Trumpie's Toilets

[Deleted]

He can't even crap on a regular toilet when he travels.

I doubt these toilets are for him.

How many Secret Service agents travel with the president? It sounds like the toilets are for Secret Service to use, not Trump. Is it really so many to max the capacity of Bedminster? I have no idea.

The article isn't really clear. I guess my question is, what's the norm when the pres travels? Only 45 could put toilets on the media's radar.

I'm guessing the SS has a mobile deployment station and this is parked next to it so the agents don't have to go inside the CC to use the facilities all the time. I imagine the mobile unit has a bathroom but it's probably too small to accommodate the output volume for an extended duration.

So, assuming the portapotties are for SS agents covering him, whytf can't they use the regular ones in the actual buildings? I need to see where these things are relative to the SS's trailers or whatever they use for offices and staging, and where they are relative to the Bedminster buildings. Because I cannot imagine the bathrooms inside are less secure than portapotties. I still find the golf cart rental $$ more infuriating because really, the family should be responsible for SS oop expenses specific to a personal trip to his home, which is what Trump refers to these places as. Sheesh. All I see is profiteering.

My knowledge of this coming from TWW but they "don't discuss operational details" or some such quote. I also am guessing they have their mobile unit somewhere on property but not actually up front and center so hauling ass in and out of the cc would be a hike. Just my guess.

As to why the potties have to be so special it could be either that the CC has restrictions on what PPs are permitted or it could be a setup where these are multi-units with a hand washing station and that just costs more.

As far as admin expenses going this isn't terribly egregious IMO. Him flitting off all the time, his wife and kid not living with him is more the issue for me. That - and the adult kids - is the true cost driver.

Also, I was really hoping this was going to be about his personal gofer carrying around a golden toilet seat in an attaché case so 45*'s ass never touches regular toilet seats.
