Here again...majority of the cost is due to redundant security measures that secret service requires, some are understandable, but some are totally ridiculous and double or even triple redundancies!


If you are looking to place blame...blame the secret service!

Or is it just a canned response to things you have no response for?

They do.

What they don’t pay for is transportation, Secret Service time and expenses which are refilled to the Federal Government.

The problem with that is he has his equally complicate , corrupt Senate buddies who do not care about truth or the oath they took, they simply care about protecting him and their jobs. To be honest, I am appalled by these GOP do nothings, more than I am upset at Trump's acts. We know Trump is going to be a lying, conniving POS, but I expected more out of all of those Senators.

If Richard Nixon had these kinds of lackeys surrounding him, he would have never had to get on that plane.

Disgusting !

Sadly i would ask you to find a non hypocritical politician, or person in general. And I would bet you would have a hard time doing so.

I know this. But if they want to go fishing - pay your own security! You can afford it and probably deduct it off the taxes. You are off the clock. Waste of money. We pay the entire families travels, not just the potus. This is when they cry about the homeless asking for bread - I am irked at the waste- not to include allll the other money the govt throws away on stupid stuff.
It’s shocking and we allow it.
