President Donald Trump is Insaaf (2023) EP 2 Hindi Web Seriesbankrupting the Secret Service.
In an exclusive interview with USA Today, Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles said that more than 1,000 agents have already hit the federally mandated caps for salary and overtime allowances that were meant to last the entire year. That depletion of Secret Service funds is due to the high cost of protecting a family the size of Trump's and the number of trips they've taken, Alles told the publication.

For starters, Trump's Secret Service orbit is much larger than former President Barack Obama's.
The agency has to protect 42 people with Trump in the White House, including 18 of his family members, compared to just 31 under his predecessor, according to USA Today. That's an increase of about 33 percent.
The Secret Service has tried to stuff its ranks with a 2017 hiring spree, and to an extent they've been successful: the agency has hired 800 new recruits.
The problem, though, is that 500 agents have left, meaning they've only bolstered their ranks by 300 members. It's like filling up a cup with a crack at the bottom.
The president travels a lot, usually to his golf clubs and estates in Florida, Virginia, and New Jersey.
Trips to his Mar-A-Lago estate in Florida have raised the most eyebrows, especially after the Center for American Progress Action Fund cited a Government Accountability Office report that claimed the president's trips to the estate cost taxpayers around $3.6 million.
Politifact rated that claim only "half true," since the estimate isn't based on a Trump trip to Mar-A-Lago, but an Obama trip to South Florida that the GAO figured would cost about the same. The government office may well be right, but the exact cost of Trump's trips south is unknown.
That said, you can rest easy betting that those trips cost a few million.
Included in those many millions spent protecting the president at golf clubs is the $60,000 the Secret Service has spent on golf cart rentals. Casual.
Trump family members who (theoretically) don't participate in politics every day still spend a lot of their time crisscrossing the globe for business and pleasure.
The prime examples are his eldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric, who now run the family business, and often fly to different parts of the globe so they can be at this or that ribbon-cutting ceremony for some new Trump property.
For the Secret Service, this is not cheap. The agency recently spent $100,000 on hotel rooms just for an Eric Trump trip to Uruguay.
So it's not like the president has requested new and costly equipment with which to be protected. The Secret Service just can't afford the lifestyle of Trump and those around him.
