Thanks for this great work. I must admit, I’m shocked on numerous things, but 1 billion to protect the president at the 2028 Olympics seems outrageous.

I’m not sure it’s to protect him at the Olympics, so much as to provide overall security at the Olympics while it is in the U.S.

Hopefully he won't still be around in 2028! He must have many health issues that could facilitate his departure!

“The treasury” means Trump’s off shore bank accounts.

Thank you for your hard and accurate work. Did I miss it? Was there an allocation for that big beautiful Golden Dome? Will there be enough bathrooms? Toilet paper rationing? Or did he forget to stock it and the invitations will read BYO Stuff?

Inquiring minds want to know. I obediently await my invitation. 🤡

I’m sure we’ll all be rationing sardines or something ridiculous soon. But I’ll be sure to dig to make sure I don’t miss anything.

“An additional $300,000,000 will be added for law enforcement personnel costs and protection activities related to the residence of the President.”

So we’re paying an additional nearly $1 million per day to fortify his castle? Definitely not a dictator-type move!

This is incredibly scary. Basically, it eliminated or reduced protections for millions of Americans to protect the über rich. What's worse is that it does now to harm the environment and endanger more lives.
