Is there no mechanism whereby they can say 'sure, come over, but you have to pay for security'?

Fuck knows - The local police have long avoided answering too many awkward questions about their relationship with Trump since he first got involved here and there is only one known instance of them telling him to take a hike over being treated like his personal security force and that was long before he became president!

Still, his last official visit when in office cost several million but was paid from central funds - so there has been some scaling back.

Part of the problem is that as an ex-President, Trump is entitled to some amount of ongoing official security/protection. Maybe the US should be paying for it instead of us?

Thing is, other ex presidents have been through NE Scotland, staying largely under the radar and with no notable/significant costs for local policing. Bush Sr visited several times over the years and the Astor's estate had a guestbook that read like a cast list of modern US and UK history, right till they sold-up a few years back.

At least sixty grand in police costs for his recent visit to Scotland..!



You got off lucky. The US taxpayer paid $141,000,000 for his golf outings while he was in office;

Robert Reich, author and former Labor secretary, claims in an Oct. 19 post to his Facebook page that the hobby is subsidized by U.S. taxpayers.

"Once again, Trump brags about donating his $400,000 presidential salary. Somehow he forgot to mention that his golf trips have cost taxpayers $141,000,000," says a screenshot of a tweet Reich posted that same day....

In 2017-18, Trump spent 69 days of his presidency in Mar-a-Lago, a Palm Beach, Florida, resort owned by the Trump Organization; 33 at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club; and 31 at Trump National in Sterling, Virginia, according to USA TODAY in June 2018.

By this May 25, the president had visited a Trump golf course 266 times, CNN reported. And Sept. 5 marked Trump's 295th visit to one of his golf properties, according to CNN's Jim Sciutto....

An itemized breakdown of travel costs to various golf resorts totaled $141,450,266, according to Germain. Her tally of expenses includes the cost of flights to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster; law enforcement personnel costs for trips to Bedminster and Palm Beach; Coast Guard protections for Trump's Mar-a-Lago getaways; government-funded resort stays and luxury vehicle rentals in Turnberry, Scotland, another Trump-owned property, in 2018; and lodgings at Trump's golf club in Doonbeg, Ireland, in 2019. The last golf trip recorded on the website happened on Oct. 16.
