At the time, critics pointed out that it made little sense for the president to fly hundreds of miles back and forth across Europe to fit in a couple sleepovers at the for-profit business he owns, and that it was patently obvious he was doing so to bring publicity and a cash injection to a course that has lost more than $1 million every year from 2014 to 2017. But apparently the White House was unencumbered by such ethical concerns, because Vice President Mike Pence\u2019s current trip to Ireland will include a similar scheme to line the president\u2019s pockets.  <\/p>\n<p>Pence, who arrived in Ireland on Monday after Trump decided to stay in the U.S. to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2019\/09\/02\/politics\/donald-trump-hurricane-dorian-golf\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">play golf<\/a> at his Virginia course, will be staying at Doonbeg during his visit, despite the fact that it makes no logistical sense, as his meetings are located 180 miles away in Dublin and will require him to commute via plane.
