In reply to the discussion: Secret Service out of money to pay agents because of Trump's frequent travel, large family [View all]Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)2. Why can't they
pay for their own security, since they brag about how wealthy they are? What a HUGE mistake the gop has made. We have an unqualified, childish president, his useless family of misfits all on taxpayer $$$. Making America BROKE again should be their mantra. Once they are convicted, hopefully at least SOME of their boasts about their wealth will prove true, so we can replenish the treasury that they are bleeding dry. Can anyone testify that they are WORTH all this protection? The gop proves on a daily basis that they do not care for this country. They stand by the worst example of a patriot EVER to occupy (part time) the WH. Is the Russian money STILL rolling in for the tRumps and the gop?

Maybe Navy operations can take a trim, now that they have 2 destroyers out-of-service.
