Wouldn't the Dems rather have Trump on the golf course then sitting in the oval office scheming to upset the Iranians, China, Russia etc etc... or exposing the hypocrisy of the Left and their media? On the golf course he is harmless.



On the other side maybe Trump actually needs all that extra SS protection because of the hate that the Dems and their media have buried Trump under. Iran has offered $80 million for his head. That so called comedian George Lopez said that he would do it for half that.



There are a lot of brain washed nuts out there and Trump deserves some recreation after kicking butt all over the world so who really cares how much it costs to protect him.

BTW, the SS budget for 2020 was completed last year., that's the way these budget thingies work. There is waste in that budget. Some $126.7 million extra in the budget will go for the 2020 presidential campaign, including the protection of major candidates, nominees, their spouses, and nominating conventions.
Seems Feinstein wants the fiscal year 2021 report done earlier than it would normally be done and Mnuchin is opposed to that.

I suspect every president has abused this privilege. I've heard stories of Bush having Air Force One turn around just so he could get a cheeseburger from a restaurant or something.
Oh yes, Trump's not taking his $400,000 annual salary really does add up. It adds up to a fraction of the $115,000,000 that he's spent on golf so far.

That said, do City-Data Trump supporters have any idea why Donald Trump & his administration are attempting to withhold the 2020 secret service budget until after the election?

Grifters gonna grift.

Trump railed about how much time and money Obama spent playing golf yet Trump spends double the time and money in less time while his grown kids travel around the world promoting their family business and killing animals on taxpayer dollars.

One of the first things he did was end the visitor's log. No records of who comes to see him or when.

I don’t care if any president plays golf.

Having said this, Trump took every opportunity to criticize Obama for playing golf and said he would not do so.

That Trump Org is the sole financial beneficiary of his penchant for golf is a conflict of interest and all the more reason for complete transparency.

No POTUS released Visitor Logs until The Obama Admin began to do so in 2009. The Trump Admin reverted back to historical WH practices.

Democrats care about spending on the right things.

No one wants waste when that money is needed elsewhere.
