No money for Meals on Wheels, no money for health care, endless money for the lifestyles of the rich and infamous:
The U.S. Secret Service requested $60 million in additional funding for the next year, offering the most precise estimate yet of the escalating costs for travel and protection resulting from the unusually complicated lifestyle of the Trump family, according to internal agency documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
Nearly half of the additional money, $26.8 million, would pay to protect President Trumps family and private home in New Yorks Trump Tower, the documents show, while $33 million would be spent on travel costs incurred by the president, vice president and other visiting heads of state.
