The president spent $115,000 of taxpayer money today on jet fuel and amortized maintenance costs so he and his adults sons could fly from Camp David to his for-profit golf course in Northern Virginia and back.

And that was considered unacceptable by the people that are mute on what Trump has done.

Trump just doesn’t care and likely never really has. It is about money and power to him. My bet in that once the Electoral College officially confirms Biden as President, Trump starts playing golf every day and likely only take a break to pardon proven criminals or outright traitors.

14. According to the Secret Service website

Nov 2020
By law, the Secret Service is authorized to protect:
  • The president, the vice president, (or other individuals next in order of succession to the Office of the President), the president-elect and vice president-elect
  • The immediate families of the above individuals
  • Former presidents, their spouses, except when the spouse re-marries
  • Children of former presidents until age 16
  • Visiting heads of foreign states or governments and their spouses traveling with them, other distinguished foreign visitors to the United States, and official representatives of the United States performing special missions abroad
  • Major presidential and vice presidential candidates, and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election
  • Other individuals as designated per Executive Order of the President and
  • National Special Security Events, when designated as such by the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security


So all of the Trump kids will lose their SS protection at noon on January 20, 2021, except for Barron, who turns 16 on March 20, 2022.
