President Donald Trump's golf resort in Ireland slapped extra security hired during his June visit with a bill of over $100,000 for items ranging from $975 for extra coffee and over $15,000 for snack packs.

The Irish Times first reported last month that the Doonbeg resort in County Clare in western Ireland was paid over 100,000 Euros ($111,000) for the extra 3,820 police officers hired to protect the president over his two-day state visit. The large contingent of security officers working overtime cost the country over 7.4 million Euros ($8.2 million).

Among the charges were over 904,000 Euros ($1 million) for the accommodation and food provided to the guards, along with 14,000 Euros ($15,500) for snack bags distributed to police over five days.

Notably, Fahrenthold highlights, police were charged 875 Euros ($975) for "additional tea and coffee due to inclement weather.

But you know, its no problem.

If you do the math for almost 4000 officers over 5 days it's actually not that outrageous, however 4000 officers seems a bit much. I'm not sure Trump had much control over how many police officers they brought on though

Looks like this was a test case for his G7 plans.

Again, this grift is so ridiculously shameless

Holy shit this guy is so vain.

but his kids are running his businesses so he totally isn't profiting from this

Trump never pays his bills, so I see no reason why Ireland should pay either

Doing the math it's only a little more than $25 per person over the course of the 5 days. That's actually a huge steal. I certainly can't feed and room myself for 5 days at a resort for $25

Jesus christ you guys will bitch about anything
