Trump Bills Secret Service $40,000 At Mar-a-Lago Since Leaving Office

That is just how it works. How much do we pay for the other former
president's security?

As much as you may hate him, Nixon was the only former president to
waive off SS protection and hire his own, although the law allowed him
to have it.
In 1994 protection was reduced to 10 years
Obama reupped that law in 2013, making it lifetime again and the
wording is such that the only way it would be unavailable is if the
president was removed by impeachment (not resignation or an amendment
25 action).
They all get a million dollars a year for security and other
incidental expenses in addition to other percs. Obama spent $1,153,000
in 2018 according to a Congressional Research Service memo, the new
record high at the time.

Personally I think it is stupid. In 1958 when the original law was
passed former presidents like Truman may not have really had much
money but these days they are all millionaires shortly after they
leave office. They can afford their own security and office space.
Carter, maybe the poorest former president at ~$10M, costs us the
least ($400k or so)

Clinton billed the SS $10,000 a month for the housing at his new mansion in
New York. Approximately the monthly mortgage payment for the estate.
Share the blame!

The Bowz doesn't want to hear that. He is even in denial about Clinton
and Epstein being friends saying all the AP and UPI photos are
photoshopped.

FYI, moron, Trump was also his "friend." I doubt he participated in
the sex with children thing, as he's likely been impotent for decades.
Maybe he just liked to watch, sort of like the hookers peeing on the
Moscow hotel bed.
