Trump Tower condos are now touting the U.S. Secret Service as a 'new amenity'
Residents of Trump Tower have access to the usual list of luxury building amenities, including a full-time doorman, valet, and maid service. Only, tenants now have access to an amenity even some of the poshest buildings in the country can't boast — the U.S. Secret Service.

"Best value in the most secure building in Manhattan," it adds. Another advertisement for an available condo asked, "Fifth Avenue buyers interested in Secret Service protection?"
