The Secret Service can no longer afford the Trump family lifestyle

President Donald Trump’s frequent travel, large family and unusual living situation is apparently weighing heavily on the Secret Service’s budget.  

According to a Washington Post report, the agency recently requested an additional $60 million in spending for fiscal year 2018. Nearly $27 million of that was to be earmarked for security at the president’s private residence at Trump Tower in New York, where first lady Melania Trump lives with their 11-year-old son. 
 
The Secret Service also said it needed another $33 million to cover travel costs incurred by “the president, vice president and other visiting heads of state.”  

The Office of Management and Budget rejected the request which could potentially force the Secret Service to scale back on other operations, like investigations into cyber hacking, counterfeit currency, financial crimes or missing and exploited minors.  

Providing Secret Service details for the first lady and the rest of Trump’s family, including his four adult sons and daughters, has also led to mounting costs. Although this level of protection is standard for the first family, the specific needs of Trump’s older children have attracted scrutiny.  

At a press conference this week, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said there was no hypocrisy here.  “Presidents always travel,” said Spicer. “The president, wherever he goes, he carries the apparatus of the White House with us. That is just something that happens.”

Trump is a billionaire so he should pay for his large families security.

He's fast becoming a liability to them, that is. You have a right to your choices but never the consequences. My thoughts are with you Americans.

Obama read traveling all over the world for diplomacy sake, President orange is travelling to play golf Mar A Lago every weekend.

He wants to bankrupt America and the security service.

His wife can't stand him. He's a rapist and child molester, and he represents that particular evil spirit. If you've got young children and you support this bloated demon, you will be dedicating your children to it.

Trump is the worst thing that have ever happened to America!

"In the first place, secession will be ill-advised, indeed impossible. Even if the East fights a war of secession and wins, it still cannot secede". These are Nzeogwu's words in this famous interview which happens to be his last.

Man a whole lot of people related to him and there's no way the same security measures that served under Obama could be used for him.

Nigeria's secret service is suffering under the burden of guarding Buhari and Aisha, their 7 children, spouse's and grandchildren, Buhari's hangers-on, Osinbajo and his wife and mother, the Osinbajo children, and their hangers-on like the Fowlers and Awolowos. Just that there is no freedom of information. #ShameOnChange
