    Secret Service nearing spending limit for protecting Trump: report

    When the POTUS is constantly traveling to his golf courses, it entails extra spending.

    I wonder IF he will cut his own budget for the Secret Service. I am thinking NOT !

    Gosh, what a shame.

    Now, in the name of good government and fiscal solvency, will Trump be hiding in a closet until the next budget is passed?

    If you make yourself miserable trying to make others happy that means everyone is miserable.

    Some may dismiss this as "trump hating", but I disagree.
    Trump's spending is significantly higher that that spent on previous presidents.
    It is a quantifiable thing. You can measure it.

    A lot of young men in women in uniform make great sacrifices in order to serve.
    Trump wants a lot of other americans to deal with budget cuts to agencies that protect them.

    I think that Trump might want to set an example by reining in his lifestyle a bit while he serves his nation these next 3 years.

    We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

    Trump’s clubs charge $60K to rent carts to Secret Service as agency runs out of money

    I am sure this is NOT the half of it !!

    Can't wait for the Trump supporters to piss and moan about the next president blowing money on stupid crap like this.
