The point is that Queen LaMelania can get her ass down to the WH or the Trump's can pay half a billion to the government to run security and business at the Towers.
. Trump could pay it, and I know that drives you libs crazy... lol
Did any president pay for secret service?
Trump is not taking any pay
Hopefully kick start the economy
and you want him to pay for security he did not ask for but is required to have?
and if his wife or children are kidnapped and held for ransom of some political, military kind, that endangers the country or the world.
No, won't happen
If his is able to pay 1.5 billion or another president is not, does not matter.
The president and his family, where ever they are or go has to have security, and trump and melania will have security for life, in the white house, trump tower, mar largo or anywhere else.
Secret service might find some way to reduce expenses, but they cannot cut the safety of Trump, his family or their homes.
Trump had security. If the Secret service don't think it sufficient, that is on them not the president.
You want to change things??? go to congress and get it passed. No one of sound mind would make a president pay for his own protection, regardless of how rich or poor they are. President's family are not prisoners of the white house nor do they have to give up everything they own, whether it is on a blind trust or not
Obama, Reagan, Nixon, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Hoover, etc............. their property and family had security, now you want to put them and their homes at risk by not paying???
All presidents since 1842 have had secret service, before that guards and personal body guards, military, but not a named agency, but it was paid for by the government.
No person should be elected if they have family or property and should be trapped in the white house except for official trips????
Make Obama and others pay for their expensive vacation and planes and just limit them to a few guards and a car?? Nice try
Not Trump's choice, not his responsibility
