| Feb 2, 2017 at 20:58 | comment | added | reirab | It's also worth noting that all of the cited sources are referring to the President-Elect, not the President. They are referring to when the Secret Service was protecting the entire Trump family, including himself, at Trump Tower prior to him taking office. So, no, the sources don't check out unless you can find more sources saying that they're still paying that much to protect Trump Tower when Trump himself is not there. | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 19:15 | comment | added | DasBeasto | So is the "double the endowment for the arts" figure for the cost of Trump + Trump's Family or for Trump's Family excluding Trump himself? Because the way I read the original post is just Melania, then you refined quote seems to say "Melania and family, not including Trump", but the numbers seem to say Trump and Trumps family? | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 18:51 | comment | added | Mason Wheeler | "The Secret Service has not had to protect the adult children of a president-elect in a long time, Wackrow said." Is that because we haven't had a president with adult children in a long time (since Bush Sr, right?) or because they haven't needed/wanted Secret Service protection? | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 18:27 | comment | added | Pace | I'm confused which of these costs are for NYC and which are for the federal governement. Why would NYC be paying any extra cash? Wouldn't this security be completely provided by the federal budget? | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 17:42 | comment | added | Jon Raynor | Are more secret service agents required in this scenario that normally living at the White House? It would be interesting to compare Obama's security detail versus Trump's in regards to size and cost. | |
