The Government “Suddenly” Gets Concerned With Overspending on the Trump Family

Apparently, protecting the President of the United States and his family is a massive burden on the government budget, and according to USA Today, it’s because President Trump makes so many trips. But where was this concern for overspending when the nation was racking up over Twenty Trillion Dollars of Debt?

Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles is saying that 1000 secret service people have already hit their federally mandated pay caps, and that “The president has a large family, and our responsibility is required in law,” Alles said. “I can’t change that. I have no flexibility.”

Apparently the problem is that Trump has 42 White House protectees and Obama only had 31. Therefore the world is ending and it’s all Trump’s fault.

Maybe the Media just had a delayed reaction. They're not quick witted, you know.

This is just the usual end of Fiscal Year (FY)stuff, the current FY runs from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017 so what was Obama doing from October 1st, 2016 to January 20th, 2017?

I’m thinking of moochele’s mommy who lived off our dime for 8 years - vacations and all. Along with the evil pos Jarrett and how about the boyfriend - I can’t even remember his name..the black dude that was barry’s friend?

Damn, people are simply nuts these days.

Start building tunnels like the one Obama had built for his trip to India. Should be OK.
