But even when FLOTUS and their son join Donald Trump in D.C., it will still be really expensive to protect the first family whenever they travel to their penthouse in New York. The NYPD said the cost of police protection while POTUS is in town averaged about $308,000 per day. Trump hasn't visited New York City since assuming office in late January, choosing instead to frequently fly to Mar-A-Lago , his private club in Palm Beach, FL. But once the weather in Florida gets hotter, he is expected to spend more time traveling to New York City to spend time at Trump Tower, according to CNN
