Did the Trump entourage (and the secret service of course) pay for their baseball tickets at last night's World Series game?

Or do they all get in gratis?

My guess is gratis, but I don’t know. Years ago I saw Trump in an interview saying he goes out to eat in NY with a group of people, and a lot of the time the restaurants puts it on the house. Trump said it’s crazy, I can afford it, and yet I am the one they comp, and other rich and famous people too.

I bet they were charged, then refused to pay.

I would hope the government paid for all of them. The agents shouldn’t pay out of their pockets if it was part of their work duties, which it was.

Trump was asked to throw the first ball of the game, as other presidents have done. He declined. What a wuss!

The ball would have flopped to the ground like his dick tip 5 seconds into intercourse.

@LostInParadise He would rather grab pussies than touch balls.

@LostInParadise Trump’s refusal to toss the first pitch was probably the smartest move (very uncharacteristic) of his administration. Beyond sparing us the image of his flabby out of shape ass hurling a girly pitch, he avoided the GUARANTEED LOUD boos, hoots and hisses he most assuredly receives from any crowd not hand picked by his toadies.

I would hope they paid, but knowing Trump and Republicans they think the world owes them, talk about entitlement issues.

I would imagine that the President and his entourage always gets free tickets to sports games – no matter if we like him or not.

@ragingloli How do you know anything about Trump’s penis performance during intercourse?

In ANY public events, there are people who are put on lists, guaranteeing them free entry. I would think that any POTUS, and their visitors, would be put on that list…

This is an interesting question. The POTUS job is an interesting one. It pays a nice salary, gives you a place to live, and give you security. But there are some things the POTUS has to foot the bill for. He has to pay for his own personal meals…official banquets are paid for. His own food and lodging on vacation he has to pay for, but the taxpayer pays for his security. I would say that he probably didn’t have to pay for these WS tickets and that he was somebody’s guest. But it would be interesting if he accepted tickets when there was something going on in the government that could impact MLB directly. Then accepting tickets could be construed as being unethical….potentially influence peddling.

We all heard how he was treated at the game. When the fool turned down the first pitch proposal, I assumed he understood that he dare not show up at a public event where he hadn’t hand picked the crowd. Poor obtuse dummy. Thousands screaming “LOCK HIM UP,”.

Well. Technically, he paid, in one way or another. His ego definitely paid a heavy price…
