The U.S. Secret Service has formally requested the purchase of two jet skis in order to better protect President Trump and his family during their frequent stays at their vacation homes. “President Trump and his family spend several weeks throughout the year in Mara Lago FL and Hamptons NY. The first family is very active in water sports,” reads the Secret Service’s order request, which was first noted by NBC News’ Scott McFarlane. “Several family members along with their guest participate in open water activities for which USSS Special Agent Rescue Swimmers are responsible.” According to the request, special agents have been renting the watercraft with “their own personal funds to allow them to be near the protectees in various water environments.”

“The United States Secret Service (USSS) has a requirement for the purchase of 2 Kawaski Jet Ski’s and 1 Dual Trailer,” reads the agency’s request submitted Monday. Kawaski jet skis retail for $9,999, and upwards of $15,299. The request notes that Secret Service “rescue swimmers who travel with former President Obama and his family in Hawaii have partnered with local police and rescue agencies” to use jet skis for the same reason.

3. The first family is very active in water sports... well orange asshole is... but not that kind...

5. ...

4. I don't have a problem with this.

In the grand scheme of the current administration, the secret service requesting $30k to do their job isn’t out of line. Trump spends that much in snacks on one flight.

6. Could Eric possibly be any dumber looking?

7. let the fuckers drown.. who cares...

8. In the grand American tradition of "if anything is worth doing...

....it's worth overdoing". Please tell me when the last time either of these three morons were anywhere near an open body of water. This sounds like the Secret Service "boys" want their toys.

9. Who told them that pulling your lips over your teeth is a smile?

And I'm not convinced they need jet skis.

10. President Obama and family...

vacationed in Hawaii...nothing ever said about jet skis...or is the ocean not water?...I’m confused.

11. Sounds like hawaii agencies already have jet skis

That the Secret Service borrows when needed.

12. They already have boats patrolling the intracoastal

Why do they need JetSkis as well??

Uh, they never go in the water, so this is a lie by the way. They may use their pool at Mar-a-Lago, but not the ocean.

13. They're actually for...

Retrieving Trump's golf balls that he hits in the drink

14. "The first family is very active in water sports"

The secret service is telling us something here.

16. The White House laundry staff need to start talking.

15. Not too far fetched prediction ...

Trump will use his clout and buy them at or close to wholesale. He will then lease them to the Secret Service until it is time for him to leave office, probably tripling his money at least. It will be understood that when his term is up he will get to keep the Jet Skis because he purchased them. Then he will sell them at close to the original retail price, making a profit on that also. He will see nothing wrong with this because he regards himself as a "shrewd" businessman.
