I seem to recall that he ran up quite a tab with NYC for guarding his third main sqeeze and their son, and hasn't paid it.And Obama, bush, and the Clintons, and carters have also charged secret service rent for protecting them as well..........Once a grifter always a grifter

This year Donald Trump has billed the US Secret Service more than $40,000 for a room at his own Mar-a-Lago resort for his own security detail, it's emerged. Although he left office in January, Trump receives security protection for life as a former president. However, records obtained by the Washington Post reveal he's been charging the Secret Service $396.15 every night since 20 January until at least 30 April for a room that acted as a workspace for agents.
It's unusual for a past president to bill the Secret Service such a large amount, and there aren't other examples of former leaders doing so to this level in such a short space of time.
In comparison, when he was veep Joe Biden charged the Secret Service $171,600 to rent a cottage in Delaware between 2011 and 2017; that's around $28,600 a year. As president, Biden has not charged the Secret Service.

Weren't Trump supporters the ones trumpeting how little he was costing the tax payer because he wasn't taking a salary or something?
