properties to conduct government business on the taxpayer's dime? Discuss
The Secret Service spent nearly $2 million at Trump properties - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Trump's presidential grifting had a real cost to taxpayers: nearly $2 million to protect the Trumps at their own properties.www.citizensforethics.org
The Government's Bar Tab at Mar-a-Lago | Trump, Inc. | WNYC Studios
Spending taxpayer money at Mar-a-Lago is a such a "headache," the State Department got a special credit card for visits to the president's private club.www.wnycstudios.org
But we'll see if that changes during Trump Time 2.0.
Taxpayers have now paid for Trump to visit Mar-a-Lago 100 times - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington
Trump hit an important milestone as he returned to Florida over the Thanksgiving holiday: 100 visits to Mar-a-Lago in just 1,041 days as president.
Quite the extrapolation from someone receiving a million bucks of campaign funds for an interview. That's quite the stretch trying to compare the two. Maybe you could find some less biased articles next time.

How much rent/user fee did Bush, Reagan, Obama or Biden collect from the government use of those properties?

No idea, but they used those properties a lot. And they are still using them for Bush, obama and soon biden. Besides, if the House and Senate thought it was out of line, they would have passed a law. They haven't. So it would appear it's considered the cost of guarding the POTUS. but that is no matter right? It's Trump so it's OK to complain about him and totally ignore all those that came before. Like,the meme says, quite the stretch taking an article about Winfrey and Harris campaign funds and applying it to the cost of protecting the POTUS and hinging the whole thing on the single word 'billionaire.' Sounds like someone else is unhappy about Trump winning.
I think an eyebrow or two being raised when someone in power makes money via his businesses by directing government spending to said businesses is warranted and normal. This was brought up last time he was president.
Regardless. Protective services and staff have to stay somewhere. It probably makes sense to have them stay on Trump properties that also happen to be his businesses. But he profits.
Imagine a PM here owns a chain of hotels and happens to live in said hotels and directs his staff and details to stay at those places. In the USA that sort of stuff is more acceptable here than there. The kickbacks most politicians make is crazy but also seems acceptable to the point that no one in that orbit really wants to scratch the surface lest they all get caught up in it.

Change PM for POTUS and it certainly seems to be one of the big criteria for this thread.Also, that would depend on whether the commenter likes or hates said PM

Trump doesn't think a strong black woman can pay her own debts.
He thinks she needs to be rescued by a white man. I'm literally shaking rn.
Lol, an amusing troll, but he has more than a few of his own campaign debts to pay first. He has a certainly notoriety for screwing vendors.

Good idea or no, the high bar for a Constitutional amendment will be impossible to achieve. The last one was in 1991 and there has been a lot of water under a lot of bridges since then.

In a decisive policy shift, former President Donald Trump has announced plans to advocate for term limits on members of Congress, aiming to curtail prolonged tenures and promote legislative turnover.During a recent...econotimes.com
So this is actually a good thing. I suspect he may find resistance across party lines though to this idea…

I don't know... Americans might be ready for a change.
Senators or Representatives who fight it might find their "safe seats" not so safe next election.

Two-thirds of both both houses of Congress plus ratification by 3/4 of the states is pretty tough.

I suspect it's more along the line of showing her on how to screw over those people to whom they money to .
That has got to be a conflict of interest. I know that there probably haven't been issues in the past, but Who knows what could happen in the future now.
