"The Trump Family is likely the first family in American history to have not profited off of the United States government," said Eric Trump in a statement. He added, "President Trump funded the vast majority of his campaign with hundreds of millions of dollars of his own money and turned away billions of dollars in real estate deals worldwide."

In total, the Trump Organization charged the agency responsible for protecting the president and his family at least $1.4 million US, according to Secret Service records released by the committee.

Grifter gonna grift.

Take it out of his pay. Since he took no pay there should be lots to cover the extras. And CBC spill the dirt of Trudeau please. We Canadians pay your salary so stick with Canada.

How much was Trudeau's grocery bill again?

How about the mansion of Obama and friends of Hillary?

Sounds like a smart man

Canada reporting on US news as always. Inferiority complex. Little man syndrome.

Cbc stand for American propaganda news while shielding the local government. This is how Trudeau travels when he's not flying.

No story yet on the UK's Lord Mountbatten being accused of Pedophelia in Ireland and the cover up?

How about being as concerned about Canada's corrupt Liberal govt that has almost bankrupted us?!

And Biden

Why do my taxes pay for your drivel

Now look into Skippy’s spending

No way. Trump acted like a sleaze. Breaking news!

Keep on passing along the BS from CNN.

Evangelicals and Conservatives in Canada think Trump is great.

So what if it was pricey, they still paid didn’t they?

Nothing but greed.

What is the cost of the military equipment Biden left in Afghanistan ?

Biden has spent more time in Delaware away from DC than Trump,Obama or Bush. Much of that time was spent on vacation

No surprise. This was reported during his failed presidency. I wonder how much Pierre Poilievre fleeced Canadians during his extended cross-country Anti-Trudeau Incel courting Rage Tour?

LockHimUpAlready

Seriously no shocker here

That must have inspired Trudeau 🤔

Not our problem

So, I guess Trump will be stealing from taxpayers for the left of his life.

But he didn't start a war so technically he saved his country trillions of dollars

DON THE CON

Are you comparing this to the liberals (canada) exorbitant expenses while , it's people are homeless and hungry and very soon freezing.

Who cares cbc

JustinTrudeau spent 12k on groceries last month fake news

Funny. No matter what the topic, anti Trudeau forces just have to take it over.

The Ghoul is true scum.

It’s getting close to the mid terms, the next three weeks will be interesting. Hang on it’s gonna get rocky. FTCBC

Trump is horrible. We're so lucky in Canada to have the Trudeau/Singh team.. Thank god we taxpayers give hundreds of millions dollars to spew biased, anti-liberal (I mean real 'liberal', not our so-called 'Liberal Party') garbage.. So very Inclusive... thanks.

Not surprising.

Shall we run through Trudeau 12k a month food expense? Flying everywhere across the country for no reason. Tripling the carbon tax at the worse time. Getting another raise april 1. Etc etc Oh yeah, you get paid by him so you’ll always protect your king.

CBC = National Enquirer

Trump also didn’t take a government pay for being president

This one is way more juicy

Grow up CBC.. Donald Trump?

Trudeau is a dictator so…there’s that!

Imagine the money we taxpayers could have sent to the Ukraine instead…..

Can you please pay any attention how much Trudeau decorated prime minister house? How many personnel caregivers . chef he needs? Please care more about Canadians Taxpayers money,. You are feed with Canadians Taxpayers’s money, not Americans. THANK YOU.

They also charged secret service, i.e, we tax payers, for the use of the golf carts at Bedminster. At the rate they charged, the government should have purchased some golf carts for Secret Service use which they could keep for the next President that spends most weekends golfing
