All Trump Kids Are Skiing In Aspen, Guess How Many Secret Service Agents with them & Cost!

This is so wrong!!



All The Trump Kids Are Skiing In Aspen This Weekend, Guess How Many Secret Service Agents Are With Them?

Written by Truth Examiner (21 hours ago)


The three oldest Trump children are heading west this weekend.......................

There will be 100 Secret Service agents accompanying the group, according to The Aspen Times.

U.S. Secret Service agents had already spoken to local authorities in advance of the group’s arrival, and a local law enforcement source said that the Aspen Police Department was told they would not have to provide any assistance during the trip.

The cost of the trip is unclear, but it will likely be even more than the reported $3 million bill that Donald Trump racks up every weekend he heads down to Palm Beach.

And it will likely all be covered by taxpayer money.

The U.S. Secret Service signed a contract last week for more than $12,000 with the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club for rental ski equipment and clothing alone, so we can only imagine the full cost of the trip.

Maybe all the Trumps should all be obliged to stay at the WH on weekends, at least until a reasonable budget is passed.

Since they want to turn everything to vouchers, let them lead by example...

Take the Bush and Obama years, average the secret service costs per year, adjust for inflation and that's what Trump gets per year for secret service. Above and beyond, he pays for out of his own pocket.
