Fuck him...pull the entire detail and leave him to his own devices...won't be but a few days before someone on his private security force takes a run at him.

President Trumps trips on Air Force One to Mar-a-Lago have cost taxpayers an estimated $700,000 for each round trip. CBS News has estimated, based on a previous Government Accountabilty Office report, that each presidential trip to Mar-a-Lago costs about $3 million.
One purchase order reviewed by CBS News shows the US Secret Service has spent $35,185 on golf cart rentals for POTUS visit in Palm Beach County, Florida since the Presidents inauguration.

And I bet the taxpayers get billed $10 for every 6 oz tumbler of watered down Coca-Cola they get served.
