Plenty of presidents have walked right up to the line separating official business from politics — or even stepped over it. With his planned Republican convention speech from the White House lawn, President Trump is blowing past it with a bulldozer.

, in his case a recorded address from Jerusalem while on a taxpayer-funded trip to the region. Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue talked up Trump’s reelection during an “official” visit Monday to a North Carolina farm with the president., civilian employees in the executive branch cannot use their titles when doing political work. They are also prohibited from taking part in any partisan activity while on the clock. The president and vice president are exempt from the rules.

It’s only the second time that a president will deliver his acceptance speech at the White House. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered his acceptance speech from the White House via radio to the Democratic convention that nominated him for an unprecedented third term. Her office said in a statement that she will be participating outside of normal working hours and will be speaking in her personal capacity as the president’s daughter.

In 2012, Kathleen Sebelius, Obama’s health and human services secretary, was cited for violating federal law prohibiting Cabinet members from engaging in politics on the clock when she called for the president’s reelection and touted the candidacy of another Democrat at an event she was attending in her official capacity.

In November 2018, the Office of Special Counsel found six White House officials in violation for tweeting or retweeting the president’s 2016 campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” from their official Twitter accounts. Most notably, the office recommended in June 2019 that White House counselor Kellyanne Conway be fired.

His campaign has bad credit. WeThePeople are paying attention. We know that his campaign is in delinquent payment status to cities for not paying their bills. So he's using our tax dollars to pay for his big ego-rally. HatchActViolation

Since when have Fascist dictators ever cared about laws? Remember, if Trump gets his way, the AP won't exist. Only OAN will (and maybe Fox if they ditch Chris Wallace). BenedictDonald FascistTrump PutinsPuppet WorstPresidentEver VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

Trump doesn’t care he’s on a mission from Russia 😼

Beep beep.

Meanwhile nine million Uighurs have disappeared, a seventy year old man was beaten by blm and blm demand reparations from who’re people starting with their homes. Since you so clearly support blm why don’t the ap start giving up their homes to blm?

Good! Blow that shit up Mr President!

UH, he lives there. Suck it.

Trump has a complete lack of respect for the country and everything about it.

“Change we can “! Sex is changed,bathroom is changed.

Ed Asner? I don’t believe it!

This was a conflict of interest from the start. There was no separation From business and politics He put his whole family in office Should have been stopped on day one

Shouldn’t this be labeled an opinion piece?

No repercussions as usual.

Guess Hatch Act can be chalked up as another toothless law that he ignores and gets away with it.

Biden's basement is in Delaware. Trump's basement is in the WhiteHouse.

The GOP and Trumps dont believe the Hatch Act applies to them. Or many other laws for that matter. Around March of 2021, they'll discover the hard way that isn't true. And they'll be in shock that the very judges they appointed to protect them.., don't. The judicial can't wait

Interesting that you use 'bulldozer' in the tweet but 'blurs' in the actual headline

It's not about policy or actions he plans on taking if re elected It's all about ratings. Smh

Cry more, libs

🤬🤬🤬🤬

Understand the ' bulldozer' was made in America.

Nonsense.

So this is our Law and Order President. More like 'do as I say not as I do'

I am glad we have such unbiased news sources. (Sarcasm)

The Media has NO rules or Morals - they will go down in a Happy Flush!

He's going to bulldoze Election Day too and then you babies can whine about him for another 4 years.

its a brave new world out there , stuffed shirts are gone, this Govt belongs to the American People, not the do nothing elected officials that lie their way thru terms. with this POTUS many things are moving foward

Pelosi set the standard.

Remember when the Associated Press was an unbiased news distributor? I do. Those days are gone, apparently. AP, join your friends...CNN, NYT, MSNBC.

The woman in white, she is the first female president in 2016. Her name is President Ivanka Trump.

trumpfiction🐂💩💩 emolument family💰⚠🚫

Given all the deadly mistakes and BS this seems bland. And where is the SOS speaking from?

Unfortunately, the president is a civil servant but not a federal employee. They are above the reach of the office of personnel management that they control. The problem is that, once again, he has eschewed norms of the office and decided to only do what is in his own interests.

So this is our Law and Order Presisdent. More like 'do as I say not as I do'

So did FDR. PS: he was a democrat.

'Safer at home.' Buzz off.

Didn’t FDR accept nomination in speech from White House?

They have no shame at all they think this is a popularity contest, oh wait the way things are going it might be.

Is this not illegal!?

The word you are looking for is kleptocracy.

Donald Sr. crossed it, then Don Jr. walked right up to it and snorted it.

But covid and social distancing...

Biased ap .. Are you angry ?

It's hard to uphold the conventions of your office when you don't understand them or have the intellectual curiosity to learn.

unbiased NOT

And no one is stopping him...the media amplifies his corruption as a coronation!

Please look into conservative camera crews arriving in kanosha TheDayBefore

And no one is stopping him...the media amplifies his corruption as a coronation! VoteByMail2020
