Quote for the Day:

At Secret Service headquarters, the travel bills in his first few weeks were causing significant discomfort: The agency was going to burn through their $74 million annual travel budget for protective duties far too quickly. Trump’s preference for visiting his own faraway properties wasn’t abating. Fearful of how they would cope, the Secret Service had asked the White House budget office in March for an emergency injection of another $33 million. An internal document explained that the increase was necessary because senior officials’ travel was “extremely variable, difficult to predict and to plan for in advance as many protectees’ travel plans are unknown with limited time to prepare.” The Service budget request didn’t mention that the Service had never made this claim before the forty-fifth president’s arrival—nor that Trump was the person giving them limited time to prepare.
