Donald Trump has been president for three years and we don’t know how much is taxpayer money is spent supporting his family’s lifestyle. Wonder why that is?
The expenses appear to be so eye-poppingly unflattering, in fact, that releasing Secret Service expenses for the Trump family’s protection has become a point of contention in Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s effort to re-relocate the agency at the Treasury Department. The Secret Service was moved to the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11 after a 150-year run as part of the Treasury.
Why? Well, the most obvious answer is that Trump and his clan’s presidential lifestyle has likely been very expensive for American taxpayers. Trump alone has made more than 50 visits to his properties since taking office, according to the Washington Post’s count. CNN that, by its tally, Trump has spent more than 333 days as president at his own properties, nearly one-third of his presidency. That, the Post notes, puts Trump on a trajectory to far outspend Barack Obama’s presidential travel.
