Secret Service out of Money Already

and has anyone defended THAT? Still no retort from the story of acid being thrown at the rally, right? Crickets. There is the hypocrisy you are famous for.
I might despise them but I don't want to emulate them.
Fiscally, this has always been my biggest problem with Trump. Not moving his family to the white house put a tremendous strain on the Secret Service, since they have to try and secure in one of the most expensive locations in the US in one of the busiest cities in the US.
I was a fan when Trump said he wouldn't take a salary, it was a nice gesture, but legally, he has to take it (though he could donate it to a charity, which he hasn't done). What I was surprised about, was I was sure Trump would be comping the government at his properties, if he truly was a put your money where your mouth as a fiscal conservative. It could have been a company write off for security/promotion (if he was on site). He gets free press each and every time he travels to one of his locations, so it would be smart, from a business sense to write the SS off as an advertising expense.
Not keeping his core family at the white house is fiscally reckless and selfish when it comes to protection and fiscal responsibility.

Nope. Sure hasn't. SMDH. Took two seconds to find it on google. Look, I don't like Trump much, but the disinformation out there about the man is astounding. People just believe the bad **** without searching for themselves to find the truth.

Fake news! Fake news! They rather run around with their hair on fire rather than researching the source and news. Prime example, Trump, still to this day, getting lambasted that he made fun of a disabled reporter. Totally false, but it's easier to chastise him than to hear the real story. Some is warranted backlash, but most of it is blindly piling on. Hell, I didn't care for Obama, but most of the stuff thrown at him was ridiculous.

and all the gullible guppies here swallowed it hook line and sinker
FAKE NEWS: Trump Travel Did NOT Bankrupt Secret Service
USA Today's breathless report, later said funding for roughly 1,100 agents working overtime in 2017 is not an issue "that can be attributed to the current Administration’s protection requirements alone, but rather has been an ongoing issue for nearly a decade due to an overall increase in operational tempo."
"The Secret Service has the funding it needs to meet all current mission requirements for the remainder of the fiscal year and compensate employees for overtime within statutory pay caps," he said in the statement. "The Secret Service estimates that roughly 1,100 employees will work overtime hours in excess of statutory pay caps during calendar year 2017. Our agency experienced a similar situation in calendar year 2016 that resulted in legislation that allowed Secret Service employees to exceed statutory caps on pay."
