Depending on how you want to state this, it could that the Secret Service budget is busted because Obama’s maintaining two homes, rather than because Trump is maintaining two or more.

The S.S. budget was cut from $2.2 b to $1.9 b. At the same time, we added one more ex-President, Obama, with multiple homes and lots of family travel, and a replace the former President with a new one with more children (4 versus 2). To a libtards, this means Trump is at fault, as everything bad is his fault. But, to any reasonable person, there are multiple factors in this equation.

and Michelle’s various entourage travels to Africa, Spainish resorts, and beyond some including 60 family and friends cost nothing.

“I’m sure everyone is getting paid. It’s not like Obama spent everyday at the Whitehouse.”

And let’s not forget the “cast of hundreds” the Wookie had to help her try to make her “ass like a government mule” body look presentable.

Thanks, is there a list somewhere of the Fraud’s 31 or Trump’s 47?

Guessing Michael and his mom and sundry family accounted for some. Did Reggie Love qualify?

You left out Trump’s wife. Does Melania have immediate family?

Wonder if any of Trump’s exes are covered.

Trump and his circle are threatened with harm daily by unhinged loons. As a taxpayer I am willing to pay for what it takes to protect them all, and liberals in the media have no right to complain. This is partly their doing.

Are the VP family members included in those figures?

I’m seeing articles like this one dating back to February.

Wonder if this latest is completely fabricated, as the earlier ones seem to be questioning why EIGHTEEN Trump family members (that would include Melania, to the poster to whom I responded) are receiving SS protection.

This article indicates that Trump is moving about to keep information and conversations confidential, away from the deep state. It is making them mad.

So reduce the welfare and Obamaphone budgets, and give all the USSS agents a 20% raise for the BS they put up with from the Libscum.

You're right, so that's two more - Pence and his wife. I do not believe any of the Pence children are being guarded, but former presidents are. Obama and his wife are another two. The two Bush presidents and Carter, so that's another six. Brings it down to a more understandable figure.

They just either need more people to do it, or allow those who are doing it to continue to get paid by raising the compensation cap.
