The Secret Service's financial strains just got a lot crappier.
According to USA Today, the president's government-funded security force had to pay $7,100 for "luxury portable restrooms" at President Donald Trump's resort in Bedminster, New Jersey. The high rental fees came during the president's vacation at Bedminster from August 3 to August 21.
"Leave it to Donald Trump to find a way to spend thousands of taxpayer dollars on a port-a-potty, " Brad Bainum, spokesperson for the liberal American Bridge PAC, told USA Today. "This man is literally flushing our money down the toilet."
This expenditure was in addition to the $13,500 spent on golf cart rentals during the president's Bedminster stay, the report continues.
