Trump plans on commuting to Trump Tower every weekend.

[applegrove]

Can the secret service make it safe enough for Trump to see his private spray tan booth at least once a week?

[RayOfHope]

1. More proof he has zero idea what the Presidency entails. Also I can't imagine that (m)

the people that live along the route and near his penthouse are going to enjoy the security lockdown thats going to come with a presidental entourage.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Except it will not be called Trump Tower anymore

I read it has to be known only by street address, cause anything called Trump is conflict of interest if he is Pres.

That's a happy thought..all those "trump" things no longer being called Trump.
He's gonna hate that.

2. If Obama has expressed the same idea

"Massive waste of tax payer dollars"

[Duckhunter935]

4. so true

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. How about that??? A Part-Time pResident!

[Equinox Moon]

8. I think he plans on Pence running it

As horrifying as that is.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. I expect you're right. Phooey. n/t

[COLGATE4]

18. That was what he offered Kasich when he was trying to

entice him to be his VP. Trump has no interest in actually doing the work required of the President. He sees himself as enjoying the perks (not the least of which is the ability to unleash the might on the entire US government on anyone who gets on the Donald's bad side) but none of the ha Crd, day to day work which he neither understands nor is in any way prepared for. Look for Pence to be a stupid version of Cheney, dedicating a whole lot of time and energy pushing anti abortion measures.

20. and anti-gay, of which Pence is a vigilante

[COLGATE4]

21. Absolutely correct. Pence is a rigid anti-gay

Fundie (among his many other failings).

5. This will inconvenience 10's of thousands of people every weekend, at least.

What a narcissistic asshat. When the president comes to NYC, the police close the streets along his route to traffic. He's going to do wonders for rush hour traffic on Fridays. And the area around the building gets heavy pedestrian traffic most days.

I hope the stores in there have online retailing, since their customers will not enjoy the hassle of trying to get to them come January.

6. I'm surprised he isn't planning on going back every night

Wonder if there will be complaints about security and travel expenses...yeah, probably not.

[Equinox Moon]

7. Do we care how safe he is?

[applegrove]

10. I do not think we should be hoping for

Trump to be assassinated. That makes us no different than the alt righters who were hoping some democrats would suicide themselves. Trump needs to be impeached. People need to live through what their vote for Trump means. Otherwise they'll just pine for the next populist dyslexic who can read a crowd and will get controlled by psychopaths in the end.

12. There comes a point when sometimes the leader has to go

and the enemy can't get close enough to do it, so....I'm just saying it's happened.

That's the backbone of the JFK theories. Inside job. I had a cabbie tell me in london that he thought the UK royal family got rid of Diana before she married an arab. Of course I'm not recommending it, but these things happen. Europeans chanted "long live the King" for centuries because they were always taking each other out, and it was a revolving door.

I'll assume that most leaders are more afraid of their own people than the country next door.

[applegrove]

13. Nope. Violence begets violence. We need to focus

on civilized means only. That is what democracy is. Islamic and Jewish people are coming together in the US as we speak. Love and understanding will win. It is how democracy rolls.

11. Great news for Isis, North Korea, Putin...

I'm sure they're glad to hear it. Makes booking the attacks so much simpler.

[LibraLiz1973]

16. I thought this, too.

Instead of staying in the most heavily fortified and staffed residence in our country, he'd rather run home to his gold plated tower.
In addition to being an utter waste of tax payer money it's selfish as hell. The secret service will be stretched thin and overworked to lock down so many different areas.

New Yorkers are going to take the closing off of their street lying down. It will be one protest after another.

He's so goddamn dumb.

[KT2000]

14. to take care of personal business

no doubt. Check in on the blind trust.

[Generic Other]

15. What happens to his emails?

Do they just tweet them to him?

[BainsBane]

19. He's already planning to make the presidency a part-time job

[MrScorpio]

22. A lot of tourists only go to NYC on the weekends

Not to mention the fact that it's time off for New Yorkers.

A lot of people are going to be pissed.

Are they going to do background checks on all the Trump Tower's residents?

[Sorceress]

23. Hey, he does NOT do weekends. What's the problem? LOL

[MoonRiver]

24. I don't care where he is. The damage will be done, regardless. eom
