Secret Service won't get $60 million more to protect the Trumps

"Relatively minor cost" set to break all records, you mean. You people whined endlessly if Obama took even summer vacation. "The golf course president!" they cried on Faux News and Hate Radio, even if the golf course was in Washington. But flying to West Palm Beach every weekend, promoting Donnie's golf course resort? No problemo!

 

There is more people for the SS agents to protect. Its simple math. ANd besides with how violent the liberals are, yea I would everything the SS to do to protect Trump.

 

Will ONLY AMERICANS used for these additional positions sought with this spending increase?

When did the LEFT start objecting to union government workers getting more pay and jobs?

Why does the LEFT hate the working men and women who would benefit from this additional investment? Are they not like the assassins who would fire through the body of the SS if that is what it took to assassinate Trump?

Do they know they are twisted and crazed with irrational hate? No wonder they see the Islamists as fellow travelers who share their hatred of America.

Alarming!

 

While they are only in need of the costly security for foreign trips because they are doing business for themselves? These trips are not exactly small jaunts to the gym or doctor's appointments. These are trips for the sole purpose of making deals and profits for their family and cronies. And you see no problem with that. Okay.

 

Did Reagan's family get the same protection? How about Cheney's? Bush 41? I know of no President where the adult children, or even grandchildren, were protected by the SS.

 

Do they ALL go to Florida every weekend with the Dump? Does he HAVE to go to Florida every weekend.....I thought the Repubs INSISTED that Obama could NOT get work done on his vacations so, according to THEM, Dump isn't doing a damn thing on ALL those vacations....boils down to Dump can't take the heat and needs more down time....(especially now )

 

Only temporarily.

 

Please show me the secret service policy that says they only get protection at certain times

 

Why are you missing the point? His parasitic family members are using taxpayer dollars to further their private wealth gathering agenda. Stop being so obtuse. If Michelle Obama had flown to Greece to open a spa as a private Obama family business venture on the taxpayer's dime, the right wing would have gone into convulsions.

 

Please show me where the secret service is required to protect the extended family? This is who they are supposed to protect, and did before Trump:

• The President of the United States
• The Vice President of the United States
• The President’s and Vice President’s immediate families
• Former Presidents, their spouses and their minor children under the age of 16

• Foreign heads of state and their spouses visiting the United States
• Major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses
• Events designated as National Special Security Events by the Secretary, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

And why should the taxpayer pay for the Trump kids security when they are doing Trump enterprise business? Trump brags about his private security firm, let him pay for it. Afterall, he is "really, really, wealthy", right?

 

Just brilliant ! The STOCK market goes up so it justifies increase in protection money for a BILLIONAIRE that is ruining the country, along with the DEMOCRATS and Republicans... This include the Vice president who is, as i type, pumping up a crowd on Duck Dynasty fans... With the rah rah speech... A new era in AMERICAN ENERGY supply... YAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHat a bunch on Knucklehead followers... But they deserve to live like lavish kings while the people that are dumb enough to prop them up dont understand just how dumb they look or just how manipulated they are...

 

The Kennedy's did.

 

Had the Obamas done anything remotely like that, and the rightwing would have squealed like a shoat with a gator clinging to its hind legs....But nothing Donnie does is unreasonable. He could double his fortune in the next four years, pimping his businesses to unsavory governments on Faux News, and would be widely admired by millions of his cult members.

 

1) Trump should pay (out of his own pocket) for the cost of protecting Melania/Barron and securing Trump Tower.

2) Trump should limit trips to Florida to no more than once a month.

3) The Trump boys should pay their own expenses.

Problem solved.

 

American taxpayers are being played for suckers by Donnie, but that's what he's always done. And his dad before him, who was hauled before Congress for ripping off taxpayers. He was also a master at dodging legitimate questions, by the way.

 

Sons are immediate family.

 

Never gonna happen

 

Oh I know.

It is one of those fantasies.

Like Trump ever understanding the responsibilities of the Presidency.

 

OMG. Their heads would have exploded, and I am sure they would have came up with even more disgusting things to say about her.

 

I was thinking the same thing as I was writing the post. Michelle Obama was trolled for eight years and it was disgusting.

 

"You people"? Really? I didn't whine or complain about minor stuff like vacations or travel. That trivial stuff is a blip on the radar as far as i'm concerned. But hey...that's just me. So, no apology necessary.

 

What? Trump said Obama shouldn't have SS protection? Not that I doubt you, but mind linking to his quote on that?

 

For sure, I know one poor pathetic creature who commented for 8 years on Michelle's clothes ( )...the jealousy and hatred was palpable...

 

And the truth is she is such a class act. Do you recall when even Sarah Palin was bashing her for advocating for healthy food for kids and for addressing childhood obesity? So ignorant and pathetic and a sad commentary on the lowest common denominator in this country.

 

It would be ironic if his swamping their budget led to tragedy.
