President Donald Trump’s weekly Mar-a-Lago trips carry a steep price tag for the Secret Service, and a new report says it’s likely Trump’s travel habits will hurt the Secret Service’s ability to investigate other crimes.
The Washington Post notes that the Secret Service this year requested an additional $60 million in funding to help protect Trump and his family, who have unusually elaborate living and travel arrangements.

While the county home to Trump’s ritzy Mar-a-Lago resort seeks reimbursement for security costs, businesses are also feeling the pinch from the president’s four “Winter White House” visits, a NBC News report finds.
Palm Beach County Mayor Paulette Burdick said she’s written a letter to the federal government asking to be reimbursed for $1.7 million in security costs. Burdick says the municipality still hasn’t received a response.

I recently spoke to someone I know who lives in Palm Beach County. He said local people didn’t much like Trump before he started all his political maneuvers – now they hate him !
Everyone should send this to the Republicans they know (at least, the Republicans who can read…….) Bolling’s already won the Herblock Prize, can the Pulitzer be far behind?
At Disney, when they punish employees, they are forced to work the Small World exhibit. In real life … we are forced to punish republicans by electing them.
