A caller on the Thom Hartmann show suggest the Secret Service be placed on a strict budget... and gee, if it can't afford to pay for Melina to stay in NY... or for Trump's constant trips to FL... TOO BAD.

But how many times did we hear the Orwellian Right complain about Obama's trips... and yet are silent about this BLATANT waste of taxpayer money?

If a president can afford his or her own ss detail, we should not have copay.

It needs to be means-tested. Government is doing too much here.

Trump KNEW the consequences that should he win the election... the White House was the presidential residence. Let little Baron finish out his school year in NY... and after that the Trumps will have to pay for any NYC SS protection.

She has capitulated already, as demonstrated by her White House luncheon yesterday.

They'll all travel to Mar-a-Lago every weekend soon.

Did she make a public statement to that effect?

And no, they'd not be off to FL every week if there was a strict budget.
