President Donald Trumps weekly Mar-a-Lago trips carry a steep price tag for the Secret Service, and a new report says its likely Trumps travel habits will hurt the Secret Services 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.
Trumps wife Melania lives in Trump Tower in New York with the couples young child Barron. Trump, meanwhile, flies down to his private resort in Palm Beach every weekend, which costs the government an estimated $3 million per visit.
According to the Posts analysis, the Secret Service wanted an additional $26.8 million to help protect Trump Tower, and an additional $33 million to be spent on the executive branchs travel expenses.

They will have full knowledge and control of our whole fricking government so the fata$$ can play golf every weekend in FLorida.
Didnt he complain about Obama playing golf in the D.C. Area?

That is his, and now the Republican party's
primary priority.
