Trump's "6-Day Florida Getaway" will cost taxpayers $1.4 Million JUST FOR Law Enforcement

'Make It A Permanent Vacation!' Trump Slammed For 6-Day Florida Getaway

Trump's latest six-day escape to his private Florida estate has become a lightning rod for public fury as Americans struggle with surging costs of living and economic stagnation.

The president's retreat to the golden sands of Palm Beach comes at a time when many households are reeling from inflation, rising food and energy bills, and shrinking economic security.

The optics of a head of state luxuriating at a private resort while ordinary citizens tighten budgets strikes many as tone-deaf and emblematic of deeper priorities.

Reports by federal watchdogs and local authorities reveal the true cost of Trump's so-called 'vacation.' According to the sheriff of Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the daily overtime bill for local law enforcement, mobilised to protect the president and secure the surrounding area, reaches as high as £182,000 ($240,000). County commissioners approved a request for £37 million ($45 million) to fund expected visits through November, acknowledging the financial burden is far from over.

STFU on his little sojourns. But no such luck.

The character "Cholo" (John Leguizamo) is running off at the mouth, thinks he's riffing, but it's all loud-mouth braggadocio nonsense.

"Riley Denbo" (Simon Baker) takes a breath and says "ARE YOU DONE?"

"Cholo" replies "I'm NEVER done, baby."

So yeah...we're paying for Trump to sit on his ass for six days and play King at Mar-a-Lago, but no...he won't shut up for five minutes the whole time.
