The state senator who posted the comment should be forced to step down.
Agreed.

It is interesting that the SS are struggling with funds. I read earlier today that he's got 42 people under SS protection to Obama's 31 people and that Trump is taking trips more frequently as are all the other people he has under SS protection.

It adds up. The Obamas taking some vacations over the 8 years in office once or twice a year would never touch weekly golf jaunts and adult kids circling the globe, along with travel from anyone outside Trump's immediate family, so of COURSE they spend more.

Probably, he sure needed less than the your guy seems to need. Somewhat, yes, but some things are just required they attend, others not so much, I can see lots of improvement that could be done there. Now, who is going to do it, trump, nope, the GOP, nope, how about the Dems, nope. And there ya have it, enjoy your tax dollars at work.

Trump has traveled 41 times to his resort properties in FL, NJ, and VA.

It'd be more tolerable if he was traveling to those coal mines he alleges he'll revive or official state visits but he's funneling taxpayer money into his properties.

I'd like to see a limit set on how many vacations he can take on the taxpayers' dime.

Default Secret Service Can't Pay More for Agents to Protect Trump's Family

Report: Secret Service can't pay agents for Trump and his family - CNNPolitics

Trump has apparently already used up the federal allotment of funds for security expenses for himself and his family. According to a spokesman, the budget can't be increased so Trump and his jet setting family can take even more vacations on the taxpayers' dime. What a tragedy.
