Tourists are flocking to New York to see the Trump Tower , increasing tourist dollars into that city .  There is no way it should cost the city an extra million a day to protect Trump , given the secret service has that covered.  It's a phony claim on their part to get money and because the current mayor doesn't like him. The president-elect can live anywhere he wants until the day he takes office. Trump won in part because he came across as a man of the people . Over 62 million feel he has our best interests in his heart .   Having been inside the White House three times myself , I can see where it will be a major step down for him moving in there. Were you worried about costs to the taxpayers when Obama was using Air Force One to jet around the country trying to get Hillary elected ? Or how about jetting all the way to Hawaii for Christmas the past eight years ?  How much am I willing to contribute ?  What ever the tax code says I should pay each year , unlike 47 percent who don't .
