Will Trump Go Broke Paying For Security For All His Buildings .....

around the world?

If Trump's buildings around the world are easy terrorist targets - it means that he would have to protect them some way to prevent that prospect.

I know that Trump Tower in NYC is now probably being protected by the Secret Service and we taxpayers are probably paying for that protection because it is Trump's residence.

But what about all his other buildings and business interests that he owns or has his name on around the world?

It would seem to me that he would have to protect them in some way and that the cost of such security protection would be prohibitive. Also that cost would not be picked up by U.S. taxpayers.

So wouldn't such security protection for his business interests around the world be so costly that he'd probably go broke?

1. He'll find a way for us

his "subjects" to pay for his various properties' security.

5. I Figured That This Would Be The Response For My Post Question....0

we taxpayers have to resist any attempt by Trump to get us taxpayers to pick up the tab.

If he won't divest himself of his business interests then he solely has the responsibility to shoulder any costs he incurs for protecting his business interests.

If he considers himself to be the consummate businessman - the hey Donald - that's the cost of doing business.

8. Hey, they're already advertising

secret service protection as an amenity at TT.

So yeah, I do think he'll grift his way into getting us to pay for it.

Do I hope I'm wrong? Yes, but I don't think so.

2. I'm surprised that he can even get liability insurance for all his commercial buildings

considering the new increased risk of harm and/or destruction since he's been "elected" president.

3. More than that

knowing that they are targets, who would want to buy a condo or stay in a hotel with Trump written large on it? He can convince some people to stay at the Post Office in DC, but beyond that, who would want to?

4. HA! WE will go broke protecting his damn buildings..

He's never paid a dime to anyone for anything that he could make someone ELSE pay for.

6. I'm sure we'll be on the hook for all of that cost

He is a CON man after all

7. also, the licensing

who will want to license that brand if it brings terrorists? One attack at any one of the Trump licensed properties in the world will be an attack on Trump, not just an attack on a location far away.

9. Nope - budgets of cities like NYC and the taxpayers who fund that budget will go broke

The security bill in NYC at Trump tower and the requirements of the NYPD are rumored to be over $500,000 daily....

10. No. WE will pay for it. The US gov't will pick up the tab.

The entire US gov't is his personal bank account now.

11. He can now steal far more than he loses. Just ask his buddy Satya Natondo - extortion of $5 Billion

Satya got caught on tape trying to extort $5 B from Freeport Mining but kept his job as Speaker of House in Indonesia. Carl Icahn swooped in and bought up their stock so he must know something we don't.

Figure out how best to survive in a rich oligarchy. That's my suggestion.

12. Not asking the right question

Do we go to war and commit billions of dollars in treasure and the lives tens of thousands of our brave men and women in uniform because someone attacked a trump building?

What will that cost be?
