Secret Service Being Charged For Room Space & Golf Carts? Outrageous.

Looks like a good scam to me. Go to your properties and charge the secret service for it stays. Nice profit. So go as much as you can. I am sure the White House staff is getting lonely. Who is the chef cooking for these days?

If he wants to live like a potentate, he can do it on his own dime.

He's not just bad, he's egregious.

You don't think the Dmeocrats want him to keep using the US Treasury as his private slush fund, do you?

Now what is poor Pence supposed to do when the bombs start dropping all around him?

Actually, her trip to Florida cost us only $100,000: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4412394/Melania-adds-100-000-Trump-s-growing-travel-tab.html

but sure he will spread it around to other golf courses. Got to get those free commercials in. And hey if he can scam some more money off the taxpayer. He has 17 branded golf courses. Bet one reason he is going to mar a lago is they own a higher if not all of it and make a higher return.
