While the coronavirus may be the latest plague to envelope the news, Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to infect more and more people.
The latest example is a proposed bill in California that would prohibit state employees from staying in Trump owned hotels.
These people are complete fascists and resemble something you would expect in a third socialist state.
State lawmakers in California are considering a bill that would prohibit state agencies from spending taxpayer money at any of the hotels owned by President Trump or his family.
The proposal, which was introduced by Democratic state Assemblyman Evan Low, would bar employees of any state agency from spending money at a Trump hotel while traveling for work.
“Public officials, at any level, should not profit off the constituents that they were elected to serve and represent,” Low said in a statement. “No branch of government is above the Constitution, and this legislation will ensure that California taxpayers are not further exploited by Donald Trump’s violations of the emoluments clause.”
While the text of the bill does not specifically mention Trump by name, the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the only president in U.S. history who also happens to be a hotel magnate. If passed, the ban would apply to state agencies, the legislature, the judicial council and the University of California and California State University systems.
“This bill would prohibit a state agency, as defined, from paying, reimbursing an employee, providing a per diem allowance, or contracting for the cost of lodging, procuring a good or service, or any other expense at a lodging establishment where the owner, as specified, is the President of the United States,” the bill reads.
Only one California state worker has booked a stay at a Trump hotel through the state’s contracted travel agency or its online booking tool since the start of 2016, according to the Department of General Services.
A California Public Employees’ Retirement System employee stayed at Trump National Doral Miami in April 2017 for a conference at the hotel, CalPERS confirmed.
The ban would apply to all state agencies, the Legislature, the judicial council and the University of California and California State University systems.
California has limits on how much it will pay for hotel stays, which for most of the state is $90 per night. But there are higher limits for more expensive areas and employees can file excess lodging rate requests for more expensive rooms.
An entry-level room at the Trump National Doral over a weekend this coming April costs about $400 per night.
The proposal, Assembly Bill 2020, isn’t Low’s first restriction on paid state travel.
He authored Assembly Bill 1887, a 2016 law that prohibits the state government from paying for travel to states that reduce LGBT protections. The California Attorney General’s Office has added 11 states to the “banned” list since the law was passed.
The modern day Democrat Party is determined to ruin anyone who questions their authority.
We can NEVER let these horribly selfish people run this country again.
