I could have sworn I read BJ Clinton is charging the Secret Service.

The Billionaire donates $400,000 a Year to various Government Agencies. That should cover the Hotel Bill.

Mere pocket change considering Obama's taxpayer funded international junkets to five star hotels.

The price we pay for Trump's Secret Service protection is part of the price of a free society for allowing those with Trump Derangement Syndrome to run free.

At the end of 4 years, Trump will have foregone close to 2 million dollars in salary. But hey, the ‘Trump’s doing this to get rich’ narrative is to good for the left to pass up, regardless of the facts.

Peruse later.

For economic illiterates (DemoRats), there is a term called “opportunity cost.”

That’s the lost income someone would have had if they had done something else other than what they actually did.

In this case, if Trump provides free accommodations for Secret Service at his properties, and if he generally has full occupancy, he is LOSING MONEY in order to do so - because he could have rented those rooms out at market rate.

Dems are such shallow thinkers.

Trump deserves to charge for the rooms.

No government agency can accept goods or services for free. It is the law, and it has been for a long time.

And where were they with Hillary's rentals?

I remember reading Biden charged rent and then swam nude in front of female Secret Service agents.

Do you remember he offered his property in FL for the Economic Summit for free? It was not allowed.

It's probably the same here.

Of course the Clintons were homeless until they bought in NY so Hillary could take a senate seat at the end of his term.

The Trump hotels MUSt charge for the Secret Service stays.

Why hasn’t anyone asked why.

Imagine having a Secret Servcie detail of between 100 to 200 people, who have the kind of luggage that must be secured and INSURED by the hotel business?

After providing that kind of security for the Secret Service Security, do you think the hotels are making very much IF ANYTHING as profit.Many surrounding floors and rooms must be kept vacant of usual custom.

Try baby sitting arms, ammunition, radio com devices and their doubly redundant back up equipment. Plus the Secret Service travels with weapons that we can’t even talk about here, just a phone call and seconds away from the locus where they might be needed. And it all has to be secured and kept at the ready inside a hotel where the Secret Service is staying, along with a ready roll out capacity.

I am surprised those hotels do not charge the Secret Service more. The fact is that they have to at least break even, like any business would.

Cause that’s how much the rooms cost? Seems pretty simple.
