Petition calls for Melania Trump to move to White House or pay NY security costs
By Rebecca Savransky - 03/29/17 02:22 PM EDT

More than 200,000 people have signed a petition calling for Melania Trump to either move to the White House or pay for the security costs associated with her protection at Trump Tower.

"The U.S. taxpayer is paying an exorbitant amount of money to protect the First Lady in Trump Tower, located in New York City," the Change.org petition says.

I'll be your first signer. 

It is incredible how many completely stupid people reside in this country.

We only had to cover one place at a time with past presidents, when they went to the other one.  Now, we are covering two constantly and the Trump Tower one is hugely costly.

Trumps have said it is only until the son finishes the school year.  They will move in June.

Now that is news.

The day Liberals complain about the cost of something it's worth marking on your calendar.

@driftdriver

They didn't have to cover the ranch until he went there.  Now, we are covering two places at once.
We will see if the wife moves in June to the White House.  Just because Trump said that does not mean it will happen.  Plus we are covering his three adult kids and their families as they travel around the world or skiing as in a week ago.  One hundred secret service agents had to go on that trip due to so many of family going.  I would be cost conscious thinking about tax payers footing the bill for my pleasure.

If the moonbat Dems weren't constantly sending death threats and staging "demonstrations" AKA riots, security wouldn't be so expensive.... :pondering:

I think you are wrong. FDR spent long periods in Georgia, while his wife was elsewhere.

The family now has secret service protection the rest of their days, even after Trump is out of office.   In DC or in New York, it really doesnt matter.

And in this regard, Trump is no different than any other President or ex President, or their families.
