Trump's the grift that keeps on grifting.

Secret service deploy The Trump tactic just don’t pay.

[danburnes]

Grifter will grift and cheaters will cheat and liars will lie. Unfortunately, gullible followers will follow.

Blame Mitch McConnell and the GOP senate. If they would have voted yes on his second impeachment for inciting the insurrection, this would not be an issue.

Weisselberg “stepped down” from the Scotland resort because the place is under audit

Basically his protectors are paying him to guard him. He's supposed to be a billionaire and he's worried about 10 grand a month from his protectors.

Cheaper on the tax payers to just go on and throw the fool in Federal Prison for the rest of his life.

[wildemperor]

This man oozes of shame! It’s about making that easy money for him

[RinrvUSA]

I'd gladly keep paying for him to stay on vacation.. Permanently.

Money well spent to keep him and his dangerous family out of our government.

[starlandsteel]

They need to take his monetary restitution..have him pay it all back to America. Lock him up.

[jovenusdivine]

OMG. What is next This is outta hand ... C'mon Courts do your job

[juangamundi]

Why we still paying for all this madness. He is filthy rich billionaire, he has said many times. He doesn't need no financial support or help from us the tax payers. He needs to pay his taxes just like everyone else does. Period.

[bokhans]

The only way to stop trumps con jobs is to give him free room and board at a correction establishment.

[karendarel]

Why does the taxpayers need to pay for secret service protection for Trump kids? THAT MAKES ME ANGRY.

[plentyofpaper]

Will the Secret Service be put in a situation where they need to rent prison cells for Trump's security?
If so, how much will our prison system charge them?
