We should still protect him no matter what, but send him a bill for the excess payable when he's out of office. If he knows he's racking up a bill he'll personally have to pay out his own pocket later, maybe he'll think twice about frivolously gallivanting around on a whim.
I agree, but his and his family's excessive trips are creating a burden. He doesn't have to go to FL or NJ every weekend. The trump org supposedly agreed to do no foreign business deals while he's in office, but his sons are traveling all over the world scouting out opportunities.
Don't forget that for the first ~6 months of the Administration, Melania was living in NYC while Trump was living in DC.

I wonder whether he is gouging the US Government on prices for room, board, and any modifications necessary for protection.

But I know, I know, just trying to be optimistic about it. $400k is something.
I believe he will outspent Obama's 8 years of travel costs before the end of the year.

Knowing the Donald, when that bill comes due, he'll conveniently declare bankruptcy for the nth time!
care to address the topic or is that you can't think of an anti-Hillary/Obama come back at this time to deflect?
Here is the topic. I realize liberals are so eager to post anything even remotely hurtful to our President that you cant even bother to look to see if another liberal already post the same damn thing 3 hours earlier, with 40 replies. I mean, c'mon..common sense. Dont get so snippy.

and again you resort to ad hominem attacks because the subject matter is irrefutable. Perhaps if Trump hadn't spent years claiming he would take no vacations and excoriating Obama over his liberals would be less inclined to jump all over the topic.
Double-ironically, he is doing this mostly on properties he owns, and the Secret Service has to spend money at those resorts. So while he is busting the public budget on expensive chocolate cakes and golf carts for the Secret Service our taxpayer dollars actually flow into his personal portfolio.
Trump is charging our government for covering him by making money on the golf carts, the rooms, every aspect. When he says he will donate his salary, he must roll over laughing in comparison to the money he's making.

um, where is the ad hominem attack? I simply asked people before they post a thread, look thru the forum to make sure it has not already been posted. I even said "please" alright?

Him wasting money has not a darn thing to do about Liberal or Conservative... its a plain and simple fact the man is wasting American's money to promote his brand, send his kids on business trip, and the taxpayer is paying to protect them as they do so.
Anything related to Trump business they should be MANDATED to hire their own security, or the Secret Service choose security for them and BILL THEM FOR THE SECURITY.
Trump should be made to Pay for the Security every time he visits a Trump property, and pay all the expense for all the Security and everything they need. He should have to Pay for the Use of Air Force One for every time he has used it to visit a Trump property.
He should have to pay for all the money his wife cost, for the time she stayed in New York, because the Government Provided them Shelter... they PERSONALLY Chose a personal option, and they should pay for it.
They need to pay back the government for every Penny it Spent to protect his wife and kid in New York, and every penny to protect his kids and their travels.
I hope Mueller can uncover every bit of Treason and Collusion, every bit of Money washing, for him and all his kids. And then uncover the corruptions with everyone he has hired.
How could America have sank so low to put a low life swindler and who is a belligerent imbecile who is also race bias and a bigoted no integrity having foolish megalomaniac in every aspect in the Whitehouse, a true clown, who has no sense of political decorum and no public sense of decency and has no respect for the Nation, and one who has insulted this nation on the world stage and done so multiple times on a weekly basis.
It insults this nation to a level it may take us decades to recover from the damages he has already cost this nation. He should not be allowed to stand within 50 feet of an America Flag. Certainly not on a stage with flags behind him... it insults the Flag as the flag represents the integrity of America. .
