Trump tower the "New York Whitehouse"

[b_line]

The NYPD estimates it will cost an additional $1 million PER DAY just for the NYPD portion of protection for Trump tower.

That's not including rent, secret service, and the travel.

Obama's vacations cost just over $3 mil in the last year. But Conservatives have been crying about the cost incurred by "the laziest president ever" for years.

It is not New York job to protect Trump. They are choosing to do so an complaining about that choice. They should flip Trump the bird an let secret service do they job.

BTW since you brought up apples to oranges comparison, what was Obamas costs before inauguration? While you are at it can you adjust them for population demographics?

And liberals complained about Bush Jr. jogging in the morning. So what? Both are petty.

NYCPD us involved to help minimize the impact to the city and also because Melania and the kids being there creates a significant risk for lots of regular new Yorkers.

Makes sense but we are talking about the richest an most influential financial center on the planet. This is kinda cost of doing business.

I do not care for people that complain about high cost of living in places everyone else would love to live in.

Secret service will have to rent space from the Trump's in Trump tower. So Trump has a small conflict of interest here. And Americans are pauing for all of that.

He seems to have conflict of interests all over the place.

Not surprised that you have no problem with a million per day being wasted when trumps the one causing the waste. Wonder how you would feel if a million per day was being wasted due to obama.
quite predictable you are.

You can not drop your dick act can you.

I would not care. I did not care when Michelle Obama spent $12,000 per hour on vacation flights to Europe. I believe in securing are presidents an there family.

I did not even whine when Obama spent over a million dollars on a one day flight to San Diego. If conflict of interest is the discussion, he had two campaign fundraiser stops along the way. Obama made us fund his campaign. Did I hear you complaining when it was your candidate doing actual dirty stuff? No.

Who is my candidate? I didn't vote for obama btw.

BTW if someone made a thread talking about how obama (or any other president) was unnecessarily wasting lots of money daily then i would not defend them for doing that.

I think unnecessarily wasting lots and lots of money on a daily basis is always a bad idea. I think its strange that anyone would think its a good idea.

You think a president or his family do not deserve well protected vacations for 8 long years? You think Michelle's two daughters should sacrifice there childhood cause it costs taxpayers money to keep them safe?

This Trump "waste" is cost of doing business in New York an has nothing to do with you. It is New York. Sorry for not caring that they have costs with living an doing business in the most powerful city in the world. If Trump were not in a huge metropolis an the finance capital of the world it would not cost so much. You expect me to cry for rich people cause being rich an powerful sometimes comes with extra expenses?

Agree to disagree. I think wasting 1 million dollars every day when there is no need to is a bad idea. I stand by that.

I suppose you are right. The richest place in the world probably can not afford the twelve cents per day that it will cost to keep the citizens safe. My guess is THEY probably welcome the extra security but who am I to tell someone that has nothing to do with it that there moral outrage is misplaced.

There is a facility designed to keep the President and his family safe. It's called the White House. Does it cost money to protect the White House? Yes. Does it cost extra money to protect the White House and a large building in downtown NYC that isn't designed to keep the President's family safe? Yeah, it cost a lot more and inconveniences a lot of people that didn't sign up for the ********.

I was hopeful shortly after the election that things wouldn't be as bad I imagined they could be. Now I think there is going to be 4 years of civil unrest and a constant struggle between those who oppose Trump's vision for the U.S. and those who support it.

I honestly believe the U.S. was in store for this no matter who won. Large sections of either side will not/can not accept the other sides candidate.

I see no indications of it getting better.

Agreed. Until some minds start opening this is just going to get worse and worse.

Trumps autistic son signed up for this?

Come on man stop being so old fashioned. We have new trials to deal with these days. I am sure it cost us a lot to secure GEB's Texas ranch for 8 years. It is not like we could leave it unwatched all that time, or now.

Let us get real about the costs.

It costs us a lot of money for Bill's penthouse. $250,000 per month if I remember right an that was back then who knows what it cost per month now.

Why do I care if New York City has to spend 12 cents per day on average for added protection? Hell do they not pay like $10 a day in tolls or ride a hour train that costs like $22 a day?

This is exactly the argument against Trump staying in new York. Why do you think the district of Columbia exists? It's the for this express purpose, to avoid the conflicts and distractions that take away from good governing.

He's the president, so he should act like it and live in the president's house.

It's $1 million per day. Literally nothing you have mentioned in this thread has cost more than half that, and even that was a one time expense for a flight.

If you can't see that Trump is willfully wasting taxpayer dollars, then don't talk about it.

Also, it's not just a cost for NYPD. they are being reimbursed for most of the cost of protection by the federal government. It's a cost we all share, and it is going to approach 1/2 billion per year.

If Trump wants to use Trump tower as his residence, I think he should have to pay the bill for the extra cost.

If this rich area can afford this why are they not putting 1 mill per day toward feeding and housing the homeless in the city?
