Trump federal salary adviser quits post over executive order reclassifying workers
The executive order stripped job protections for many federal workers in a move that unions and Democrats denounced.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/1...workers-432507

Quote:
"I have concluded that as a matter of conscience, I can no longer serve him or his Administration," Federal Salary Council Chair Ron Sanders, a Trump appointee, wrote in his resignation letter to the director of the Personnel Executive Office of the President.

"[I]t is clear that its stated purpose notwithstanding, the Executive Order is nothing more than a smokescreen for what is clearly an attempt to require the political loyalty of those who advise the President, or failing that, to enable their removal with little if any due process," he wrote.


Trump named Sanders, who also served under the Bush administration, to the position in December 2017. The advisory group is responsible for providing recommendations to the White House on how best to tailor federal pay depending on regional costs of living.

The executive order, issued Wednesday, stripped job protections for many federal workers in a move that unions and Democrats denounced as an attempt to politicize the civil service.

Ballrooms, candles and luxury cottages: During Trump’s term, millions of government and GOP dollars have flowed to his properties

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...1be_story.html

Quote:
Trump welcomed the Japanese prime minister at Mar-a-Lago, in front of a towering arrangement of roses. The two could have met in Washington, but Trump said his private club was a more comfortable alternative.

“It is, indeed, the Southern White House,” Trump said, greeting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in front of the press.

For Trump, there was another, hidden benefit. Money.

At Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s company would get paid to host his summit.

In the next two days, as Trump and Abe talked about trade and North Korea, Trump’s Palm Beach, Fla., club billed the U.S. government $13,700 for guest rooms, $16,500 for food and wine and $6,000 for the roses and other floral arrangements.

Trump’s club even charged for the smallest of services. When Trump and Abe met alone, with no food served, the government still got a bill for what they drank.

“Bilateral meeting,” the bill said. “Water.” $3 each.

In all, he has received at least $8.1 million from these two sources since he took office, those documents and publicly available records show.

Donald Trump doesn’t deserve to lead our brave women.

John Cleese @JohnCleese

Jared Kushner says that Trump 'took the country back from the doctors'

We can broaden that statement

He took the country back from all those who were better trained, better educated and more rational than himself

Donny still owes El Paso—a city facing a coronavirus disaster—$569,000 for his 2019 rally

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/el-pa...133915716.html

To Donny, they're just "suckers" and "losers". They'll never get paid what they're owed.
