It would probably cost even more, but it would be nice if it was set up so the Secret Service would have to rent golf carts at fair market value from a company the President doesn't benefit from and ship them in for these events.

There was never a need for one. Let's hope that when the Dems retake the House in 2018, that they start working on enacting a law for such an entity.And Congress needs to start enforcing the STOCK Act against their own. And Citizens United needs to go away.UGH. I give up.

He's just demonstrating that savvy businessman stuff he brings to the White House. For years, Washington waited until the people willing to put their lives on the line for their country were no longer doing that before they shat on them.

Trumps sez, "Why wait until they're done doing the job. Time is money! Not many people know this, but I invented that phase, 'Time is money,' in The Art of the Deal."

My nephew, a strong Trumpanzee, is firmly convinced that Bannon remains loyal to Trump but is going to go after Jared and the Kids.

Actually, it's their boss's job, but being as that is Secretary of Designer Clothing Mnuchin, that's highly unlikely.

The Investigative MissionSince its inception in 1865, the Secret Service was created to investigate and prevent counterfeiting. Today the agency’s investigative mission has evolved from enforcing counterfeiting laws to safeguarding the payment and financial systems of the United States from a wide range of financial and computer-based crimes. To combat these crimes, the Secret Service has adopted a proactive approach, using advanced technologies and capitalizing on the power of task force partnerships.

The U.S. Secret Service has a pivotal role in securing the nation’s critical infrastructures, specifically in the areas of cyber, banking and finance. Other directives address the need to combat transnational organized crime that targets the citizens and financial institutions of the United States. In response to the globalization of technology- based threats, the U.S. Secret Service’s investigative mission abroad is growing as well, creating the need for a heightened overseas liaison presence.

Today, multi-disciplined forensics experts, investigative experts and intelligence analysts provide rapid response and critical information in support of financial analysis, infrastructure protection and criminal investigations.
