Trump was home and it was a Sunday. He had a better than 50/50 chance.
And now they want more money from the Dems to protect his fat ass.
Palm Beach asks for help paying for Trump security
One of the nation's richest enclaves is seeking government assistance to help protect its most famous resident as his security costs have shot up to $93,000 a day.
Palm Beach County has asked the federal government to help cover security for Donald
Trump, who lives at the private Mar-a-Lago resort and was apparently targeted for a
second assassination attempt Sunday at a
golf course nearby,
reported Bloomberg.
“We’ve had to heighten security ever since the campaign started with the former president, who is our resident here,” said Palm Beach County mayor Maria Sachs. “Yes, it’s disruptive and difficult, but it’s the price we pay to live in paradise.”
The U.S. Secret Service and other federal agencies often mobilize personnel from local law enforcement and other sources when Trump and others under their protection are on the move, and those measures could be seen Monday in Palm Beach, where officers blocked off key streets around Mar-a-Lago.
The blockades often frustrate many residents, who have expressed concerns that a second Trump presidency could lead to additional restrictions when he is visiting, and the mayor even
floated the possibility of closing Mar-a-Lago at a recent town council meeting.
