Half a billion dollars

I read today that the federal government anticipates costs of 500 million dollars to secure the Florida resort and trump tower. Not sure this includes Air Force one.

Does anyone else think this is obscene?

Not sure where they're getting that half-billion dollar figure; if Dangerous Don stays in office four years, we're on the hook for $1.5 billion in taxpayer outlays to compensate for the fact Melania Trump can't stand her husband.

Money well spent if it results in the acquisition of valuable & legally admissible intelligence definitively establishing Putin/Bannon/trump etc. as co-conspirators.

These funds (our tax dollars) need to go to Oroville Dam repair, among other infrastructure priorities. That asshole is profiting blatantly from his office, it's illegal.
