Trump's constant trips to Mar-a-Lago have Palm Beach mayor thinking of raising taxes to cover costs.

Courtesy of Fortune:

Palm Beach, Fla. Mayor Paulette Burdick says that using local law enforcement to protect President Donald Trump during his frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago estate "means the local taxpayers will have to bear the added burden of being part of the security for the president of the United States," according to CNN. 

"It will either be cuts or increase in taxes," Burdick told the network. Palm Beach's sheriff's department told CNN that it costs roughly $60,000 in overtime per day when the president is in town, even with a Secret Service detail. CBS reports, based off figures from a similar trip by former President Barack Obama, that Trump's first three visits to Mar-a-Lago cost about $10 million in total.

We of course have also sen reports that protecting Trump's family still living in New York is costing that city as much as one million dollars a day. So I guess we might expect taxes to increase in that city as well.

So much for cutting taxes and putting money back into the pockets of Americans.

Unless of course those Americans are members of the Trump family that is.

    His hands look thicker than hers, but note who has the longer fingers.

    Why protect him? He thinks he's so damned wonderful, let him fend for himself as well as his family.

    Does little donnie pay local property taxes? Probable not.

    they should send him the bill for the extra security.

    His latest lie:

    "The Democrats made up and pushed the Russian story as an excuse for running a terrible campaign. Big advantage in Electoral College & lost!" Trump tweeted early Monday, as news coverage on the Russia allegations dominated the morning's cable news.

    "The real story that Congress, the FBI and others should be looking into is the leaking of Classified information. Must find leaker now!"

      I'm not sure about the Florida place, but his NJ golf course pleasure palace is considered agricultural land because they mulch some trees when they have to be cut down. Very expensive land otherwise but, for Trump, practically nothing in property tax because it's a "farm!"

    Aw look at that fake couple. Fake boobs hanging out of her $10,000 made in China dress. Fake hand holding. Fake smiles. And just think, for a million or more a day, we get to wallow in their putrid shadows until the GOP wakes up and gets them OUT!

      I usually don't comment on "boobs," but the third wife seems to have a pair that wax and wane just like Sarah Palin's. Some time ago there was a photo of her wearing a soft pink demure-looking blouse and her "boobs" seemed much smaller, more normal for someone of her build. Maybe she uses the blow-up set for weekends at the Florida place.

      Sad to say, Beaglemom, the sorry little stick figure aka Melania has had poisonous implants surgically stuck in her body in order to please der fuhrher. Are you the only person who has not seen her nudie, er, "modeling" photos?

    Someone must think he will soften his image if he holds hands with Maleria. Nice try, too little too late. This marriage was over years ago. He cheated on her when she was pregnant. I am sure that was alright with her, so long as she had the "little dividend, assuring her a paycheck for many years"

      Have you noticed that she usually walks several steps behind him?

      I noticed it again when they landed in FL Melanomia and Baron were walking behind him like second class citizens.

    I have yet to voice my complaints to my representatives regarding Trump incurring excessive travel and security expenses.
    I am familiar with the corporate practice to do business or persuasive golf outings to entertain and impress. This excess is unacceptable especially from this president slashing budgets for things that benefit all.

      Stephen>"Hawking said, however, that he saw signs of hope for the world in the rise of women to powerful positions in public life"
      " "If we factor in high-powered women in Europe as well, such as Angela Merkel, it seems we are witnessing a seismic shift for women to accede to high-level positions in politics and society.

      "But there may still be a gap between those women achieving high public status and those in the private sector."

    Assuring her a paycheck for life. Like the other two. It must cost plenty to keep their mouths shut. They do know the truth.

    Just think, three women COULD bury that pathetic excuse for a human if they weren't such money whores. Country over money? Never! Those three don't seem to be any kind of familiar with self esteem, pride or dignity.

    There is something wrong with any woman (or man) that could actually bring themselves to suck his dick.

    How much money do you suppose Fred paid out to pay for his embarrassing special little boy's many blunders?

    Seriously. How many abortions do you think the oh so xtian Trumps have paid for?

      Donnie bragged to Howard Stern how he wanted Tiffany aborted but Marla wouldn't. Dumb Donnie went for the shock value never considering how it might affect Tiffany. At least those Christian Conservative voters are good with it.

    Her big plastic boobs are supposed to hide that weird pot belly of hers. And she's supposed to have been a 'model', uh-huh.
    The press should ask her when her next one's 'due', as she's obviously 3-4 months pragnet. Oh, and also ask who's the daddy.

    What TINY HANDS he has! Look at them, he cannot even wrap them around hers, which seem YUUUUGE!

    That said: the city/town of Palm Beach should use eminent domain on Mar Al Lago, and pay him what he claims on his tax statements what they are worth, and then turn that into some type of public golf course. That would get that grifter fandammily outta there, and the citizens could live in peace and quiet again!

  13. Paulette Burdick is NOT the Mayor of Palm Beach. She is a Palm Beach County commissioner and was recently elected Mayor of the County. Basically an honorary title.

    So how does melanoma get to Florida on the weekends? Does she fly to DC and fly down with him or are we paying for her to fly by herself from NYC? And let's talk about costs no one is mentioning. Mar-Lago is on the water so how many coast Guard and naval assets get tied up when he visits? Not going all James Bond here but I'm sure they are using technology to monitor below as well as above the waves. All this for the hypocrite who criticized Obama for golfing and said he would be staying in the white house to get things done.

    Since he is making money with his “Winter White House” let him pay for the extra security !!! I hope the citizens of Palm Beach protest.

    Does Melanomia fly on a trump plane from NYC to DC and charge the taxpayers, more $$$ for the trumps.

    Also it has been two months, I don’t see that Melanomia is earning her salary as first “lady”. We aren’t paying for photo ops.

    1. No more Winter White House.

      He's now calling it the Southern White House, indicating that after winter is over he'll continue to weekend there.

      He's normalizing his excesses and indulgences at taxpayer expense.
