And the amount being spent is not the worst of it - a lot of this Secret Service money is being spent on Trump properties and businesses themselves (to rent things like golf carts, elevator use, apartment space, hotel accommodations, etc.), essentially funneling millions of dollars in taxpayer money into the bank accounts of Trump and his family. Even though he has declined his presidential salary, he's still profiting off the presidency in a way we've never seen before.

Trump is the perfect example of a hypocrite, and his cult ignores it.
Similar to how they've ignored this thread.

I'm still waiting for the, "Trump has done more in 7 months than Obama did in 8 years, so it's fine", response.

The BS is Trump being a big spender on our dime!

Donald Trump's travel to his private club in Florida has cost over an estimated $20 million in his first 80 days as president, putting the president on pace in his first year of office to surpass former President Barack Obama's spending on travel for his entire eight years.

Secret Service has spent $35,000 on golf cart rentals since inauguration: report | TheHill
I bet Trump makes money off of secret service protection by charging the secret service for apartment, resort, and golf cart rentals.

Trump is double dipping off of the tax-payers.

The left has no room to be talking about what a President is costing taxpayers. Your clown cost us a far sight better than Trump is.

$20 Trillion in debt.

Twenty.

Trillion.

You have nothing to say.

Trillion.

Blah blah, we all pay for it one way or another whether it's SS or that idiot's 20 Trillion dollar debt.

Trillion.

Yes he is, which is why he goes to his resorts. Higher rates to charge the Govt.

State funerals for sitting Presidents are really expensive so I guess it might be better to increase annual spending limit.

Trump passed him a few months ago with going to FL almost every weekend.
