Robert Reich: We’re Paying for Trump’s Lifestyle While he’s Doing Nothing to Help Ours

Secret Service spent $7,100 renting luxury portable toilets for Trump's Bedminster trip


Earlier this week we learned that the Secret Service has already run through its entire year's budget to protect Trump and his family. Now, we know where some of that money has gone.

The agency spent:

1) $7,100 to rent luxury portable toilets during Trump's recent vacation at his Bedminster golf club.

2) $60,000 on golf cart rentals at Trump's properties.

3) $12,000 for Trump to attend the Super Bowl.

These figures, of course, are small in comparison to what the agency has spent to ferry Trump's children around the world on business trips. For example, Eric Trump's junket to Uruguay cost the agency over $100,000. Other jaunts on the taxpayers' dime have included the Dominican Republic, Dubai, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

To anyone who voted for Trump, you’re paying for his lifestyle while he’s doing nothing to help yours.
