The P-E has his own private security and intelligence team. The Secret Service doesn't meet his "special needs". Who pays for it?

Does he still get Secret Service protection 24/7? Do the private and taxpayer protection double-team the guy who  is apparently doubly precious and doubly more worth protecting than anyone who ever served the country as prez before him? What makes him so much Specialer? Speshuler?

  • The Secret Service doesn't serve his needs Rosie because they're not paid and controlled by him (I assume this will continue).

    I suspect Trump has a host of nasty things in his (probably capacious) closets, and if that's the case then he won't want people trained to notice things and that he can't control hanging around too much.

    It's going to be very interesting to see how long he lasts.

    So far, he's set to be impeachable from pretty much his first day in office.  :)

    Touche MrWitch!. I had not once considered that. Of course that's it! Thank you for your thoughtful and informative reply and Happy Thursday! :) I know. There are variety of causes for the impeachment. From the moment he is sworn in and becomes prez he is a sitting duck. Donald Duck? Sorry. I couldn't resist! :)

    I heard he has already arranged to have the head of his private security team with him when he takes office and it will be tax dollars that pay his wages. It also said that he will bring in other members of the team and it's likely Trump will find a way to pay them with tax dollars. Right now it costs the secrete service $500.000 a day to rent 2 floors of Trump tower (guess who gets the rent money) and they will have to keep paying that whenever Trump stays there after he is in office. I just figure this next part - Trump has already said that he is not impressed with Air Force 1 because his jet is bigger and more luxuries so I figure when he takes office he will want to use his jet so it will have to be refitted with some of the things Air Force 1 has which will be expensive and paid for with tax dollars. Cheers!

    Childish, expensive and dangerous. If Trump gets to use his jet I'm sure he will find a way to have tax dollars pay for maintenance and the cost of renting a space for it at the airport plus the cost of extra security. Then after Trump leaves office his jet will be worth way more money because lots of tax dollars were used to add all the bells and whistles that Air Force 1 has. Were the danger starts is Trump might insist that his pilots are used but they don't have the military training that the pilots of Air Force 1 have and in a hostile situation they could make a fatal error. Cheers!

    Doofus Donny knows how to game the system and squeeze every dollar he can out of everything he touches.  Amazing that  so many people are willing to let him do whatever the he ** he wants to do isn't it? :( Thank you for your thoughtful and informative answer Nanoose and Happy Saturday to you. I wonder if there will ever come a point when the Doofus Donny supporters finally realize what they did and regret it?
