Are we paying for the Secret Service to secure his place in NYC and in Florida? My understanding is the president has to choose one place and

if there's another it's on the president to pay for the security. The tax payers shouldn't be paying the bill for the security at every vacation home a president owns. I think this first came up with Nixon and he had to choose one location.

      - I should clarify that Trump claims that any "profits" from foreign governments/dignitaries at his properties will be paid over to the federal - pmb Feb 13, 08:15 1
