They were high rollers before, now that THEIR fingers are in YOUR wallet, let your imagination run wild...and you'll probably still be shocked when the bill comes in

Barely a month into the Trump presidency, the unusually elaborate lifestyle of America's new first family is straining the Secret Service and security officials, stirring financial and logistical concerns in several local communities, and costing far beyond what has been typical for past presidents - a price tag that, based on past assessments of presidential travel and security costs, could balloon into the hundreds of millions of dollars over the course of a four-year term.

I recall you complaining about someone having a government paid for $20/month cellphone...

What elaborate lifestyle, JP?

the fact that there are two residences going on for another couple of months (NYC & DC?)

You DO know that when he's at even his FL home, he's working and doing meet and greets with foreign dignitaries and interviewing more cabinet members?

However, I don't see you complaining that BO's rental property in DC up the street from the WH with concrete WALLED barricades around it that neighbors are already complaining about AND the Chicago home he owns on a cul-de-sac is blocked off from the public completely are BOTH protected by Secret Service (which is also given to him for the rest of his life when he travels everywhere, including vacations to Hawaii.

about the latest celebrity shenanigans. Most of these folks I wouldn't recognize if we were the only two people in an elevator. For all I'd know Kid an Chris could be siblings. There are other worlds out there besides the unseeable.
