Since the number of protected trips is much higher under the Trump administration I think it is logical assumption that so have the costs.


Then there is the fact that on the last days of Trump's presidency he extended Secret Service protections to his family members... that isn't going to be cheap.
" But I don't think Obama's had resort property to funnel money from government agencies into Obama family owned businesses."

Did the SS stay at the SAME EXPENSIVE hotels obama and his family staid in when he went to Hawaii several times? NOTHING in Hawaii is cheap.

For the umpteenth time, Trump did NOT force the SS to stay at his places.

This is just another of hundreds of "I hate Trump and everything he did" thread.

TDS IS a MENTAL disease!

Well, it's like this. It's a good thing Trump donated his salary because his businesses profited big time renting out to secret service over the past 4 years.

The only salary Joe plans to donate is yours. His $400K salary is staying in his pocket.

The first thing he did when he became president was raise all the rates at his hotel and golf courses. He knew what he was doing. He knew how to legally get his hands on free taxpayers money.

Donald Trump cost the US taxpayer more than any other president AND he is still doing so with his requesting secret service protection for 14 members of his family.

So, I don't care what Biden does with his salary as long as he doesn't stick it to the taxpayer the way Trump and his family did.
