The 'No TRUMP Act' Was Just Introduced in Congress

There's an art to coming up with legislation acronyms. The best known may be the USA PATRIOT (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act. And never forget the ACRONYM (Accountability and Congressional Responsibility On Naming Your Motions) Act.

The latest to be added to the list: the No Taxpayer Revenue Used to Monetize the Presidency Act, otherwise known as the No TRUMP Act.

The bill, introduced Thursday by Rep. Earl Blumenauer, D-Ore., would prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars to pay for events, overnight stays, food or other expenses at hotels owned or operated by a president or his relatives.

Blumenauer said he's long been concerned about Trump's refusal to divest his ownership stake in the Trump Organization. The issues have become more evident with reports of taxpayers footing bills for Secret Service and embassy officials to travel with Trump's children on a business trip and as government officials spend time at Trump facilities.

"It's a very real problem that he's further enriching his enterprises," Blumenauer said.

   Am not surprised, Trump is not a  patriot and his motives are becoming clearer.  When I first saw Trump running for president I was amused and thought he
just spouting off.  Now he scares the hell out of me.  I hope that he gets impeached quickly before he causes real damage.  For those who like Trump I am not
trying to annoy or start a flame war.  This week  should be interesting and hopefully the beginning of the end for our president.
