Thank you for asking! Trump charges the Secret Service $396.15 per night for a room at Mar-a-Lago, and $17,000/month for a cottage at Trump Bedminster. https://t.co/23NUDxj26h — PolitiTweet.org

In Bedminster, $17K/month is a lot higher than the going rate in the area. At Mar-a-Lago, $396.15 is more than triple the government’s per-diem spending limit on hotels in the area, which was $121 in May and June. (Trump Org says the rates are “at cost,” but hasn’t elaborated) — PolitiTweet.org
