The White house ordered 250 new Cadillac Escalades.

These are supposedly to be used for the Presidential motorcade and security detail. ''The 2026 Escalade has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price starting in the low $90,000’s, though upgrades take it well north of six figures. Its high-performance V-series runs about $170,000.'' Read that again. $170,000 dollars, each. Because, as he says ''we like to look sharp.'' If you don't do math or have a calculator handy, that is over 42 MILLION dollars. Because, you know...gotta look sharp. Meanwhile, back in the trenches... Almost 800,000 people in the US are homeless. The biggest reason is lack of affordable housing. Hunger is now affecting tens of millions of Americans. The US has tens of millions affected by food insecurity. Millions of these are seniors and children. But hey, gotta look sharp!

That is just wrong when there are people going without what they need.

While I certainly agree with you, our leader does not...after all, looking sharp is evidently more important than food or housing here in the US. Honestly, Judy...makes me want to be sick.

@MarieCoyle There are lots of homeless here and they build a new park for children at a cost of one and a half million dollars. Why not spend that money on a permanent place for the homeless.

@jstory07 I agree with you completely that the money could be spent to help many people in the US. Things like this just build more anger and animosity.

The same thing we face here. Politicians living extravagantly while 90% of the citizens àre living in abject poverty. It's sad

It's very sad, and doesn't speak well for leadership at all. I'm sorry, it's not easy for sure.

This is absolutely unbelievable. I don't understand how he can so easily spend that money on those things, when so many people are homeless or really struggling for the basics.

And you didn't add in the upgrades for safety being for the president.
