The Secret Service has depleted annual funds protecting Donald Trump and his family. 

More than 1,000 agents have already hit the mandated annual payroll wall available to the Secret Service, and the Secret Service Director Randolph Alles confirmed that the organization no longer has the funds to pay hundreds of agents needed to secure Donald Trumps multiple properties as well as the ongoing mission to protect the President's large family. 

Over 7 months Donald Trump has leaned heavily upon the Secret Service, taking trips nearly every single weekend to his multiple properties. Donald Trump's family and adult children often take long overseas trips and vacations themselves, upping the people needing protection to 42 from the 31 previously required under the Obama Administration. 

At one point the Secret Service was forced to spend $60K on golf cart rentals alone from Donald Trumps Mar-A-Lago & Bedminster properties. 

With the President's extensive family making multiple business trips, costs are quickly rising- Eric Trump's business trip to Uruguay cost the Secret Service nearly $100K in hotel rooms alone, a necessary cost to secure lodging and cordon off Eric Trump at the hotel of his choice.
