How much money is being spent to protect Trump in NYC?

[sayuridoll]

Protecting President-elect Donald Trump and his family is costing New York City more than $1 million a day, according to three city officials.

And those costs won't necessarily drop significantly once he moves to the White House

So between this, the stupid-ass victory tour he has planned and the metric fuck-ton of tax cuts the rich will get.. I fear for all the things that will be sacrificed in the process - social security, food stamps, healthcare, crumbling infrastructure... you know, all the things that don't affect Trump or his ilk.

Also, I'm starting to believe the theories that Trump is just going to be the face of the presidency, doing rallies and using Twitter to muddy the waters, while Mike Pence runs the whole thing. And that is a very scary thought.

Didn't he say during the campaigning that he was going to do so?

[amyura]

Yup. Which is how he got the evangelical vote. They know Pence is one of them.

I can't help thinking if a Dem president wanted to set up residency anywhere else, the GOP voters would shit an entire goat in rage.

You got the job dude, now try actually acting according to the traditions and laws of the job, which means "haul your spoiled ass to the white house."

Maybe it doesn't have enough gold leafing?

(having only visited NYC in rush hour, what a fucking jackhole he is for doing this)

I think I've reached a point whate I am sort of resigned to the fact that everything is just royally fucked up and willl be that way for at least the next 4 years. It's either that or being apoplectic about every 5 minutes, and my body can only take so much. *weary sigh*

We're only thinking short term. After his (hopefully short) stint as president, he will need secret service for life.

[sobota]

they stopped offering secret service for life in 2012. at least there's that.

[zukpager305]

Oh? Good.

[sayuridoll]
