Trump's lifestyle costing the Secret Service far more than other presidents

The saying gets old, but imagine if the Obamas had done this....

You had your chance to put forth a viable candidate.
You put all your eggs into a losing basket.
Now you have nothing.

Whine and cry. Y'all wear it well.

Funny, the Rs whine and cry an awful lot, too.

I heard 8 years of it.

Trump family's elaborate lifestyle is a 'logistical nightmare' - at taxpayer expense.

In New York, the city is paying $500,000 a day to guard Trump Tower, according to police officials' estimates, an amount that could reach $183 million a year.

Earlier this month, The Post reported that Secret Service and U.S. embassy staff paid nearly $100,000 in hotel-room bills to support Eric Trump's trip to promote a Trump-brand condo tower in Uruguay.

On Saturday, Trump's sons Eric and Don Jr., with their Secret Service details in tow, will be nearly 8,000 miles away in the United Arab Emirates, attending the grand opening of a Trump-brand golf resort in the "Beverly Hills of Dubai."

Even veteran agents, Wackrow said, are feeling the pressure of the “monumental” task, including manning high-security perimeters in Washington, Florida and New York, along with protecting family members’ private-business travel across three continents.

Community leaders are concerned by the spiralling security costs of protecting Trump and his family during his frequent escapes from Washington DC, and fears are growing that some local traders could be put out of business amid the air and land lockdowns mandated by the presence of a president who has promised to protect the interests of small-business owners.
