POTUS family members are allowed SS protection at all times. And the Trump family is bigger than the Obama family and only 1 is a minor. The rest are adults and have lives that take them places. Even if their dad wasn't the POTUS they would still have gone on a trip like this yes/no?

Why don't you complain about how much we spend protecting Baron when he went to school everyday? Or going to the mall to hang out or an amusement park or concert? Those are technically trips that spend taxpayer money on SS protection as well right? 

But I do get it. You're trying to turn it into an ethical argument and that is open to individual interpretation. What is not open is that they are entitled to SS protection where ever they are 24-7. The POTUS's family is a target no matter what and that's why they are entitled to that protection. 

Wouldn't you rather be reading about some trip they made vs how they were kidnapped and the country is being held hostage because they were not protected? That would be a political nightmare. 

They can refuse it if they want.  After all "they would still have gone on a trip like this" if their dad wasn't grifting POTUS.

But I trust no member of the Trump family from Don down has ever passed up something for free that makes them feel like they are rich or the chance to rip off some money from someone or something.
