Team Trump really doesn't want voters to know how much Trump's Mar-a-Lago trips cost taxpayers
The Trump administration really doesn’t want the American public to know how much money the Secret Service is spending to follow Donald Trump and his family around to their various resorts and golf clubs.
As part of a plan to bring the Secret Service back into the Treasury Department,
Democrats are pushing for a cost disclosure requirement, and
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is trying hard to keep the requirement from going into effect until after the election.
Mnuchin says sure, that can be reported … starting in December 2020.
We know a little about what the Secret Service is spending on Trump’s endless trips to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster, numbers helpfully rounded up by The Washington Post:
- Trump has left the Washington, D.C., area to visit his own properties more than 50 times.
- Trump’s first four trips to Mar-a-Lago cost the Secret Service about $1.3 million apiece, with other government spending on those trips bringing the total cost to $3.4 million per trip.
- That would mean that Trump’s next 22 Mar-a-Lago visits would have cost the federal government $75 million.
- There was one month in 2017 when the Government Accountability Office estimated Trump’s travel costs at $13.6 million. “If spending continued at that pace, Trump would have exceeded Obama’s total expenses [over eight years] before the end of his first year in office,” The Post’s Carol Leonnig and David Fahrenthold report.
- The Secret Service spent $250,000 at Trump’s resorts themselves over a five-month period in 2017.
- Don Jr. and Eric Trump have made business trips to five countries, with Secret Service protection.

Remember when you assholes were screaming about Mic e O's SINGLE trip to Africa with her daughters?
sounds fair!
I would have gone with 6 months in jail, and 12 months probation with 400 hours community service.
To set pecedent that future acts will not be tolerated.
for spitting on a piece of MAGA asshat?
OK
SOUNDS FAIR
90 days is a lot tbh.
wow, republican activist attacks trump critics for having trump derangement syndrome
shocking
Probably will only serve half so 45 days which is nothing. My sentence would guarantee 90 days unlesa they worked out a 2/3 time served trustee which is usually reaerved for prisoners with longer sentences and tenure.
You've been well programmed NPC.
Hardened Chris thinks 45 days in jail is nothing
Please. If Trump spit in your face, you'd thank him
45 days in county jail is nothing more than a cup of coffee.
45 days in prison is something.
Cuck fantasies
What's the most time you've ever spent in county jail
I'm talking about saliva. What are you imagining?Cuck fantasies
President Trump's Biggest Sycophantic Cheerleader
Is this your dad Chris?
His dad is a Democrat who watches Rachel Maddow, he’s admitted as much on this site. Only reason Chris became a Republican was to cope with his daddy issues.
What if it wasn't a MAGA hat?
What's your experience with both?
Justice is blind.
‘Confused’ Trump thinks he should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize
awarded to Ethiopia’s prime minister
“I made a deal, I saved a country,
and I just heard that the head of that country is now getting the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country. I said, ‘What, did I have something do with it?'” Trump said. “Yeah.
But that’s the way it is. As long as we know,
that’s all that matters.”
