It's good to be the king.

Perhaps if this was something you were worried about you might have run a better candidate.

OR, maybe you shouldn't have VOTED FOR HIM instead of bitching at someone else. Whatever happened to taking RESPONSIBILITY?

Clinton would not need even half of the secret service budget Trump & CO is running up.

Report: Secret Service can't pay agents for Trump and his family - CNNPolitics

Fake news. With overtime, the agents are hitting the upper annual salary cap set by law ($160,300). The Secret Service is not running out of money

Yes it is. The SS asked for a budget increase to cover the costs and Congress refused. Some of the excess costs involve billings from Trump resorts for staff travel to his clubs, and rental of a unit in Trump Tower.

Trump is using his presidency to pump tax payers' money into Trump properties.

The S.S. budget was cut from $2.2 b to $1.9 b. At the same time, we added one more ex-President, Obama, with multiple homes and lots of family travel, and now replace the former President with a new one with more children (4 versus 2). To a Bolshevik, like you, this means Trump is at fault, as everything bad is his fault. But, to any reasonable person, there are multiple factors in this equation like protection for Pence and his family. The Cabinet and high level staff make up the difference.

As compared to Trudeau with the Aga Khan. Gee I don't see you on any message boards bitching about him.

Wow!

Judicial Watch: New Obama Travel Costs Bring Eight-Year Total over $96 Million

Judicial Watch: New Obama Travel Costs Bring Eight-Year Total over $96 Million - Judicial Watch

Worth looking at the entire article, but here is the last paragraph:

“The Obamas’ notorious abuse of presidential travel perks wasted military resources and stressed the Secret Service. Judicial Watch estimates that the final costs of Obama’s unnecessary vacation and political travel will well exceed $100 million,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. “President-elect Trump can immediately save taxpayers money by reforming presidential travel.”

Trump has nothing to do with paying secret service agents, but Congress does..

 

[BluesLegend]

Lets expose the twisted half truths of the lowlife filthy lying liberal media shall we, from the OP's own link...

Alles (the Secret Service Director) told CNN, "the problem isn't just related to the Trump administration and has been going on for many years."

Alles (the Secret Service Director) told CNN, "This issue is not one that can be attributed to the current administration's protection requirements but, rather, has been an ongoing issue for nearly a decade"

Alles (the Secret Service Director) told CNN, "42 people have protection in Trump's administration, which includes 18 members of his family" This vs 31 people who had Secret Service protection in Obama's administration. Trump has a larger family, OH THE HUMANITY /sarcasm.

This thread rates new day more liberal lies shocker.

Do you really want to compare how much money was spent on Obama's first 7 months in office versus the orange charlatan's ????

Perhaps Trump can ask Mexico to pay for that also......LOL

 

[BluesLegend]

Since this has been a problem for 10 years why didn't Obama fix it?

 

[BluesLegend]

OP you are FAKE NEWS

 

[Wry Catcher]

Already a thread on this stupid shit

I'd bet my home that if this was about Obama you'd consider it differently. If you were honest - which you are not - you would admit it.

 

[miketx]

Fake news post #3 today.

you realize this is based off a report from the SS director, right?

it doesn't matter. They will still protect the President, his family and all ex-Presidents. Just more fake media shit stirring is all it is.

You'd lose your shack. Dumbass

It's just something else for you loons to whine about. Everyday something, it's old

 

[Mr.Blonde]

Since Democrats don't believe in guns for protection and since everyone loves Democrats can't we just remove Carter's, Clinton's, and Obama's protection?

Exclusive: Secret Service out of money to pay agents because of Trump's frequent travel, large family

USA Today: Secret Service out of money to pay agents because of Trump's frequent travel, large family 2 Hours Ago | 01:01
WASHINGTON — The Secret Service can no longer afford to pay hundreds of agents it needs to carry out an expanded protective mission – in large part due to the sheer size of President Trump's family and efforts necessary to secure their multiple residences up and down the East Coast.

Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex'' Alles, in an interview with USA TODAY, said more than 1,000 agents have already hit the federally mandated caps for salary and overtime allowances that were meant to last the entire year.

The agency has faced a crushing workload since the height of the contentious election season, and it has not relented in the first seven months of the administration. Agents must protect Trump – who has traveled almost every weekend to his properties in Florida, New Jersey and Virginia – and his adult children whose business trips and vacations have taken them across the country and overseas.

"The president has a large family, and our responsibility is required in law,'' Alles said. "I can't change that. I have no flexibility.''

Alles said the service is grappling with an unprecedented number of White House protectees. Under Trump, 42 people have protection, a number that includes 18 members of his family. That's up from 31 during the Obama administration.

Overwork and constant travel has also been driving a recent exodus from the Secret Service ranks, yet without congressional intervention to provide additional funding, Alles will not even be able pay agents for the work they have already done.

The compensation crunch is so serious that the director has begun discussions with key lawmakers to raise the combined salary and overtime cap for agents, from $160,000 per year to $187,000 for at least the duration of Trump's first term.

But even if such a proposal was approved, about 130 veteran agents would not be fully compensated for hundreds of hours already amassed, according to the agency.

"I don't see this changing in the near term,'' Alles said.

Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers expressed deep concern for the continuing stress on an agency, first thrust into into turmoil five years ago with disclosures about sexual misconduct by agents in Colombia and subsequent White House security breaches.

A special investigative panel formed after a particularly egregious 2014 White House breach also found that that agents and uniform officers worked "an unsustainable number of hours,'' which also contributed to troubling attrition rates.

While about 800 agents and uniformed officers were hired during the past year as part of an ongoing recruiting blitz to bolster the ranks, attrition limited the agency's net staffing gain to 300, according to agency records. And last year, Congress had to approve a one-time fix to ensure that 1,400 agents would be compensated for thousands of hours of overtime earned above compensation limits. Last year's compensation shortfall was first disclosed by USA TODAY.

I'd like to see a breakdown as to what percent of their expenses went straight to Trump owned properties.

So would Robert Mueller who is taking a very up close, anal probe kind of way as we speak.

 

[SYTFE]

What a selfish piece of shit Trump is. Brace yourselves for a tax hike so the the government can figure out how to pay for Trump's SS and constant traveling to his properties.
