Donald Trump Jr.'s Wedding Ceremony Could Cost You More Than You Think—Here’s How Your Wallet Is Paying for the Party.
As Donald Trump Jr. prepares for his high-profile wedding ceremony to Kimberly Guilfoyle, consumer advocates are warning that the lavish event could have a trickle-down effect on your daily life—and your budget. While the couple’s big day may be a private celebration, the security and logistics costs often fall on taxpayers, from local police overtime to increased security zones that disrupt local businesses. Plus, the media frenzy drives up advertising costs on everything from groceries to gas, as companies pass along their branding expenses to you. Bottom line: Whether you're tuning in or tuning out, this ceremony might be costing you a few extra dollars at the register.
