'It appears some federal agents are no longer paying for overly expensive bedrooms at Trump properties, opting instead for rooms at a nearby Hilton, Marriott, and Homewood Suites instead.'

In the year since former Donald Trump has been out of office, the former president has cost the U.S. Secret Service more than $1.3 million on hotel and transportation bills, according to documents obtained by The Daily Beast.

Traveling between South Florida and New Jersey, federal agents spent $788,286 on hotel rooms, another $286,802 on rental cars, and $262,091 on air and rail travel.

The Daily Beast recently received the documents after filing a public records request with the federal law enforcement agency, which protects current and former U.S. presidents.

While that $1.3 million is only a fraction of the overall cost of protection, there is some welcome news for taxpayers: It appears some federal agents are no longer paying for overly expensive bedrooms at Trump properties, opting instead for rooms at a nearby Hilton, Marriott, and Homewood Suites instead.

1. Let him join his friend Pootie

And have Pootie foot his security bill. Permanently.

2. Meaningless

Need to compare to recent POTUS-Bush/Obama?

3. Fewer bedbugs. Better room service.

And they don't have to risk being around TFG during their off time.
