Secret Service out of money to pay agents because of trump's frequent (constant) trips. Also reportedly treats them like servants & they're fed up. But who's surprised?

Not meant as a comparison. Rather an illustration of how the trite 'treatment of the Secret Service' angle is used as a unsubtle and baseless means of character attack on virtually every candidate, and that there's always two sides to it (hence the HRC denial link via Politico).

I'm more annoyed at somethig like this:
Perhaps I'm just peeved because I had to see places like Breitbart spouting fake news articles of Grandma Robinson getting a "$110,000" government salary and lifetime pension, but I haven't seen them post about this.Always costly in manpower and equipment, the president's jaunts to Mar-a-Lago are estimated to cost at least $3 million each, based on a General Accounting Office estimate for similar travel by former President Obama. The Secret Service has spent some $60,000 on golf cart rentals alone this year to protect Trump at both Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster.
The president, First Lady Melania Trump and the couple's youngest son Barron – who maintained a separate detail in Trump Tower until June – aren't the only ones on the move with full-time security details in tow.
Trump's other sons, Trump Organization executives Donald Jr. and Eric, based in New York, also are covered by security details, including when they travel frequently to promote Trump-branded properties in other countries.
A few examples: Earlier this year, Eric Trump's business travel to Uruguay cost the Secret Service nearly $100,000 just for hotel rooms. Other trips included the United Kingdom and the Dominican Republic. In February, both sons and their security details traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia, for the opening of new Trump hotel there, and to Dubai to officially open a Trump International Golf Club.
In March, security details accompanied part of the family, including Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner on a skiing vacation in Aspen, Colo. Even Tiffany Trump, the president's younger daughter, took vacations with her boyfriend to international locales such as Germany and Hungary, which also require Secret Service protection.

remember: only 99% of scientists say it's a problem to stare directly into the eclipse. So it's an open debate.
get my point -- if you discount a source, don't read it and stay in that 5 minutes or so that will make you comfortable today --
dont make me explain

This was so predictable. The left is far more violent than the right.
Michelle Obama's mother. Barack's mother in-law.
I think it's pretty crazy if he's charging them full price to rent rooms at his resorts and hotels as well as charging them for golf carts that they use when they are on the course protecting him. At the very least he should be putting the golf carts on the house.
