Security detail for Trump not Klinton
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/01/u...=politics&_r=0
In almost every way imaginable he's been a disaster.WASHINGTON — Congress would allocate more than $120 million to help cover the escalating costs of protecting the first family and Trump Tower under a bipartisan spending agreement that appears poised to pass this week.
About half of the money, nearly $60 million, is earmarked for the Secret Service, with most of the funds going toward protecting the president while traveling and security for Trump Tower in New York City, according to legislation being circulated on Monday.
Another roughly $60 million would be set aside in a rare provision to reimburse localities, like New York City and Palm Beach County in Florida, that have incurred “extraordinary law enforcement personnel costs” associated with protecting Mr. Trump’s residences since Election Day.
The additional funding, which comes after weeks of mostly behind-the-scenes lobbying, reflects the tremendous costs associated with protecting the lifestyle of Mr. Trump and his family. And it is likely to provide relief to those who have borne the brunt of the effort.
Security detail for Trump not Klinton
as are 40% assholes who approve
let me guess the republicans are assholes and the democrats are ok
>death threats against Trump and entire family 24/7
>harassing Ivanka on plane
>throwing chlorine bombs at Trump tower
>SS detail costs more than Obama's
LOL STOOPID DRUMPFKINS look how much money he's wasting on personal security! (why won't he let us kill him and his entire family WAAAAAH)
If liberals and their election ringers weren't a bunch of unhinged murderous psychopaths, maybe his SS detail could be a little cheaper.![]()
yes im sure donald trump is the first US president to face death threats. excellent point
No one is begrudging the president and his family security.
What should be annoying is the asshat has chosen to cost us all hundreds of millions of dollars above and beyond his predecessors, so he can live in a luxury resort, rather than the White House, and his wife chooses to live somewhere else to for their sham marriage to maintain the illusion that she gives a about him.
Why should my taxes go to pay for that?
Obama didn't have threats from racists? His family's ridiculous lifestyle (including all those trips to Mar a Lago and having to protect Melania in Trump Tower) are what's driving up the bill. He and his wife need to live in the White House and limit the trips to Mar a Lago to start. That's not unreasonable to demand.
That is the bajillion dollar question to everyone on the other side of the fence for any expense they disagree with.
That said, this is ing ridiculous. This is where the other two branches of Government need to intervene and say, "hey er, just because the last asshole and his man wife robbed the out of us so they could socialize with rich elitist celebrities that don't employ anyone and avoid taxes like Liberals avoid statistics and facts DOESN'T mean "When in ing Rome" and just because precedents are sent doesn't mean they need to be broken by the next Administration".
I know I took shots, fairly, at the last administration, but this is ridiculous. Does he deserve the death threats he gets? Not at all. Is he an idiot? Yeah, but no more or less than the last two. Obama, admittedly, was the smarter of the three and had better handlers. But the costs of transporting the POTUS the last 8 years was beyond reasonable...this...is ing insane. Let Pence convince him to parade around Dallas in a convertible and let the Cons show the Left "anything you can do, we can do better...except keep the blacks in perpetual slavery."
