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.

Hmmm. Since you are so obsessed with costs, can you tell us the daily costs to taxpayers to have the national guard still at the Captial nearly five months since the one time incident? We have more solders at the Capital than we do in the entire country of Afghanistan. So what are they doing there? A group of yahoos broke into the place and one of them sat at Piglosi's desk, and no price is too great to make sure that doesn't happen again, right?
