No, I don't suppose that he is to be expected to stop all business meetings now that his father is president. It's in our best interests to see to his protection no matter where he is in the world or what he's doing, now that his father is president.
But, since we did elect his father as our president, this is something we've opened ourselves up for. I for one wish we hadn't. It will be impossible to separate where our necessary and legitimate obligations as U.S. citizens to Trump's extended family lie to that of simply being on the hook and footing the bill for the enrichment of Trump's organization.
I sympathized with those on the right (and those in the middle, and yes even those of us on the left) who had concerns about issues of conflict of interests where the Clinton Foundation was concerned. For those of you who shared these concerns it's disingenuous of you to cast a blind eye to this fine kettle of fish we find ourselves in now.

Whether we like it or not, adult children of the the POTUS & Vice-POTUS do get protection from the Secret Service.
And that's fine. For a 2 day weekend, why is the hotel bill (alone!) nearly $100,000 to protect one adult?

The problem I have is Trump making money off the SS. If any of the Trump children take one of Donald's private jets, the gov't pays the jet owner (Trump) for the SS to travel. Another conflict of interest. The kids can only fly Air Force One if the President is with them.

So no security for the son of the POTUS?
Sure there should be security - but there's a reasonable limit. How many SS agents did he have to have for a weekend get-away, and why did the Embassy have to send 'staffers' to keep the agents company?
He is not the President, the First Lady, or a minor child of the couple. If he needs 'extra security' then let him pay out of his own pocket.

Is he now supposed to stop all business meetings now that his father is president?
No - let him go on as many "business meetings" as he pleases. Just pay out of your own pocket, and not the taxpayer's. It's that simple. We didn't elect him to the White House, he has no role in government, he should not be lodging on the taxpayer's dime for a $100,000 get-away weekend. It's that simple.

And can you name one time that Obama and his wife had to travel on separate planes and therefore increase the overall cost of the vacation by hundreds of thousands of dollars that you complained?
Did you complain about the billions of dollars Obama gave Iran?
Or the billions he spent taking out Khadaffi?
Or the billions he wasted on Obamacare?
If you had done all those things, your criticisms of Eric Trump would hold more substance. But you didn't. You let Obama do whatever he wanted.

Even if it was a business meeting, it wasn't gov't business. If it was personal business, it's a conflict of interest for taxpayers to pay for it.

It sounds to me like it was a business meeting. Not to you. To me, it does.
Case closed!

Were Eric Trump's travel expenses legitimate?
No, he doesn't work for the government. So his expenses - paid for by taxpayers - was not legitimate. Why is that so difficult for you to comprehend?

Were Eric Trump's travel expenses legitimate? Or did he go on safari and call it 'work'?

I'm not complaining or criticizing tax payers paying for a president, a first lady, or minor children's travel. So, if Trump, Melania, and little Baron want to go on vacation, I have no issue. The issue at hand is paying for ERIC TRUMP'S travel expenses. Your comprehension skills are seriously low.

Nothing.
But, since we are on the topic of American taxpayers footing the bill for the president and family, why have you never once criticized the Obamas for their record-shattering vacation expenses?

Once again, what does anything about President Obama, Mrs. Obama, and their children have to do with paying Eric Trump's travel bills? You are incapable of staying on topic.

I'll give Obama credit for covering up the biggest story during his Presidency - the Bowling Green massacre! How in the world he was able to hide it from everyone except Kellyanne Conartist is beyond me.

Calm down, self-proclaimed Miss Fairness of all Creatures Great and Small.
It has to do with the fact you never held Obama accountable for his mountain of lies. This is important.

What does ANY of that have to do with Eric Trump, and yes, if he was a minor, I would expect American tax payers to pay for some of his expenses, just like we did for President Obama's girls, President Bush's girls, etc.
Since the boards are ending, I sincerely hope you seek some help for your myopic view of the world.

You mean if he's a minor, American taxpayers should be footing the bill for his travels?
That is correct.

Obama is the only one who claimed he would forego taking vacations as president. Of course, he lied. But what else is new?
Did Obama ever tell the truth?

When did Eric Trump win an election or marry a president? He's not a minor. So, why are we paying for anything?

Well, only 1000 more such trips and they will catch up with the Obamas!
Godspeed!
