Trump's properties are paid taxpayer dollars when Trump stays at them. We as citizens have a right to know how much of our dollars are being spent at Trump properties by the Secret Service. It's about transparency.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that Trump had his properties charge well below market rate which is why they use them a lot.

What is wrong with transparency
Where did I say that we shouldn't have transparency?
Get transparency.
I said I'll never understand the need to constantly bitch about the travel expenses of a potus and his family.

$3 billion (or so) of his net worth is the "Trump" brand.
I would assume the Trump brand has increased significantly more in value than the amount Trump has foregone in presidential salary.
What do you think?

Tex, I don't know about that. Brand could increase in value, sure, but could also have decreased in value. He's been accused of damn near everything in the book, been accused of being a racist, xenophobe, sexist, traitor, Russian agent, violator of an array of crimes....and that isn't an exhaustive list of course.
So I don't see how it isn't just as possible that Trump will take a net loss once his Presidency is all said and done.

I’d say you need to get more educated because you’re not correct.
That’s what I know.

Don Jr. has said that the presidency has cost his father loads of money.
How many new Trump branded hotels have been announced the past few years?

So Trump has a blank taxpayer check??????
Bet you have screamed when other Presidents have gone golfing!
You only like thoughts that agree with you??? Quite the intellectual!
I don’t really care what the President and his immediate family do while in office. However, I don’t understand why they should be protected for life. Nor, do I think we should support people outside of the immediate family like Michelle’s mom living in the White House.
But Trump has taken trips to his resorts while our economy is booming. The Obama’s were taking lavish trips to Africa and Michelle was renting out floors of 5-star hotels for friends and family in Paris....all during a terrible recession. It was the optics that bothered me more than the money spent.

Wrong board for this. It's only bad if the other side does it. Try and keep up

Some people griping on an anonymous internet message board about Obama playing golf, and I dunno, maybe a mention here and there on Fox News, is quite a bit different than an organized Congressional Democrat effort to make a political issue of it in the lead up to an election.

I thought conservatives held themselves to a higher standard than the liberals??? It is obvious Conservative reform means “it’s my turn at the trough!!!!!”

to disclose the Secret Service costs for the travel of President Trump and his family
Gee wonder if the SS protection carries a rather hefty tag because of all the fricking psycho TDS raging lefties looking to take Trump out?
Think before you post or better yet, post less...

It's obvious??? What sort of these "attacks" have occurred so far?

An illegal British citizen named Michael Steven Sandford, did attempt to shoot Trump. Sandford had wished to kill Trump to prevent him from becoming POTUS.

Sure, if you want to call what you bring here “tea leaves” feel free, but it doesn’t change the fact you are wrong son.
