Is Trump still ripping off the Secret Service?

Ex presidents are entitled to Secret Service protection and you just know Trump isn't going to turn it down. But my question is: Does his SS detail stay at Mar-a-Lago, and if so, does he charge the government for their living quarters?

Throughout his pResidency, he charged premium rates for them to stay with him at his properties. It seems unlikely that he's letting them stay free at Mar-a-Lago.

Maybe they stay in an RV just off the property, but that doesn't offer him much personal protection.

That's what his life work has been, scamming, stealing etc. But I read somewhere that the SS protection for his kids just ended

It's one more thing that drives home the fact that their dad is a LOSER.

he can't squeeze any money from Vlad or the UAE or Qatar any more, I see him as the owner of a roadside Catskills motel for which he charges his SS protection $1000 a night off season and lives off the proceeds.

Because he will never stop grifting the American people.

Him in a jail cell, I mean. Not him charging for SS in the jail cell.
