Over his years in office, President Donald Trump has invited many of his guests to his privately owned properties and has paid for their fees with taxpayers’ dollars.

Donald Trump has invited many important figures to his lounges such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ex-Prime Minister of Japan Shinzō Abe.
