White House DELETES promo page for Mar-A-Lago after ethics concerns…
Dems and other Trump haters were accusing the White House of violating ethical standards for a page that seemed to be advertising for his for-profit venture, Mar-A-Lago. Now that page has disappeared!!!
Let the L.A. Times explain:
The State Department’s “Share America” website, which shares “compelling stories and images that spark discussion and debate,” published a blog post about the compound ahead of Trump’s April 6 meeting there with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
It doesn’t note the discussion and debate over whether the U.S. government should promote Trump’s privately owned club, which charges $200,000 to join.
The post describes the history of the Palm Beach estate, which heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post donated to the U.S. government in her will in 1973 – 12 years before Trump purchased it.
Now the page is gone, you monsters!!
The Trump administration deleted the contents of a State Department webpage promoting Donald Trump’s private club in Florida on Monday after it drew a wave of criticism from ethics and legal experts for using federal resources to boost the president’s bottomline.
The article was replaced with a statement that says “the intention of the article was to inform the public about where the President has been hosting world leaders. We regret any misperception and have removed the post.”
The blog post on the department-run ShareAmerica webpage, published on April 4, wrote gushingly of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort as a kind of national treasure.
Why won’t they let him make America great again!??!
